Privacy Policy

What we collect, why, who processes it and how to delete it

2026/11/02

This policy explains what CaughtTheMagic collects when you use caughtthemagic.com, why we collect it, and how you can delete it. Questions go to support@caughtthemagic.com.

What we collect

  • Account details: your name, email address and password (stored as a secure hash). If you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address and profile picture from Google.
  • Room photos you upload: the photo of a room you want Santa added to. Please upload rooms only. You confirm before every upload that the photo shows no people.
  • Results we make for you: the Santa photos and videos generated from your room photos.
  • Purchases: which credit pack you bought, when, and the amount. Card details are handled by Stripe and never reach our servers.
  • Usage and device data: pages visited, browser type and approximate location from your IP address, collected through server logs and analytics tools.

How we use it

  • To make your Santa photos and videos and show them in your account.
  • To run your account, sign you in, and keep your credit balance.
  • To process payments, refunds and receipts.
  • To answer support requests and send account emails such as email verification and password resets.
  • To keep the service secure and prevent abuse, such as repeated free sign-ups.
  • To understand how the site is used so we can improve it.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your room photos or results to train AI models.

Who processes your data

We use these providers to run the service. Each receives only what it needs.

How long we keep it

  • Room photos are deleted 30 days after upload.
  • Results stay in your account until you delete your account, so you can download them again.
  • Account and purchase records are kept while your account exists. We keep payment records longer when tax or accounting law requires it.

Files are stored at unlisted links that are hard to guess and only shown in your account. Anyone you share such a link with can open it.

Your choices

  • Delete your account in Settings → Security. This deletes your account, your credit balance, your room photos and your results.
  • Get a copy or correct your data by emailing support@caughtthemagic.com.
  • Cookies: see our Cookie Policy.

Depending on where you live (for example California, the EU or the UK), you may have further rights to access, correct, delete or port your data, or to object to processing. Email us and we will respond within 30 days.

Children

CaughtTheMagic is for adults. You must be 18 or older to create an account. The service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. Please do not upload photos that show children or any other people. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes

We will post any changes on this page and update the date above. If a change is significant, we will tell account holders by email.
