10. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction, including:
- Encryption in transit (TLS/HTTPS) for all communications;
- Encryption at rest for database storage;
- Secure password hashing;
- Token-based authentication with expiring sessions;
- Restricted database access with connection security;
- Secure payment processing with signature verification;
- Regular security reviews and dependency updates.
While we take reasonable measures to protect your data, no system is 100% secure. In the event of a personal data breach that poses a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and the CNIL within 72 hours in accordance with Articles 33 and 34 of the GDPR.
11. Children's Privacy
The Service is not intended for individuals under eighteen (18) years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 18.
If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child under 18, we will take steps to delete such data promptly. If you believe we have inadvertently collected data from a minor, please contact us immediately at support@pixone.ai.
In accordance with French law (Article 7-1 of the French Data Protection Act), specific parental consent requirements apply to minors under 15. However, as our Service requires users to be 18+, these provisions are addressed by our age restriction.
12. Automated Decision-Making
The Service involves the following automated processing:
- Content moderation: AI models include automated content moderation that may reject prompts or generated content based on provider-level safety policies. This automated decision may result in generation failure and credit deduction without output.
- Abuse detection: Automated systems detect and prevent abuse (e.g., multiple account creation, free-tier circumvention). This may result in automatic restrictions on your access.
Under Article 22 of the GDPR, you have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing that produces legal effects or similarly significant effects. If you believe an automated decision has been made in error, you may contact us at support@pixone.ai to request human review.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons. Material changes will be communicated via:
- Email notification to registered users;
- A prominent notice on the Platform;
- Updated "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
