Privacy Policy

We respect your privacy and want you to understand clearly what happens to your information. This policy covers our website, our online photo colorization and restoration tools, our newsletter and our contact form.

We may collect the following types of information:

• Photographs you upload: images you choose to submit so they can be colorized or enhanced.
• Contact details: your name, email address and message when you use our contact form or email us.
• Newsletter details: your email address when you subscribe to our newsletter.
• Account and plan information: details needed to provide the plan you choose, where applicable.
• Usage information: pages visited, features used, browser type, device type and approximate location derived from your IP address.
• Cookies and similar technologies: small files that help the website work and help us understand how it is used.

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, operate and improve our photo colorization and restoration tools.
• Process the photographs you upload and return the processed results to you.
• Respond to your questions, requests and support messages.
• Send newsletter emails if you have subscribed, which you can stop at any time.

• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

Photographs you upload are used to generate the colorized or enhanced result you requested. We process uploaded images only to provide the service to you.

We keep uploaded and processed images only for as long as needed to provide the service, deliver your results and meet our legal or security needs. We do not use your personal photographs for advertising. Please keep a copy of your original photographs, because we do not provide a storage or backup service.

Only upload photographs that you own or have permission to use, and avoid uploading images that contain sensitive information you are not comfortable sharing.

Cookies help our website function properly and help us understand how visitors use it. We may use cookies for the following purposes:

• Essential cookies: needed for core website features to work.
• Performance cookies: help us measure traffic and improve the website.
• Preference cookies: remember choices you make on the website.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information only in the following situations:

• With service providers who help us run the website, host our systems, send emails or process images on our behalf, under appropriate confidentiality obligations.
• When required by law, regulation, legal process or a valid request from public authorities.
• To protect the rights, safety and security of our users, our website and the public.
• In connection with a business transfer such as a merger or acquisition, with notice where required.

Our website may use third-party services such as hosting, analytics, email delivery and form handling plugins. These providers have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them. Our website may also contain links to other websites that we do not control, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices.

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to help protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, to comply with legal obligations, to resolve disputes and to enforce our agreements. When information is no longer needed, we delete it or anonymize it.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information. These may include the right to:

• Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
• Ask us to correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete.
• Ask us to delete your personal information, subject to legal requirements.
• Object to or request limits on certain processing.
• Unsubscribe from newsletter emails at any time using the link in the email or by contacting us.
• Control cookies through your browser settings.

Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.

Your information may be processed and stored in countries other than the one where you live. Where we transfer information internationally, we take steps intended to ensure it continues to be protected in line with this policy.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy regularly. Your continued use of the website after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
