80s Who operates the service
80s Photo is operated by Retro80 Studio. Privacy questions and data requests may be sent to support@80sphoto.org.
Optional Google sign-in
When enabled, Google Identity Services loads to offer a sign-in prompt. You can dismiss it and use the guest trial. If you choose to sign in, we receive the Google account information needed for your account, such as your name, email and profile image. Google also handles the sign-in interaction under its own privacy terms.
Your photo stays local until you generate
Choosing a file creates a preview in your browser. The file is sent only when you start a generation. Removing a selected photo clears the preview; it does not delete a file already sent for an earlier generation.
Who processes the image
We store your reference privately and send it to our configured image-generation provider, KIE or fal, to create the portrait. The provider receives the image and editing instructions. Its own processing and retention terms also apply. See KIE privacy information andfal privacy information.
Content safety
Before generation, the text prompt and editing instructions are sent to Waffo Prompt Sift for a content-safety decision. Waffo states that this scan is stateless and does not retain the original prompt after returning its decision. We retain redacted decision metadata, such as the request identifier and result, for security, support and compliance. KIE, fal.ai and the underlying model may also process requests and outputs through their safety systems.
Payments
When you buy credits, Waffo Pancake processes checkout as merchant of record. We send the account identifier, email address, selected product and order metadata needed to complete and reconcile the purchase. We do not receive or store your full payment-card number.
Storage and downloads
Reference files and saved results are not added to a public gallery. Access to saved files requires the studio session that created them or the owning account. Temporary provider result links may be used while we save a result. Download your portrait promptly. A guest session lasts up to 24 hours; this is an access period, not a guarantee that stored copies are deleted when the session ends. Stored images remain private and are set to expire automatically 30 days after they are saved, or sooner if a valid deletion request removes them. Provider retention is separate.
Trial limits and browser data
An essential signed cookie identifies your studio session. We retain a daily keyed hash of your connection address to limit free trials; the trial table does not store the raw address. Your browser stores a generation identifier so a refresh can recover the result. We do not place your photo or prompt in page URLs.
Use photos with permission
Get permission from everyone pictured. Avoid photos containing documents, addresses or other sensitive details. If you prefer not to send a face image to a generation provider, you can browse and copy the prompts without uploading anything.
Your choices and contact
You may request access, correction or deletion of account information and stored images by emailing support@80sphoto.org. We may retain payment, security and compliance records when required by law or needed to prevent abuse and resolve disputes.
