The privacy checklist (quick scan)
A trustworthy provider should clearly answer these questions in plain language (not buried in vague terms). If you can’t find a clear answer, assume the worst and avoid uploading sensitive photos.
- Retention: how long uploads are stored.
- Deletion: can you delete uploads and generated images?
- Training usage: are uploads used to train models?
- Access: is your library private to your account?
- Sharing: can links be made private/unlisted?
What to look for in a privacy policy
Retention (how long your images exist on their servers)
Look for specific timeframes (for example “30 days” or “until you delete”) rather than vague phrases like “as needed.” Shorter retention reduces long-term risk.
Deletion (do you control your data?)
The safest pattern is: you can delete uploads and outputs yourself, deletion is permanent, and backups are purged on a defined schedule.
Training usage (are your uploads used to improve models?)
Some providers use uploads for model training by default; others never do; some have opt-in/opt-out settings. Prefer services that keep personal uploads private and do not train on them without explicit permission.
Safer upload habits
Even with a good provider, your habits matter. These reduce the chance you accidentally share sensitive information through images or links.
Avoid sensitive content
Skip IDs, documents, medical images, or anything you wouldn’t share publicly. Also avoid photos that reveal home addresses, license plates, or private locations in the background.
Use clear account controls
Choose providers that provide account-level privacy and deletion options. For teams, look for role-based access so not every admin can browse user content.
Share responsibly
If you share generated images, remove personal metadata and avoid exposing private locations or minors. Prefer private/unlisted sharing over public links if you just need to send results to a client.
