A straightforward privacy policy.

Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Merin collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you visit the website, create an account, use the app, or interact with generated content and related services.

We try to collect only the information needed to operate, secure, support, and improve the product.

Information we collect

The exact data we collect depends on how you use Merin, but it may include account, billing, usage, and content-related information.

• Account information such as your name, email address, sign-in provider details, and profile image.
• Payment and subscription details provided through billing and payment partners.
• Prompts, uploads, reference images, generated assets, and other content you submit or create in the service.
• Usage information such as page visits, app interactions, device/browser details, referral pages, and feature activity.
• Log, security, and diagnostic information used to monitor performance, detect abuse, and troubleshoot issues.

How we use information

We use information to provide the service, personalize the experience, process transactions, and improve product quality over time.

• To authenticate users and maintain account sessions.
• To generate thumbnails, product photos, prompts, and related outputs.
• To process subscriptions, billing events, and plan entitlements.
• To analyze usage patterns, measure product performance, and understand demand for features and landing pages.
• To detect fraud, enforce policies, prevent abuse, and protect users and infrastructure.
• To communicate important service updates, billing notices, and policy changes.

Analytics and cookies

Merin uses analytics and similar technologies to understand traffic and product usage. This includes Google Analytics, which helps us measure page views, navigation patterns, and important product actions such as clicks and conversions.

Cookies and similar storage technologies may be used to remember sessions, maintain product functionality, and measure engagement.

When we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with third parties only when reasonably necessary to operate the product or comply with legal obligations.

• Service providers that support hosting, authentication, analytics, storage, payments, and customer operations.
• Professional advisors, legal authorities, or regulators when disclosure is required by law or reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, or the integrity of the platform.
• A buyer, investor, or successor in connection with a merger, financing, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, subject to appropriate confidentiality protections.

Data retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the service, meet contractual obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with legal requirements.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of data, your account status, and whether information is needed for billing, fraud prevention, or support.

Your choices

You can choose not to provide certain information, but that may limit access to some features or prevent the service from functioning properly.

• You can manage certain account details through your sign-in provider or account settings when available.
• You can limit analytics through browser controls, cookie settings, and available privacy tools from relevant providers.
• You can stop using the service at any time, though certain information may still be retained when required for legal, billing, or security reasons.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. No system is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Policy updates

We may revise this Privacy Policy as the product evolves or as legal requirements change. When we do, we will update the last-updated date on this page. Continued use of Merin after an updated policy becomes effective means you acknowledge the revised version.
