Privacy Policy
How MemeHatch collects, uses, stores and shares your information, and the choices you have.
Last updated: November 3, 2026
In short: we collect your email, the photos you upload and the videos we make. Your photo is sent to our AI providers to check it and make your video. We don’t sell your data, we don’t use your photos to train AI, and you can ask us to delete everything at any time.
1. Who is responsible
Lin Weixing, an individual based in mainland China, runs MemeHatch and is responsible for your information. For any privacy question or request, email support@memehatch.app.
2. What we collect
- Account information: your email address and when you signed in. If you sign in with Google, Google also shares your name and profile picture with us; we don’t use them for anything else.
- Photos you upload and the videos we make from them.
- Order information: order number, status, price, payment status and the order and session IDs from our payment provider. We never receive your full card number.
- Messages you send us, for example by email.
- Technical information: IP address, browser type and request logs kept by our hosting providers to run and protect the service.
We use only the cookies needed to keep you signed in and to return you to the right page after signing in. We don’t use analytics or advertising cookies.
3. How we use it
| Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Signing you in, checking your photo, making, storing and delivering your video | Performing our contract with you |
| Processing payments and refunds, and keeping order records | Contract; legal obligations |
| Answering support requests and reports | Contract; legitimate interests |
| Preventing fraud and abuse, and keeping the service secure | Legitimate interests |
We don’t send marketing emails. We send only the emails needed to sign you in and to deal with your orders and requests.
4. How your photo is handled
When you choose a photo, it is uploaded to private storage in your account. We convert it to a JPEG and remove its metadata, such as location. A smaller copy is then sent to Google Gemini 2.5 Flash, through fal.ai and OpenRouter, to check that it shows a pet and no people. If the check fails, the photo is deleted right away.
After you pay, the photo is sent through fal.ai to Kling 2.5 Turbo Pro by Kuaishou to make your video. The finished video is copied to private storage in your account. Before you can see it, fal.ai takes three still frames from it, and the same model checks them through OpenRouter. Only you can open it, through links that expire after 10 minutes.
We keep the result of each check (for example “passed” or “person found”) with your order, so we can handle reports and appeals. We don’t keep rejected photos or videos.
Our AI providers process photos to provide their service to us, under their own terms, and may keep temporary copies. We don’t use your photos or videos to train AI models, and we don’t publish them.
5. Who we share it with
We don’t sell your personal information, including as “sale” is defined under laws such as the CCPA. We share it only with the service providers that run MemeHatch for us:
| Provider | What they do | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase | Sign-in, database and file storage (United States) | Email, photos, videos, order records |
| Vercel | Website hosting (United States) | Requests and technical logs |
| fal.ai | Runs the AI models | Photos and the resulting videos |
| Kuaishou (Kling), via fal.ai | Makes the video | Your photo after payment |
| OpenRouter and Google (Gemini), via fal.ai | Checks the photo and the finished video | A smaller copy of your photo; three still frames from the video |
| Resend | Sends sign-in codes by email | Your email address |
| Google (Sign in with Google) | Optional sign-in | Your sign-in request; Google then shares your name, email and profile picture with us |
| Waffo Pancake | Reseller and merchant of record: checkout, tax, receipts, refunds | Email, order and payment details |
Waffo Pancake processes your card details on its own PCI-DSS certified checkout; they never reach our servers. We may also disclose information if the law requires it, to protect people from harm, or as part of a sale or reorganization of the business, in which case this policy continues to apply.
6. How long we keep it
| Information | How long |
|---|---|
| Photos and videos | Until you ask us to delete them or close your account. This includes photos uploaded for orders you didn’t pay for. Photos rejected by the check are deleted straight away. |
| Account information | Until you close your account. |
| Order records | As long as tax and accounting laws require, even after your account is closed. |
| Support emails | As long as needed to answer you and keep a record of your request. |
| Technical logs | A short period set by our hosting providers, usually no more than a few days. |
7. Your rights
You can ask us to show you, correct, delete or send you a copy of your information, or object to how we use it. Email support@memehatch.app from the address you sign in with, so we can confirm it’s you. We reply within 30 days. Depending on where you live, you can also complain to your local data protection authority.
8. Security
We use HTTPS, private storage, links that expire and access controls that limit who can reach your data. No system is perfectly secure. If a breach affects your information, we’ll tell you and the authorities as the law requires.
9. International transfers
We store your information in the United States. Some providers, including the makers of the AI models, may process it in other countries. Where the law requires, we rely on safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.
10. Children
MemeHatch is for people aged 18 and over. We don’t knowingly collect information from children. If you think a child has given us information, email support@memehatch.app and we’ll delete it.
11. Changes to this policy
We’ll post any changes on this page with a new date. For important changes, we’ll email you at least 14 days before they take effect.
