EffortlessVI Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 2026-07-20

At EffortlessVI, we believe you should focus on your experiences, not worrying about your data.
We maintain your information with the highest standards of privacy, confidentiality, and data safety.

1. Information We Collect and How We Use It

• Phone Numbers: We collect your phone number strictly to verify your identity, send login tokens, and secure your account via Twilio.
• Images and Hashes: When you use our image description tools, you upload images. We generate a unique digital fingerprint (hash) of that image and store it securely alongside the image on our servers to link the data exclusively to your account.
• Payment Information: Payment processing is handled securely by Stripe. EffortlessVI never views, records, or stores your raw credit card numbers or banking credentials.

2. Third-Party Data Partners

To provide our core features, we securely share specific data points with a few trusted, industry-standard partners:

• Twilio: Used to deliver your login verification text messages.
• Stripe: Used to handle secure, encrypted billing and payment processing. You can review Stripe's Privacy Policy here.
• AI Processing Providers (OpenAI, Anthropic/Claude, xAI/Grok): To generate high-quality, descriptive text for your uploads, your images are transmitted securely to these platforms for processing.

3. Data Encryption and Server Security

• Data in Transit: All traffic, images, and text sent between your device, our servers, and our AI partners are strictly encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS/SSL).
• Server Hardening: Our production servers are fully hardened and hosted in high-security facilities located in Paris, France, and Germany via Scaleway.
• Confidentiality: We maintain strict internal data confidentiality. We will never sell your data, lease it, or share it with third parties, absent a legally binding judicial subpoena.

4. Data Retention and Deletion

• 30-Day Image Purge: To protect user privacy and manage server resources, uploaded images and their corresponding text descriptions are automatically and permanently deleted from our servers after 30 days.
• Account Deletion: You can request the complete, permanent deletion of your account and associated phone records at any time by contacting us directly via
  [email protected].
