Your photo stays private.
Main Character uses your photo only to create and privately deliver the artwork you purchase.
What we process
We process your account identifier, the photo you upload, your selected visual direction, payment references, the generated artwork, and limited technical information needed to secure and operate the service. Stripe handles complete payment-card details.
AI image generation
Your uploaded photo and selected visual instructions are sent through the OpenAI API to generate the artwork. OpenAI acts as a service provider for this step. We do not use your photo to create a public profile or gallery.
Storage and visibility
Source photos and generated artwork are stored in private buckets. Access is tied to the account that purchased the artwork. Generated artwork has no public result page; sharing or downloading it is your choice.
Retention
Unpaid drafts expire after approximately 24 hours. A paid source photo is retained while generation or a technical retry may still be required. Finished artwork remains in your account until you delete it or request deletion. Payment and security records may be retained where reasonably necessary or legally required.
Photos of other people
You must have permission from every person shown. Photos with no more than two people work best. A parent or guardian must authorize every person shown who is under 18.
Your controls
You can download or permanently delete a finished artwork from your account. For access, correction, privacy, or failed-delivery requests, contact [email protected].
