Privacy Policy

How MakerGIF collects, processes, and safeguards your account and media data.

Last updated: 2026-11-13

Introduction

MakerGIF ("MakerGIF", "we", "our", or "us", operated at makergif.com) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard data when you use MakerGIF Studio, our AI generation endpoints, and client-side GIF and sprite tools.

Information We Collect

  1. Account Information: Your name, email address, and optional profile avatar provided during registration or Google sign-in.
  2. Generation & Task Metadata: Prompts, grid specifications (2x2, 3x3, 4x2), credit consumption logs, and output asset links stored in your Creations history.
  3. Uploaded Reference Media: Images you optionally attach for AI character consistency or convert locally in browser tools (browser-only GIF, sprite-sheet, and video splitting tools run directly in your browser without server storage unless explicitly saved).
  4. Payment Information: Billing and checkout transactions are processed by our payment providers (such as Stripe, PayPal, or Creem). MakerGIF never stores full payment card numbers.
  5. Cookies & Preferences: Essential session cookies for authentication and local preferences such as language and Light/Dark theme selection.

How We Use Your Data

  • Deliver AI sprite sheet and animated GIF generation, including automatic credit refunds on failed generations.
  • Maintain your personal Creations library, credit ledger, and subscription entitlements.
  • Prevent abuse, enforce rate limits, and troubleshoot service reliability.
  • Send transactional notices such as account verification, purchase receipts, and support replies.

Third-Party Processing

To execute AI generation requests, prompts and optional reference images are transmitted securely to our configured AI inference providers solely to fulfill your requested task. We do not sell your personal information or prompts to third-party data brokers.

Data Retention & Deletion

You may delete individual creations from Settings -> My Creations at any time, or request full account deletion by contacting support@makergif.com.
