Version 2026-08-21 — effective as of September 1, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Trakto collects, uses, shares and protects personal data when you use the trakto.studio platform, our websites, the API, the MCP server, Trakto Links and our customer service channels (together, the "Platform").
It was written to comply, at the same time, with the LGPD (Brazilian General Data Protection Law, Law 13,709/2018), the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union and the United Kingdom (GDPR and UK GDPR), the California privacy law (CCPA/CPRA) and the Canadian law (PIPEDA). Sections 11 to 14 provide information specific to each regime. In the event of conflict, the rule most protective of you applies.
Summary of what matters:
- Your documents, uploads, prompts, generated images/videos and brand kits are not used to train AI models — not by us, and not by the AI providers we use.
- We do not sell your personal data.
- Card data stays with Stripe; Trakto does not store it.
- Analytics and marketing only with your consent where the law requires it (EU/UK/Canada) and with an opt-out option in other regions.
- You can access, correct, export and delete your data at any time.
1. Who the controller is
1.1. The controller of the personal data processed in the context of this Policy is Blob Animação Gráfica Interativa Ltda., CNPJ (Brazilian corporate taxpayer registry) 05.196.991/0001-43, with its principal place of business at Avenida Álvaro Otacílio, 3731, Bloco Espanha – Edf. JTR, Sala 602, Jatiúca, Maceió/AL, 57036-850, Brazil ("Trakto", "we", "us").
1.2. Data Protection Officer (DPO). Our officer in charge of personal data processing, under art. 41 of the LGPD and art. 37 of the GDPR, can be contacted at dpo@trakto.io (Data Protection Officer: Diogo Nobre).
2. Scope and roles: when we are controller and when we are processor
2.1. We are the controller of the personal data of those who create an account, visit our websites, interact with our customer service or receive our communications. This Policy deals mainly with these situations.
2.2. We are the processor in relation to third-party personal data that you enter into your content — for example, photos of your agency's clients, names in a presentation, product spreadsheets with buyer data. In these cases, you (or the organization you represent) are the controller, and the processing follows your instructions, in accordance with the Data Processing Addendum. If you are a data subject whose data appeared in a design created by a Trakto customer, direct your request to that customer; we will help as needed.
2.3. Visitors to Trakto Links. When you view a Trakto Link published by a user, Trakto collects basic technical data and view metrics (Section 3.5) as controller for security purposes and as processor to provide statistics to the user who published it.
3. What data we collect
3.1. Data you provide to us
- Sign-up and profile: name, e-mail, password (stored as a hash), profile photo, language, country, job title and company (optional), identity provider data (such as Google) when you choose that login method.
- Billing data: name, billing address, CPF/CNPJ (Brazilian taxpayer IDs) or tax identification where required, purchase history, subscribed plan. Card data is collected and stored directly by Stripe; Trakto receives only an identifier, the last four digits, the card brand and the expiration date.
- Content: documents, uploads (images, videos, audio, fonts, PDFs, spreadsheets), text, prompts sent to the AI features, generated outputs, brand kits, comments and version history.
- Communications: messages sent to support, survey responses, participation in beta programs.
- Team data: names and e-mail addresses of people you invite to your workspace.
3.2. Data collected automatically
- Usage data: features used, actions in the editor, AI models invoked, credits consumed, documents created, dates and times.
- Technical data: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, screen resolution, device language, session identifiers, referring pages.
- Security and diagnostic logs: authentication records, application errors (via Sentry), latency, render failures.
- Cookies and similar technologies: as described in the Cookies Policy.
3.3. Data from third parties
- Identity providers: when you sign in with Google, we receive your name, e-mail and photo, according to the permissions you grant.
- Integrations you connect: when you connect external accounts (for example, social networks for publishing or file import), we receive the data you authorize.
- Business partners: on Enterprise plans, we may receive contact data of representatives of the contracting organization.
3.4. Sensitive data
Trakto does not request sensitive data (racial origin, religious beliefs, political opinions, health data, biometric data, sexual orientation). If you include such data in your content, you do so at your own responsibility, as controller, and must have a legal basis for it. Photos of faces are processed only as images, for rendering and for the features you invoke; we do not create biometric identification models.
3.5. Visitors to Trakto Links
When you open a Trakto Link, we collect IP address (truncated after initial processing), approximate country/region, device and browser type, referrer, date and time and interaction events (views, clicks, time on page). This data is used for security, abuse prevention and to provide aggregated statistics to the user who published the link.
