Additional Notes about the AI Avatar Feature

The AI Avatar feature allows users to create AI generated Avatars that look like you. To use this feature the user needs to select their gender and upload 10-30 photos of themselves.

These photos are used to train a copy of a stable diffusion model that will be then used to generate avatars. To perform the model training and avatar generation we make use of a 3rd party service called Astria.ai.

Astria.ai is a popular service that is used by many products similar to ours to generate AI avatars based on stable diffusion. For more information please on how they process your photos and avatars please refer to their privacy policy here : https://www.astria.ai/privacy Your use of the AI Avatars feature in our app is also governed by their privacy policy as we use astria.ai to train and generate your AI Avatars.

72 hours after we train the model on astria.ai, we will send an API request to Astria to tell them to immediately delete the AI model from Astria.ai's server and the copy of your generated avatars on their servers.

Your final generated avatars are stored on our servers for 30 days after which they will be deleted. You will need to download the final avatars within 30 days using the app, or else you may not get access to them.

Your input photos and avatars are viewable by our team during the durations mentioned above, so please keep this in mind when uploading any images. We may access these photos to help improve the quality of our avatar generation. For example we may compare the input images to the final avatars to make sure that we are generating high quality avatars, or so that we can ensure that the generated avatars are in the styles that we intend.

Please refer to our terms of service for more information.
