Sticker Bestie — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 19 May 2026

Sticker Bestie ("the app") turns photos, voice, and text prompts into stickers. This policy explains what data the app and its backend handle.

Data the app stores on your device

• Your sticker library — saved locally on your device only. We do not have a copy.
• App preferences and recent prompts — local only.

Data the app sends to our backend

When you generate, edit, or transcribe a sticker, the app sends the following to our servers at stickers-ashishbansals-projects.vercel.app for processing:

• Text prompts you type.
• Photos you choose or capture, when used for sticker generation or editing.
• Short audio clips you record, when you dictate a sticker idea.
• Your IP address — used only for rate limiting to prevent abuse.

We do not require an account, do not collect your name, email, contacts, or location, and do not place advertising or analytics trackers in the app.

Third-party processors

To generate stickers we forward your inputs to the following AI providers, each governed by their own privacy terms:

• Azure OpenAI — image generation and audio transcription.
• xAI — prompt suggestions.
• fal.ai / BiRefNet — background removal.
• Vercel — application hosting.
• Upstash — rate-limit counters keyed by IP.

We do not sell your data. We do not share it for advertising. Inputs are sent solely to fulfil the request you initiated.

Retention

Inputs (prompts, photos, audio) are processed in-memory by our backend and are not persisted on our servers. Rate-limit counters keyed to an IP address expire automatically. Generated images are returned to your device and stored only there.

Children

Sticker Bestie is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from them.

Your choices

• You can deny camera, photo library, and microphone permissions at any time in iOS Settings. The features that depend on them will be unavailable until re-enabled.
• Deleting the app removes your local sticker library and all locally stored preferences.
