Privacy policy

Santa AI Photo & Chat

Effective: September 15, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Flyway Apps ("we", "us" or "our") collects, uses, discloses and retains information when you use Santa AI Photo & Chat (the "App"). It also explains the choices available to you. The App is designed for parents, guardians and families; children should use it only with adult supervision.

1. Information We Collect

Optional profile data: The name, age, city and profile photo you choose to provide.

Photos and creative inputs: Photos you select or capture, a chosen template, and optional instructions when you request an AI image.

Chat data: Messages, recent conversation context, and optional profile details used to personalize a reply.

Voice features: Microphone input when you actively start voice typing. Your operating-system speech provider may process the audio; our chat backend receives the recognized text.

Technical data: An app-generated installation/device identifier, platform, app version, IP address, request time, status and limited error/security information. We do not use the Android Advertising ID in the current version.

Local data: App preferences, profile cache, recent chat history and creations stored on your device.

You can begin in guest mode without creating a profile. Please do not submit a child's full name, precise location, contact details or other information that is not needed for the feature.

2. How We Use Information

We use information to provide requested profiles, AI images, chat, speech, editing and saving features; personalize the experience; maintain safety and security; prevent misuse; troubleshoot errors; respond to privacy requests; and comply with law.

We do not sell personal information.

3. Photos and Generated Images

When you request an AI image, the selected photo and creative inputs are transmitted over HTTPS to our backend and then to an AI processor, including OpenAI, to create the requested result.

The bundled generation backend deletes its temporary source-photo upload after the AI request finishes and does not intentionally retain the returned generated image.

A creation you save remains on your device unless you choose to share it.

A profile photo is different: it is stored on our server so it can appear with your profile, until replaced or deletion is requested.

4. Chat, Speech Recognition and Text-to-Speech

To generate a Santa reply, the App sends your message, up to a limited amount of recent conversation context, and any optional personalization details to our backend and AI provider.

Recent chat history is stored locally and can be cleared from the chat screen.

If you use voice typing, the device's speech-recognition service may process microphone audio under the platform/provider's privacy terms. The recognized text is then handled like a typed message.

Text-to-speech may use the device's speech service to read replies aloud.

5. Service Providers and Disclosures

We disclose information only as needed to providers that help operate the App, such as hosting, storage, platform, security, speech and AI-processing providers; when you direct us to share content; to protect users, rights or safety; or when required by law.

These providers may process information in countries other than your own.

OpenAI states that data submitted through its business/API services is not used to train its models unless the customer opts in. Its default abuse-monitoring logs may contain prompts and responses and may be retained for up to 30 days, subject to its controls, legal requirements and safety review. Image/file inputs may also be scanned for child-safety abuse.

6. Advertising

The current reviewed version does not contain the Google Mobile Ads/AdMob SDK.

If advertising is added later, we will update this Privacy Policy and applicable app-store disclosures before the ad-enabled version is released.

Where required, we will request consent and provide privacy choices.

For children or users of unknown age, applicable versions will use child-directed treatment, non-personalized and age-appropriate ads, and will not transmit the Android Advertising ID, in accordance with applicable Google Play Families requirements.

If enabled, Google and its partners may process identifiers, IP address, app interactions, diagnostics and advertising data to provide, limit, secure and measure ads. The exact production disclosures will be listed here before that feature launches.

7. In-App Purchases

The current reviewed version does not offer paid in-app products or subscriptions.

If they are added later, purchases will be processed by Google Play or Apple's App Store.

The store processes payment credentials; we may receive product, transaction, receipt and entitlement information needed to provide and restore the purchase, prevent fraud and support users.

We do not receive full payment-card details.

Purchase terms and this Privacy Policy will be updated before launch.

8. Retention

• Temporary source photos on our bundled AI-generation server are deleted after processing finishes.

• Saved creations and recent chat history remain locally until you delete/clear them or remove App storage.

• Profile information and profile photos remain on our backend until replaced or profile deletion is completed.

• Technical/security logs are retained only as operationally necessary, subject to our hosting configuration and legal duties.

• AI providers may retain limited abuse-monitoring data according to their terms; OpenAI's default API period is up to 30 days.

9. Security

We use HTTPS for data in transit and take reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Families and Children's Privacy

The App is intended to be selected and supervised by a parent or guardian. We minimize requested data and offer guest use.

Parents and guardians may request access to, correction of or deletion of a child's submitted profile information.

If we learn that information was collected from a child in a way that requires parental consent and valid consent was not obtained, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

11. Account/Profile Deletion and Your Rights

You may decline optional profile fields, clear chat history, delete local creations, and change camera, photo and microphone permissions in device settings.

To delete your profile and associated data, open:

Profile → Delete profile & data → Delete permanently

This deletes the server profile, stored profile photo, local chat history, app preferences and saved in-app creations.

You can also email us if you cannot access the App.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, object, restrict processing, withdraw consent or complain to a data-protection authority. We may need to verify a request before acting on it.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when the App, providers or legal requirements change.

We will update the effective date and provide additional notice when required.

Material new collection will not be hidden behind a future-feature statement; this page and store disclosures will be updated before the applicable release.