4. What we use the data for and on what legal basis
| Purpose | Data | Legal basis (LGPD) | Legal basis (GDPR) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Create and manage your account, authenticate, provide the service | Sign-up, content, usage | Performance of a contract (art. 7, V) | Performance of a contract (art. 6(1)(b)) |

What we do NOT do: we do not use your content, prompts or outputs to train AI models; we do not make automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects on you without human review; we do not sell personal data; we do not profile you for advertising purposes based on your content.
5. Artificial intelligence and your data
5.1. No-training commitment. Documents, uploads, prompts, generated images, videos and audio, and brand kits are not used to train, fine-tune, evaluate or improve AI models, whether by Trakto or by the AI providers.
5.2. How we use the providers. To deliver AI features, Trakto sends your prompts and, when necessary, the reference content (for example, an image for background removal) to AI providers through commercial APIs. These providers are contracted exclusively under commercial regimes that prohibit the use of the data for training and limit retention to the time needed to process the request, prevent abuse and comply with the law. The current providers are:
| Provider | Features | Contractual regime | Processing location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Cloud Vertex AI / Gemini API (paid tier) | Text, image and video generation, visual analysis | Google Cloud enterprise terms: no use for training; no retention of prompts for product improvement on the paid tier | us-central1 (Iowa, USA) |
| fal.ai | Image and video generation and editing (various models) | Commercial API with no-training policy and limited retention USA; no retention of inputs/outputs for training (API use) | USA |
| OpenAI API | Text generation, analysis, in-editor assistance | OpenAI API: data not used for training by default; retention of up to 30 days for abuse monitoring, unless zero data retention is approved (when arranged for the account) | USA |
| ElevenLabs | Voice synthesis and narration | Enterprise API: no training on customer data API use under the provider's commercial terms and standard DPA (no retention for training) | USA |
| Cutout.pro | Background removal and image processing | Commercial API uploaded images are deleted automatically after processing (face-editing data within 24–48 h) and used solely to provide the service, per the vendor's privacy policy; no use for training | Hong Kong (China) |
5.3. Proprietary models and heuristics. Some features (such as the auto-animation engine and the layout solver) run on Trakto's own deterministic logic, without sending data to third parties.
5.4. Moderation. Prompts and outputs may go through automated safety classifiers (Trakto's or the providers') to detect content prohibited by the AI Acceptable Use Policy. Flagged content may be reviewed by members of the Trakto team, under confidentiality and restricted access, exclusively for moderation and security purposes.
5.5. Voice cloning and use of faces. Features that use a real person's voice or face require you to declare that you have that person's consent. Voice samples submitted for cloning are treated as your content, are not used to train general models and can be deleted at any time. voice cloning is not available on the Platform
6. Who we share data with
We share personal data only in the cases below, always limited to the minimum necessary.
6.1. Sub-processors. Companies that process data on our behalf, under contracts with obligations of confidentiality, security and no use for their own purposes:
| Category | Vendor | Purpose | Country |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cloud infrastructure, storage, rendering | Google Cloud Platform | Platform hosting, file storage, processing | us-central1 (Iowa, USA) |
| Database | MongoDB Atlas | Storage of account data, documents and metadata | us-east-2 (Ohio, USA) — AWS |
| Payments | Stripe | Payment processing, recurring billing, fraud prevention, issuance of receipts | USA (with local entities) |
| Transactional e-mail | Postmark | Sending account, security and billing e-mails | USA |
| Customer communication | Customer.io | Onboarding, news and marketing e-mails; in-app messages | USA |
| Product analytics | PostHog, Mixpanel, Google Analytics | Usage and performance measurement (subject to consent where required) | US Cloud; USA; USA |
| Error monitoring | Sentry | Error logging and diagnostics | USA |
| Real-time collaboration | Liveblocks | Synchronization of simultaneous editing, presence and comments | USA |
| AI providers | See Section 5.2 | Running AI features | See Section 5.2 |
| Support and customer service | not used (e-mail support) | Customer service |
The current list of sub-processors, with prior notice of changes, is maintained in Annex III of the Data Processing Addendum.
6.2. Members of your workspace. If you take part in a team workspace, your name, e-mail, photo and activity in shared documents are visible to the other members and to the administrator.
6.3. Public. Content you publish to Trakto Links, templates you make public and your public profile (if any) are accessible to third parties, according to your settings.
