Privacy

This Privacy Policy applies to your use of ctrlc.ai. We operate from the Republic of Korea for a global audience.

Third-party websites and AI tools have their own privacy policies. This policy doesn't cover the information you give them directly.

We use this information to:

• Run the platform and provide features like search, collections, and prompt copying.
• Process your uploads and automatically generate helpful tags.
• Remember your preferences (like dark mode or grid layout).
• Understand how people use the site so we can improve it.
• Keep the platform secure, prevent spam, and enforce our rules.
• Send you important account updates or support replies.
• Comply with legal requirements.

We process this data based on legitimate business interests, user consent, and legal necessity.

When you upload a ref, we may send the image and prompt to third-party AI models to generate tags and descriptions. This helps keep the platform organized.

These AI models only process data to support our site features. We do not use your private data to train external foundational AI models.

Your public profile, uploads, prompts, and public collections can be seen, copied, and indexed by search engines. Don't upload anything you want to keep private.

Because public images are dedicated under CC0, anyone can download and reuse them.

We may share data:

• With trusted service providers (like hosting, database, and AI tools) that help us run the site.
• With the public, for the content you intentionally publish.
• When legally required to comply with a valid government request or protect user safety.
• During a business transfer, like a merger or acquisition.
• With your direct consent.

We do not sell your personal data. We also do not use your uploaded private information for third-party targeted advertising.

We use essential cookies to keep you logged in and remember your settings. We also use privacy-friendly analytics tools to see how the site is performing.

You can block cookies in your browser, but some parts of the site (like logging in or saving refs) might stop working.

ctrlc.ai is based in South Korea, but we use global service providers. This means your data may be transferred and processed in other countries with different privacy laws. We use standard safeguards to keep it secure.

We keep your data as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service and meet legal obligations.

If you delete your account, your personal data is removed from active systems. Residual copies may briefly remain in our routine security backups before being automatically overwritten.

Public images you shared may remain on the site even after you leave.

Depending on where you live, you have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. You can manage most of this directly in your account settings.

For specific privacy requests, email contact@ctrlc.ai. We won't discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

We use industry-standard measures to protect your data. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure. Please protect your login credentials and let us know if you spot any strange activity.

ctrlc.ai is for professionals and is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from kids. If we find out we have, we will delete it immediately.

We may update this policy occasionally. If we make big changes, we'll let you know. The effective date is always at the top of the page.
