This Privacy Policy explains how ARIA
("ARIA," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you use the ARIA
application at aria-ai.online (the "Service").
1. Age Requirement
ARIA is intended solely for users who are 18 years of age or older. The Service may
generate mature, adult-oriented content and is not appropriate for minors. By creating an account,
you represent and confirm that you are at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your
jurisdiction, if higher). We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under this age, and
will delete any account found to belong to a minor upon discovery.
2. Information We Collect
Account information
- Email address (via email/password signup or Google Sign-In)
- Password (never stored in plain text — handled entirely by Firebase Authentication)
- Basic Google profile information, if you sign in with Google
Content you create
- Character profiles you create (name, personality, appearance selections)
- Chat messages and conversation history
- Images and videos generated through the Service
- Uploaded photos, if you upload a custom avatar
Payment information
- Top-up amounts and transaction records
-
Cryptocurrency payment details processed through our payment provider, NOWPayments — we do not
directly collect or store your wallet's private keys or full payment credentials; payment
processing is handled by NOWPayments under its own
privacy policy
Technical and usage information
- IP address (used for basic abuse prevention, such as limiting how many accounts can be created from the same network)
- Browser and device type
- Usage analytics via Google Analytics (page views, feature usage, signup trends)
- Log data related to error monitoring and service reliability
3. How We Use Your Information
- To provide, operate, and maintain the Service
- To process your requests and generate the content you ask for
- To manage your account balance and process top-up payments
- To send account-related emails, such as email verification and password reset
- To detect, prevent, and investigate fraud, abuse, and violations of our Terms of Service
- To send service announcements and updates
- To analyze and improve the Service through aggregated usage data
4. How We Share Information
We share information with the following categories of third-party service providers, only as necessary to operate the Service:
- Firebase (Google) — authentication, database, and file storage
- xAI — processes your chat messages to generate AI responses
- WaveSpeed — processes prompts and reference images to generate images and video
- NOWPayments — processes cryptocurrency payments for account top-ups
- Google Analytics — aggregated, anonymized usage analytics
- Giphy and YouTube — if you trigger a GIF or video search within a conversation
We do not sell your personal information. We may disclose information if required by law, to protect
the rights and safety of ARIA or its users, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of
assets.
5. Data Retention
We retain your account information and generated content for as long as your account remains active.
If you delete your account, we will delete your associated data within a reasonable period, except
where retention is required for legal, tax, or fraud-prevention purposes (such as payment records).
6. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion of your account and associated data
- Object to or restrict certain processing of your information
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at
[your-support-email].
7. Security
We use industry-standard measures — including encrypted connections, Firebase's security
infrastructure, and access controls — to protect your information. No method of transmission or
storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies and browser storage to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and collect
analytics data through Google Analytics. You can control cookies through your browser settings,
though disabling them may affect Service functionality.
9. International Users
ARIA is operated from the United States. If you access the
Service from outside this jurisdiction, your information may be transferred to, stored, and
processed in a location with different data protection laws than your own.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will update the "Last updated" date above
when changes are made. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance
of the revised policy.
