Privacy Policy

Your First Time in a Fancy Cafe AI operates the Service at yourfirsttimeinafancycafeai.org. We turn the photos you upload into a short AI-generated parody video of the "POV: Your first time in a fancy cafe" meme, with you, and optionally a friend, in place of one or both people in the clip.

Questions about this Policy, or requests to access or delete your data, can be sent to support@yourfirsttimeinafancycafeai.org.

You can browse the site without an account. Generating a video requires signing in. If you sign in with Google, we receive the account details Google shares with us.

• Photos you submit for a video: photos of yourself, other consenting adults, or permitted pet references. You must have the rights to use each photo. Your browser resizes photos and strips location metadata before upload.
• Your choices in the studio, such as the video resolution.
• Generated videos created from your photo.
• Technical request data from our host, which can include IP address, browser type, device type, pages requested, and timestamps.
• The content of emails you send to support@yourfirsttimeinafancycafeai.org, if you contact us — including a report you send us about content or an account that breaks our content standards.
• If you sign in with Google: your Google account name, email address, and profile photo, plus a session cookie so you stay signed in.
• If you use email sign-in: your email address, account display name and a salted password hash. We do not store your plain-text password.
• If you buy credits: the chosen pack, payment and refund status, order and transaction references, and customer or billing details returned by the payment provider. Full card details are handled by the selected provider’s hosted checkout. Our application does not store full card details.

We use this information to:

• Generate the videos you request.
• Store generated results, and briefly hold uploads, so we can operate the Service for you.
• Keep the Service working, secure, and protected against abuse.
• Review reports of prohibited content, and enforce the content standards in our Terms of Service. A review may require access to the uploads and results attached to a reported or flagged account.
• Respond if you email us.
• Keep you signed in if you choose Google sign-in.
• Fulfill credit purchases after payment confirmation.

Your photo is used to create the video you request. We do not use your photos to train AI models, build a face-recognition system, verify your identity, or sell a profile of you.

To create your video, we send processed photos to APIMart for reference approval and video generation, together with our reference clip, fixed instructions and your selected quality. APIMart and its underlying model providers process these materials for that request. Their own privacy and retention terms also apply.

That model applies its own safety filters to every request, which means the prompt and image are checked against the provider's content rules before a result is returned. A request that trips those filters fails and returns no video. We can see that a request was refused, and repeated refusals may lead us to review the account under our Terms of Service.

When Creem content screening is connected, we send the fixed generation instructions and an internal account/request reference to its prompt-screening service before model submission. That prompt-screening request does not include your photo file. A blocked request does not proceed to paid video generation.

Generated videos are synthetic. They show motion the person in the photo never performed.

Photos selected in the studio are saved as drafts in this browser so they survive sign-in and reloads. They stay on this device until you remove them from the studio or clear this site’s browser data. Signing out alone does not clear these local drafts.

When you submit a generation request, we temporarily store the processed upload privately for about 24 hours. Removing a browser draft does not immediately remove an upload already submitted. Our AI provider receives a temporary link to the relevant upload; these provider links expire within at most one hour and are not public gallery links.

At upload expiry, we remove our stored photo and request deletion of approved provider reference assets. If the provider’s response is unclear, we keep a cleanup record and retry reconciliation instead of assuming deletion succeeded. We cannot guarantee that every upstream copy is deleted on an exact 24-hour schedule; provider-held copies remain subject to the provider’s own retention terms.

Finished videos are stored privately for your account until the expiry shown in “My videos”, 14 days from the generation request. Viewing or downloading our stored result requires your signed-in account; knowing its URL alone does not grant access. Download any video you want to keep. Copies you download or share are outside our account storage and may be viewed by the people you share them with.

You can delete a finished video from “My videos” to remove it from your history and remove our stored result, or contact support@yourfirsttimeinafancycafeai.org for a deletion request. Our account-storage period does not promise the same retention or deletion timing for the provider’s processing or temporary result copies. We do not sell your photos.

We share information only as needed to run the Service or as required by law.

• Cloudflare, which hosts the website, account database, private uploaded photos and finished videos.
• Google, to provide Google sign-in and share your account name, email address and profile photo when you choose that sign-in method.
• APIMart and its underlying AI model providers, to approve photo references and generate the requested video.
• Creem, to handle checkout and related payment records when you choose its available checkout, and to screen generation instructions when its content-screening service is connected.
• Waffo, to handle checkout and related payment, refund and billing records when you choose its available checkout.
• Professional advisers or authorities if we must disclose information to comply with law, enforce these terms, or protect rights and safety.
• A buyer or successor if we transfer the Service in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

We use a strictly necessary session cookie to keep you signed in and infrastructure request data to operate and secure the Service. We do not currently use advertising, analytics, or session-replay cookies.

If you sign in, we set a strictly necessary session cookie (HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax) so we can recognize you. Our host may also use cookies needed to deliver pages and keep the Service secure. You can block cookies in your browser. Sign-in will not work if you block the session cookie.

You can browse without creating an account. Generating a video requires signing in. You can sign out from the account menu whether you joined with Google or email. To delete your account or the profile data we stored, email support@yourfirsttimeinafancycafeai.org. Remove local photo drafts from the studio or clear this site’s browser data separately.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of personal data we hold, or to object to certain processing. Email support@yourfirsttimeinafancycafeai.org and tell us what you need. We may ask you for enough information to find the relevant files, such as an approximate time you used the tool or a copy of the image.

If we cannot identify your data (for example, because you did not give us an email and we only have an image), we will tell you what we need in order to help.

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has uploaded a photo, email support@yourfirsttimeinafancycafeai.org and we will delete it.

We and our providers may process information in the United States and other countries. Those places may have different data-protection laws than your own. We share photos with providers only to generate the video you requested or to host the Service.

We use measures such as signed-in account access for stored results, expiring provider upload links, private storage and removal of location metadata in your browser before upload. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

We may update this Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date on this page.
