1. Information We Collect

We collect only the minimum information required to operate the platform.

a. Account Information

When you sign up, a generation wallet is automatically created for you.

We collect:

  • Public wallet address
  • USDC on-chain transaction history associated with ByLana usage
  • Payment events triggered via X402 (success/refund status)

We never request, store, or have access to private keys or seed phrases.

c. Usage & Activity Data

To improve your experience, we may collect:

  • Prompts + generated image metadata (not the personal meaning of prompts)
  • Interaction logs (buttons clicked, model chosen, image generation history)
  • Device info, browser type, IP (used only for security and analytics)

d. Optional data

If you choose to publish content or participate in community features, we may store:

We use the collected data to:

  • Operate the platform and deliver image generation
  • Process payments via USDC/X402
  • Improve model quality and platform performance
  • Provide customer support
  • Prevent abuse, fraud, or malicious use
  • Analyze usage patterns (anonymized analytics)

We do not sell your data.
We do not train AI models on private prompts or images tied to your identity.

3. Ownership of Generated Content

You own the images you create, subject to model and legal restrictions.

By using the Service, you grant ByLana a limited license to:

  • Store the generated image
  • Display it back to you
  • Use anonymized results internally to improve AI performance

We do not publish or share your content without your consent.

4. Payments & Wallet Security

  • Payments are made in USDC using the X402 protocol
  • When you click Generate:
    • payment executes automatically
    • if generation fails, payment is refunded automatically
  • You retain full control over your funds.
  • ByLana does not touch or manage private keys.

5. Cookies & Analytics

We may use:

  • Minimal cookies to maintain session state
  • Privacy-focused analytics (e.g., IP city-level, not exact address)

No tracking cookies or third-party marketing cookies are used.

6. Sharing of Data

We may share minimal data only with:

  • Blockchain networks (public ledger of payments)
  • Service providers (hosting, analytics, logging)
  • Legal authorities (only if required by law)

We do not sell or rent data to advertisers.

7. Data Retention

We keep data only as long as necessary to:

  • Operate your account
  • Comply with legal obligations
  • Prevent fraud or platform abuse

You may request deletion of your account and data at any time (see Section 9).

8. Security

We use industry-standard security practices, including:

  • Encrypted network communication (HTTPS)
  • Tokenized session management
  • No private key storage, access, or request

However, no online system is 100% secure.
Users are responsible for securing their own wallets and devices.

9. Your Rights

You may:

  • Request access to your data
  • Request deletion of your data
