Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

CaptionBloom does not require account creation or login. When you use the caption generator, the text you enter (such as a description, platform choice, and tone preference) is sent to our server solely to generate your captions and is not stored after the request completes.

We may collect standard web log data such as your IP address, browser type, and pages visited for the purpose of maintaining service reliability and security. This data is not used to identify individual users.

Image Uploads

If you choose to upload a photo using the optional image feature, that image is sent to our server for the sole purpose of generating captions based on its contents. Uploaded images are processed entirely in memory and are not saved, stored, or retained on our servers in any form after the request is complete.

We do not use uploaded images for any purpose other than generating the captions you requested, and we do not share them with any third parties other than those described in the Third-Party Services section below.

Cookies and Advertising

We may use basic session cookies to maintain website functionality.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to CaptionBloom and/or other sites on the Internet.

Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, users can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

We also use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to coming to this site. We use this information solely to improve our service. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit, rather than your name or other identifying information. You can learn more about how Google uses data at Google's Partner Sites Policy.

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling cookies may affect your experience on CaptionBloom.

• Google Gemini API — to generate captions from your text inputs and uploaded images. Text inputs and images are transmitted to Google's servers for processing. This is subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
• Google AdSense — to display advertisements on our site. AdSense may use cookies and web beacons to collect data for ad personalization. You can learn more at Google's Advertising Policies.
• Google Analytics — to collect anonymous usage statistics about site visitors.

We do not sell, rent, or otherwise share your personal data with any other third parties.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect data transmitted to our service. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of data in transit.

CaptionBloom is a general-purpose tool intended for users aged 13 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
