Privacy Policy

Last updated October 17, 2026 · Terms of Service

This policy explains what EmoteMaker.ai collects, why, who we share it with and the choices you have. EmoteMaker is run by Andrew Dysart (“we”, “us”), who is responsible for your information. You can reach us at support@emotemaker.ai or by mail at 231 S Bemiston Ave, Ste 850 #346269, Saint Louis, MO 63105, United States.

What we collect

Account details: your name, email address and how you sign in, for example with Google. Sign-in is handled by Clerk.
What you make: your prompts, the images you upload, and the emotes, animations and other images you generate, with their settings.
Purchases: what you bought, when and for how much. Stripe processes payments, and we never see or store your full card number.
Usage: the pages you visit and what you click, your device and browser, your approximate location from your IP address, and how you found us, such as a search engine, a tagged link or a referral link. We collect this with PostHog, Vercel Analytics and our server logs. PostHog may also record sessions to help us find problems.
Email activity: whether our emails are delivered, bounce or are marked as spam, and which email brought you to the site.
Messages you send us.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and your browser’s storage to keep you signed in, remember your drafts and how you found us, measure how the site is used (PostHog and Vercel Analytics), and credit referral partners when you arrive through their links (Rewardful and Trackdesk). You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, but signing in needs them.

How we use it

to run EmoteMaker: your account, generating and storing your images, and your credits and purchases;
to email you about your account and purchases, and to send tips, product news and offers, which you can unsubscribe from at any time;
to understand and improve EmoteMaker, including which pages and emails work;
to prevent fraud and abuse, such as making several accounts to collect free credits;
to pay referral partners;
to meet our legal and tax obligations.

We don’t sell your personal information, and we don’t share it for targeted advertising.

We share information only with the services that help us run EmoteMaker, and only what each one needs:

Clerk, for sign-in and accounts;
Stripe, for payments;
Resend, for sending email;
Vercel, for hosting and analytics;
PostHog, for product analytics;
Convex and PlanetScale, for our databases;
Amazon Web Services and UploadThing, for storing images and uploads;
fal.ai, OpenAI and Replicate, which generate images and animations and receive your prompts and the images you upload or edit;
Rewardful and Trackdesk, for referral tracking;
jsDelivr, which serves some of the site’s icons.

We may also share information when the law requires it, to protect someone’s safety or our rights, or as part of a sale or transfer of EmoteMaker, in which case this policy keeps applying to your information.

Your emotes are private unless you choose to make one public. Public emotes can be seen by anyone on the site.

How long we keep it

We keep your account and what you make for as long as your account is open. If you ask us to delete your account, we delete it and the information tied to it, except records we have to keep for legal, tax or fraud-prevention reasons, such as purchase records, which tax law can require for up to 7 years. Backups and logs can hold copies for a short time after that.

Your choices and rights

Unsubscribe from marketing email with the link in any marketing email.
Ask for a copy of your information, a correction, or deletion of your account by emailing support@emotemaker.ai from your account’s email address. We’ll respond within 30 days.
In the EU, the UK and similar places: we use your information to perform our agreement with you (running your account), for our legitimate interests (analytics, security and emailing account holders about EmoteMaker), with your consent where we ask for it, and to meet legal obligations. You can object to processing based on our legitimate interests, ask us to restrict it, or ask to take your information elsewhere, and you can complain to your local data protection authority.
In California and other US states with privacy laws: you can ask to know what we collect about you, and to access, correct or delete it, and we won’t treat you differently for asking. We don’t sell or share personal information as those laws define it.

Where your information goes

EmoteMaker is run from the United States, and our providers store and process information in the US and other countries. Where the law requires it, these transfers rely on safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

Children

EmoteMaker isn’t for children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect their information. If you think a child under 13 has given us information, email support@emotemaker.ai and we’ll delete it.

Security

We encrypt information in transit, limit who can access it and use providers with strong security practices. No system is perfectly secure, so we can’t guarantee your information will never be exposed.

Changes to this policy

We’ll post any changes here and update the date at the top. If a change is significant, we’ll also tell you by email or on the site. Our Terms of Service explain the rest of how EmoteMaker works.
