Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to PicGallery. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our platform as a studio owner, photographer, or a client viewing and interacting with photo galleries.

2. Data We Collect

To provide our specialized studio and client workspace, we collect the following types of information:

• Account Information: Name, email address, and billing details (for studios on paid plans).
• User Content: High-resolution photographs, gallery structures, and client feedback (comments, favorites, and edit requests).
• Usage Data: Information on how you navigate our platform, such as gallery views, download logs, and interaction timestamps.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use the data we collect exclusively to operate, maintain, and improve the PicGallery platform. Specifically, we use it to:

• Host and securely display photography portfolios and private client galleries.
• Facilitate direct feedback loops between clients and their respective photography studios.
• Process subscription payments for studio accounts.
• Send essential service updates, security alerts, and administrative messages.

4. Data Sharing & Client Privacy

As a platform designed for private client proofing, we do not sell your personal information or photographs to third parties.

If you are a client, your interaction data (such as which photos you favorited or commented on) is shared only with the specific studio that invited you to the gallery. Studios retain full ownership of their uploaded content and are responsible for managing access permissions via password-protected links.

5. Security

We implement robust, industry-standard security measures, including data encryption in transit and at rest, to protect your high-resolution assets and personal data from unauthorized access or alteration. However, no internet transmission is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