6.4. Authorities and legal obligations. We may share data when required by law, court order or competent authority, or to protect the rights, safety and property of Trakto, its users or third parties. We assess each request and, when possible and permitted, notify you.
6.5. Corporate transactions. In the event of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, data may be transferred to the successor, which will be bound by this Policy. We will notify you before your data becomes governed by a different policy.
6.6. We do not sell personal data and do not share it for third-party behavioral advertising without your consent (see Section 13 for the definition of "sale" and "sharing" under the CCPA/CPRA).
7. International transfers
7.1. Trakto is headquartered in Brazil and uses infrastructure and vendors located mainly in the United States in the USA only. Your data may therefore be transferred to and processed outside your country.
7.2. From Brazil abroad (LGPD, arts. 33 to 36). We base transfers on standard contractual clauses approved by the ANPD (Brazilian National Data Protection Authority) (Resolution CD/ANPD No. 19/2024) or on another recognized mechanism, in addition to contractual guarantees that recipients apply a standard of protection compatible with the LGPD.
7.3. From the EU/UK to outside the EEA/UK. We use the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (Decision 2021/914), the UK Addendum (or the IDTA), and transfer impact assessments. Where the vendor is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, we also rely on that certification. Copies of the mechanisms may be requested from the DPO.
7.4. From Canada. We inform you that data may be processed outside Canada and be subject to the laws of the countries where it is located, including access by local authorities in accordance with applicable law.
8. How long we keep the data
| Category | Retention | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Account data (sign-up, profile) | For as long as the account exists + 30 days after deletion | Grace period to reverse accidental deletion |
| Content (documents, uploads, outputs, brand kits) | For as long as the account exists; after cancellation of a paid plan, kept in read-only mode with no set time limit for as long as the account is active; after account deletion, removed within 30 days, and from backups within an additional 30 days | Downgrading never deletes content |
| Prompts sent to AI providers | Not stored by the providers beyond processing (see Section 5.2); at Trakto, the prompt history is associated with the document/generation and follows the content retention period | |
| Application and security logs | 90 days; authentication and access logs up to 12 months | May be kept longer during an incident investigation |
| Error logs (Sentry) | 90 days | |
| Billing and tax data | 5 years after the last transaction (Brazil: tax and Consumer Protection Code (CDC) limitation periods; other jurisdictions according to the local statutory period) | Card data stays with Stripe, in accordance with its policy |
| Analytics data | 14 months for GA4; 12 months for PostHog/Mixpanel | Aggregates may be kept indefinitely |
| Support communications | 24 months after the support case is closed | |
| Trakto Links metrics | Full IP: discarded after geolocation; aggregated events: for as long as the link exists | |
| Content flagged by moderation | Until the review is completed and for up to 12 months as evidence of repeat offenses, or as required by law (child abuse reports follow specific statutory periods) | |
| Consent records (cookies, marketing) | 5 years | To demonstrate compliance |
After these periods, the data is deleted or irreversibly anonymized. We may keep data longer if necessary to comply with a legal obligation, to exercise rights in judicial or administrative proceedings, or in the event of a hold ordered by an authority.
9. How we protect the data
We adopt technical and organizational measures proportionate to the risk, including: encryption in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest; role-based access control and the principle of least privilege; strong authentication for the team; environment segregation; audit logs; regular backups with restore testing; vulnerability management; code review; and contracts with security obligations with all sub-processors. Annex II of the Data Processing Addendum describes the measures in detail.
No system is 100% secure. If a security incident occurs that may cause relevant risk or harm to you, we will notify you and the competent authorities within the statutory deadlines (in Brazil, in accordance with Resolution CD/ANPD No. 15/2024; in the EU/UK, within 72 hours to the supervisory authority where applicable).
10. Your rights
Regardless of where you are, you can:
- Access the data we hold about you and obtain a copy;
- Correct incomplete, inaccurate or outdated data;
- Delete your data and your account;
- Export your data in a structured, commonly used format (portability);
- Restrict or object to certain processing, especially processing based on legitimate interest;
- Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing;
- Not be discriminated against for exercising your rights;
- Lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.
How to exercise them. Much of this can be done directly in the account settings (edit profile, export, delete account, manage e-mail and cookie preferences). For other requests, write to dpo@trakto.io. We respond within 15 days (LGPD) or 30 days (GDPR/CCPA/PIPEDA), extendable where the law permits, in which case we will notify you.
