Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

Short version: We only collect what we need to run the service. We don't sell your data to anyone. Content you submit is used only to generate your slides.

1. Data We Collect

DataSourcePurpose
Name & email Google Sign-In (if you log in) Identifying your account, displaying your name in the UI
Profile picture Google Sign-In (if you log in) Shown in the header as your avatar
Slide content (text input) You type or upload it Sent to AI to generate your slides — not stored after the deck is complete, except as part of the deck file itself
Generated deck files (PNG, PDF) Generated by our system Stored temporarily so you can download; deleted automatically after 12 hours
Anonymous usage data Interactions on the site (clicks, pages visited) Understanding how people use Slayde so we can improve it
IP address Requests to our server Rate limiting & security; not linked to personal identity

2. Data We Do Not Collect

3. Third-Party Services

Slayde uses a small number of external services to operate:

ServicePurposePrivacy Policy
Gemini API Structuring content, OCR, generating slide images policies.google.com/privacy
Google Sign-In (OAuth 2.0) Account authentication policies.google.com/privacy
PostHog Anonymous usage analytics posthog.com/privacy
Stripe Payment processing stripe.com/privacy

Your content is sent to the Gemini API in three independent calls: first to structure your content into a slide outline, second to extract text from any images (OCR), and third to generate the visual for each slide. These calls are separate and not linked outside of Slayde's system. The API has its own privacy policy — we recommend reading it if you plan to submit sensitive information.

4. Cookies & Local Storage

We use a session cookie to keep you signed in. This cookie is cleared when you log out. We do not use third-party tracking cookies for advertising.

Your browser stores small preferences (such as the last style you selected) in localStorage — this is never sent to our servers.

5. Data Retention & Deletion

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

To exercise these rights, email us at [email protected]. We will respond within 7 business days.

7. Data Security

We use HTTPS for all communication between your browser and our servers. The database is hosted on a server with restricted access. Deck files are stored temporarily on the same server and deleted automatically.

While we take reasonable security measures, no system is 100% secure. Please do not submit highly sensitive or confidential information through Slayde's text input.

8. Children

Slayde is not intended for users under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you believe we hold data from a child, please contact us immediately.

9. Policy Changes

If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you via email (if you are signed in) or a banner on the site at least 7 days before the change takes effect.
