3. How your photo is processed by AI
To create your video, your uploaded photo is sent to our third-party AI provider (Magic Hour), which generates a stadium broadcast image and animates it into a short video. Your photo and the generated media are stored on our infrastructure (Supabase) so we can build and deliver your clip. We use your photo only to provide the Service to you. We do not use your photo to train advertising models, and we do not sell it.

When you provide your phone number, you consent to receive text messages from us about your video. Message and data rates may apply depending on your carrier. We only message you about the moment you created — not marketing blasts. You can opt out at any time by replying STOP to any message, after which we will stop texting you. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
