LocalPop ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our service.

We use OpenAI's services to generate content. Your business information may be processed by OpenAI's systems, but:
This section applies only if you choose to use the optional AI Likeness feature, which requires uploading photographs of yourself. The feature is never required to use LocalPop.
When you enable this feature, we collect (a) your original photographs and (b) scans of face geometry derived from those photographs — each a biometric identifier under the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (740 ILCS 14/10) and the Texas Capture or Use of Biometric Identifier Act (Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 503.001), and biometric data under GDPR Article 4(14) and California CPRA (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.140).
The sole purposeof this collection is to generate AI images resembling you for your own business social media posts. We do not use your biometric data for identity verification, advertising targeting, analytics, or model training, and we do not sell, lease, trade, or profit from it (740 ILCS 14/15(c); Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 503.001(c)).
This is our publicly posted biometric data retention and destruction schedule:
We collect biometric data only after you provide an explicit written release through an in-app consent screen presented before any photo upload, in compliance with 740 ILCS 14/15(b) and Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 503.001(b). Under GDPR Article 9(2)(a), this constitutes explicit consent for biometric data processing. We record a server-side timestamp of your consent at the time it is given.
You may withdraw consent at any time using the “Delete all & revoke consent” button in your settings. Withdrawal stops all future use of your likeness and triggers immediate deletion of your photos. It does not affect posts already generated and downloaded.
Images generated using your likeness are AI-generated synthetic content. Under EU AI Act Article 50(4) (effective 2 August 2026), when you publish AI-generated images depicting real persons on social media, you are responsible for disclosing that the content is AI-generated. We recommend adding a label such as “#AIGenerated” or “Made with AI” when posting these images.
In compliance with the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (740 ILCS 14): (1) we inform you in writing of the specific purpose and the length of term for which your biometric identifier is collected, stored, and used, before collection (§ 15(b)(1)–(2)); (2) we obtain a written release executed via electronic signature before collection (§ 15(b)(3), as amended by SB 2979, P.A. 103-769); (3) we do not sell, lease, trade, or profit from your biometric identifier or biometric information (§ 15(c)); (4) we do not disclose or disseminate biometric data without consent except as described above or as required by law (§ 15(d)); and (5) we protect biometric data using the same or greater standard of care as our other confidential information (§ 15(e)).
To request deletion of your biometric data, use the in-app deletion control, visit our contact page, or email privacy@localpopstudio.com. We will confirm deletion in writing within 10 business days.
