Privacy Policy

MemeRiff (memeriff.com) is an AI tool that puts you into trending meme videos from a photo. This policy explains what we collect when you use it, why, who else handles it, and how long we keep it.

In short, we only collect what it takes to make and deliver your results. Your uploads are sent to an AI service to make your result and for nothing else. We never sell personal data, we don't show ads, and we don't use your uploads or results to train AI models.

What we collect

You sign in with Google. We receive your name, email address and profile picture from Google, and we don't get your Google password.

When you make a video, we keep the photos you uploaded, the meme you picked and the video that comes back. We also keep how many videos you have bought and used.

When you buy videos, Stripe processes the payment. We receive the amount, what you bought and whether the payment went through. We never see or store your card number.

Technical information

We use your IP address briefly to protect the site from abuse through rate limits. We don't use it to follow you around the web.

If you arrive from a link with campaign tags or from another website, we note where you came from in a cookie for 30 days, so we know which links bring people in. It is attached to your account only if you sign up.

We count visits with Rybbit, an analytics tool we run on our own server. It sets no cookies, and we see totals such as which pages are read, not who you are. The cookies we use are listed in our Cookie Policy.

How we use it

We use this information only to run MemeRiff: making your results and showing them in your account, managing your videos, payments and refunds, keeping the service safe, and answering your emails. We don't send marketing emails, and we don't share your details with anyone for their own marketing.

Who handles your data

Your photos are sent to APIMart, the AI service that runs the video model (ByteDance's Seedance). It checks them against its content rules and uses them, together with the meme's clip or prompt, to make your video. It may keep a copy for a short time under its own terms.

Before a photo is stored, and before a prompt you write is used, we have it checked for sexual, graphic or self-harm content by a moderation service (APIMart, or Sightengine as a backup). A photo that fails the check is not stored.

Cloudflare provides our hosting, database and file storage. Google handles sign-in, and Stripe handles payments. These companies may process data in the United States and in other countries where they operate.

We may also disclose information when the law requires it, for example in response to a valid court order.

Who can see your files

Your uploads and results are not listed or published anywhere on the site, and nobody else can see them in your account. Each file does have its own web link, though, made of a long random string that can't be guessed. Anyone you give that link to can open the file, so share links only with people you want to see them.

How long we keep it

Nothing is deleted automatically: your photos and videos stay in your account until you delete them or ask us to. Deleting an item in My videos also erases its uploaded photo and result from our storage (a file that another item still uses is kept until that item is deleted too). To remove everything we hold about you, email us and we will do it within 30 days.

Payment records are kept as long as tax and accounting law requires, even after your account is deleted.

Your choices

You can ask us for a copy of your data, to correct it, or to delete your account and everything in it. Depending on where you live, you may have further rights, such as objecting to how your data is used. Email us from the address on your account and we will reply within 30 days.

Security

All traffic uses HTTPS, and only we can reach the database and storage. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your data, and we will tell you promptly if a breach puts it at risk.

Children

MemeRiff is for adults. Accounts are only for people 18 and over, and photos of children must not be uploaded. If we find a photo of a child, we delete it.

Changes

If we change this policy in a way that matters, we will update the date at the top and post a notice on the site before the change takes effect.
