We collect as little as we can: your name and email to sign you in, the content you give us to make a deck, and payment records if you buy a plan. We delete uploads as soon as your deck is made and decks after 30 days. We do not sell your data, show ads or use your content to train AI models.
1. Who is responsible for your data
PPTNative is run from the United Kingdom. We are the controller of your personal data under the UK GDPR. Contact us about privacy at [email protected].
2. What we collect
| Data | What it is |
|---|---|
| Account | Your email address, and if you sign in with Google, your name and Google account ID, which Google sends us. We do not receive your Google password, contacts or files, and we do not keep your profile picture or any Google token. If you sign in by email, we keep the request for a sign-in link (the address, time and network address) for one day. |
| Your content | The documents, links, topics and instructions you give us, a deck you upload as a style reference, the outline and the finished deck, and a log of how the deck was made. |
| Payments | If you buy a plan: what you bought, when, the amount, your billing country, and the payment status from Stripe. Stripe collects your card details; we never see or store your full card number. |
| Invitations | If you joined through a friend's invite link: which account invited you, and whether you have finished a first deck (so we can give the bonus decks). If you invite friends, your first name is shown to the people who open your link. |
| Messages | What you write to us by email. |
| Technical | Records our server keeps to run and secure the service, such as the time and address of each page requested. |
| Visit counts | To count visitors without cookies, your IP address and browser type are turned into a one-way code that changes every day and cannot be turned back. We store only the code, deleted within about a day, and daily totals: pages opened, country (provided by Cloudflare) and the name of the site that linked to us. The totals do not identify anyone. |
3. Why we use it, and our legal basis
- To provide PPTNative: signing you in, making and storing your decks, and taking payment. Legal basis: our contract with you.
- To keep the service secure and working: preventing abuse, and recording failed decks so we can fix the cause. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in a safe, reliable service.
- To understand how the service is used: daily visit totals. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in improving the service.
- To keep accounting and tax records of payments. Legal basis: legal obligation.
- To answer you when you contact us. Legal basis: our contract with you, or our legitimate interest in helping you.
We do not sell your data, use it for advertising, or send marketing without your consent. We do not use your content to train AI models.
4. Who processes it for us
We use these services to run PPTNative. Each one receives only what it needs for its task.
| Service | What it does | What it receives | Where |
|---|---|---|---|
| Our hosting company | Runs our server | Everything we store | Bulgaria (EU) |
| Cloudflare | Delivers and protects the website, and stores our encrypted database backups | Your IP address and the pages you request, and a copy of our accounts database encrypted so that Cloudflare cannot read it | Worldwide, including the USA |
| Sign-in with Google | That you are signing in to PPTNative | USA | |
| OpenAI | AI model that reads your content, writes the slides and draws AI illustrations | Your content | USA |
| Anthropic | AI model used when our main AI service is unavailable | Your content | USA |
| Google (Gemini) | Chooses stock photos, and describes the look of a style reference you upload | Short descriptions of the pictures needed, candidate photos, and page images of your style reference | USA |
| Pexels, Pixabay, Openverse, Wikimedia Commons | Stock photo search | Search words only | USA and EU |
| Stripe | Payments | Your payment details and email address | USA, Ireland and the UK |
| Alipay (Ant Group), WeChat Pay (Tenpay) | Payments, when you choose these wallets | The payment amount and the wallet account you pay with | China |
| Google Workspace | Our email, including sign-in emails | Messages you send us, and your address when we email you a sign-in link | USA |
Where data goes outside the UK and the EU, we rely on the safeguards the provider offers, such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or Addendum, the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, or the UK–US data bridge. We may also share data if the law requires it, or to protect our rights or someone's safety.
5. How long we keep it
- Uploaded documents and style references: deleted as soon as your deck (or, for a style reference, its outline) is made. If a deck cannot be made, the upload is kept so you can retry, and is deleted with the deck.
- Decks, outlines and their logs: deleted 30 days after the deck was made, or straight away when you delete the deck.
- Your account: until you delete it on your account page. Our daily backup copies of it are deleted within 7 days.
- Free decks used: a one-way fingerprint of your inbox (not the address itself) and how many free decks it used, kept after your account is deleted, so that the free decks cannot be claimed again.
- Records of failed decks (deck title and what went wrong): deleted after 30 days.
- Payment records: 6 years, as UK tax law requires.
- Technical records on our server: deleted automatically on a rolling basis.
- Visit counts: the daily one-way codes are deleted within about a day; the daily totals after about 13 months.
- Emails to us: as long as needed to deal with your request, and at most 2 years.
6. Cookies
We use only cookies that the site needs to work, so we do not ask for cookie consent. There are no analytics, advertising or tracking cookies; visits are counted without cookies.
| Cookie | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|
| pn_session | Keeps you signed in | 30 days, or until you log out |
| pn_oauth | Links your browser to a Google sign-in in progress | 10 minutes |
| pn_auth | Sign-in with the private beta password | 30 days, or until you log out |
| pn_lang | Remembers the language you chose | 1 year |
| pn_ref | Remembers the friend's invite link you opened, until you sign up | 7 days, or until you sign in |
Cloudflare may set its own security cookie to tell people from bots.
7. Your rights
You can ask us for a copy of your personal data, to correct it, to delete it, to restrict or object to how we use it, or to receive it in a portable form. You can delete your account and all your decks yourself on your account page. To use any other right, email [email protected]; we reply within one month.
If you are not happy with how we handle your data, please tell us. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk, or, in the EU, to the data protection authority where you live.
8. Children
PPTNative is not meant for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
9. Security
All traffic is encrypted (HTTPS). Sign-in sessions are stored only as one-way hashes, decks can be opened only by their owner (and by us when we need to fix a fault), and access to our server is limited to the people who run PPTNative.
10. Changes
If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top, and tell you before changes that matter to you take effect.
