1. Introduction
Welcome to AnimeVisionsGallery ("Site", "Platform", "We", "Us", "Our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website and services, including our AI character generation features ("Services").

2. Information We Collect
We may collect information about you in a variety of ways. The information we may collect on the Site includes:
A. Information You Provide to Us
- Character Data: When you create characters, we collect the information you provide, such as character name, description, age, height, weight, other stats, and any AI prompt used for generation. If you provide a "Creator's Nickname," this is also collected and stored as part of the character's "other stats."
- Images: If you upload an image for a character or if an image is generated by AI, the image data (or its resulting Data URI before upload) is processed. Final images are stored with our third-party storage provider, Vercel Blob.
B. Information Collected Automatically (Locally on Your Browser)
- AI Generation Cooldown Status: To manage fair use of our AI generation features without requiring user accounts, we store a timestamp of your last AI generation in your browser's `localStorage`. This helps enforce a cooldown period between generations. This data is stored locally in your browser and is not directly tied to your personal identity by us if you are not logged in.
