Last updated: August 25, 2026
1. Introduction
HALCYON-Cinema (“we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our AI-powered cinematic content studio.

When you create an account, we collect:
- Email address

- Password credential, securely hashed where password authentication is used
2.2 Usage Data
We automatically collect:
- Generation history, project activity, and service-usage data associated with your account
- Feature usage patterns

- IP address and general location
2.3 Content Data
When you use our Service, we process:

3. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:

- Ensure compliance with our Terms of Service
- Prevent abuse and maintain security
4. AI Processing and Third Parties
Important: Generation features may send prompts, source materials, and selected settings to third-party AI service providers when needed to fulfill your request. This means:
- Inputs required for a generation request may be transmitted to the selected provider
- Providers process data under their own service terms and privacy commitments
- Generated assets may be stored using service infrastructure so you can access your projects
Avoid submitting sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for the feature you are using.
5. Data Storage and Security
We implement industry-standard security measures including:
- Encryption of sensitive data in transit and at rest
- Secure password hashing using bcrypt
- Regular security audits and updates
- Access controls and monitoring
Browser-local storage is used for preferences and selected draft state. Account-linked projects, generation history, credits, and operational records may be stored in service infrastructure.
6. Data Retention
We retain account, project, billing, security, and operational records for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Service, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and protect the Service. Browser-local preferences remain until you clear them or the application replaces them.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Access your personal data
- Correct inaccurate data
- Delete your data (“right to be forgotten”)
- Export your data in a portable format
- Restrict or object to certain processing
- Withdraw consent at any time
To exercise these rights, please contact us at halcyon@halcyoncinema.com

Our Service is not intended for users under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected data from a child, please contact us immediately.
10. International Data Transfers
Your data may be processed in countries other than your own. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for any international data transfers.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We will notify you of significant changes via email or through the Service. The “Last updated” date at the top indicates when changes were last made.
