Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us, such as when you create an account, upload content, or contact us for support. This may include your email address, profile information, and the images or videos you upload for processing.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to provide, maintain, and improve our services, process your transactions, send you technical notices and support messages, and respond to your comments and questions.

3. Data Storage & Security

Your uploaded content is processed securely and stored temporarily for generation purposes. We implement appropriate security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

4. Music, Audio & Content Rights

FIKKU is a motion transfer and video generation platform. Our service applies motion and visual effects to user-uploaded images. We want to make the following clear regarding music and audio content:

• No Music Storage: FIKKU does not store, host, or distribute any music or audio files. Any audio present in generated videos originates from reference videos that are publicly available or provided by third-party AI services.
• Motion Transfer Only: Our core technology transfers motion patterns from reference videos to user photos. We do not create, modify, or distribute copyrighted music content.
• Fair Use & Transformative Works: The videos generated through our platform are transformative in nature, as they create entirely new visual content by applying motion to user-provided images. Any incidental audio is part of the motion reference and is used in a transformative context.
• Third-Party AI Services: We utilize third-party AI video generation services that may include audio in their outputs. These services operate under their own licensing agreements and terms of service.
• User Responsibility: Users are solely responsible for ensuring they have the appropriate rights to use, share, or distribute any content they create using our platform, including any audio that may be present in generated videos.
