Picsart's policy is detailed on what it collects and who it shares with, but it never addresses whether user images train its models, it takes a perpetual sublicensable licence over content, and its clearest user rights and transfer safeguards are written for EU and UK residents only.

What Picsart's privacy policy and terms of service say about your data

Perpetual content licence

Uploading content grants Picsart a worldwide, sublicensable, transferable and perpetual licence to host, reproduce, distribute and create derivative works from it, and content shared publicly may remain on the service in perpetuity even after deletion.

Nothing on model training

Neither the privacy policy nor the terms say whether uploaded images, face-geometry scans or edits are used to train AI models, and no opt-out is offered.

Face geometry is scanned

Applying effects to or generating images of a face causes Picsart to scan face geometry, which it calls biometric data, with no stated limit on how that data is used or how long it is kept.

Key rights are EU and UK only

Portability, correction and the standard contractual clauses for international transfers appear under a section addressed to EU and UK residents, so the version most users get names no transfer safeguard.

What the policy is silent or vague on

Not stated: keeping user inputs out of model training
Not stated: a way to opt out of training
Not stated: whether training use differs by plan
Not stated: your ownership of generated outputs
