Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

Picturist ("we", "our", "the studio") is an AI photography atelier concept based in Tallinn, Estonia. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal data collected through this website and any preview Services described on it.

2. Data We Collect

We may collect: contact details you submit through forms (name, email, store or marketplace name, message content); technical data such as browser type, device information and IP address; and usage data collected via cookies, described in our Cookies Policy.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use collected data to respond to enquiries, operate and improve this Site, understand aggregate visitor behaviour, and — where a live service exists — process and deliver photography orders.

4. Uploaded Photos & Generated Images

Where our Services are live, any product photo you upload and any image set generated from it are used solely to fulfil your order. We do not sell uploaded photos or generated images to third parties. We may request permission to use anonymised, non-identifying examples in our own marketing (such as the sample plates on this Site), and will always ask first.

5. Legal Basis for Processing

Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we process personal data on the basis of: your consent (e.g. non-essential cookies, marketing communications); performance of a contract (e.g. processing an order); and our legitimate interest in operating and improving the Site.

6. Sharing & Third Parties

We may share limited data with service providers who help us run this Site (such as hosting, analytics, or content-delivery networks), under confidentiality obligations. We do not sell personal data to third parties for their own marketing purposes.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, or as required by law. Enquiry data submitted through preview forms on this Site is retained only long enough to respond to your request.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.

9. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Children's Privacy

Picturist's Services are not directed at individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
