Service providers
We share information only as needed to operate the service. Providers may include Google and Meta for social sign in, Supabase for accounts and application data, Stripe for payments and tax calculation, Link as the seller of record for eligible digital purchases, Cloudflare for image storage and delivery, OpenAI for image analysis and generation, Vercel for hosting and workflows, an email delivery provider, and a print fulfillment partner.
A provider receives only the information reasonably needed for its role. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights or safety, or as part of a business transaction.
Government and public authority requests
Pet Portrait Direct LLC maintains a process for responding to requests from public authorities for personal information. Under this process, we:
- Review every request for legality
- Challenge invalid or overly broad requests when permitted by law
- Disclose only the minimum information necessary
- Document each request, our response, the legal reasoning, and the people involved
Photos and generated portraits
Uploaded pet photos are used to create and support your requested portrait. Generated portraits are stored so you can view and download them. We do not display an account portrait publicly unless a sharing feature is used or you otherwise choose to make it public.
If you allow images to appear with a verified review, we prepare separate copies of the selected pet photos and finished portrait and remove embedded metadata. Each copy must be approved before it can appear publicly. You can later withdraw that permission and remove the review copies without deleting your written review or original account images.
Cookies, analytics, and advertising
We use essential cookies and similar technologies for sign in, security, preferences, and service operation. Optional analytics, advertising measurement, or session replay will be activated only as permitted by applicable law and the consent choices presented to you. We do not sell your pet photos or payment information.
Retention and deletion
We keep information for as long as reasonably needed to provide the service, maintain your account, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and meet legal, tax, and accounting obligations. Different records may have different retention periods.
You can delete eligible portraits through your account. Some minimal order, payment, security, and audit records may be retained when required for legitimate business or legal purposes.
You can also follow our data deletion instructions to request removal of account information received through social sign in.
Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or receive a copy of personal information. You may also have rights to object to certain uses or withdraw consent. Contact us to submit a request. We may need to verify your identity.
You can manage print inspiration email preferences from your account. Every marketing email also includes an unsubscribe link that applies immediately.
Security and international processing
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards. No internet service can guarantee complete security. Information may be processed in countries other than your own, with protections required by applicable law.
Children
The service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. A parent or guardian who believes a child provided information should contact us.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy as our service or legal obligations change. The updated date at the top shows the latest version.
