Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Professional AI Studio ("we," "our," or "us"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy will inform you about how we look after your personal data when you visit our website (professionalaistudio.com), what data we collect, and why.

2. Data We Collect

We may collect and process the following data about you:

• Identity Data: First name, last name, email address, and profile picture provided through Third-Party Authentication (e.g., Google OAuth).
• Image Data: Photographs uploaded for processing. Due to our Zero Data Storage policy, these are instantly deleted post-processing.
• Technical Data: Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform.
• Usage Data: Information about how you use our website, products, and services, monitored by Google Analytics.

3. How We Use Your Data

• To provide the Service: Uploaded images are passed to our AI engines solely for the purpose of removing backgrounds, checking compliance, and formatting.
• To process payments: To manage billing and handle orders for downloaded documents.
• To improve our website: We use aggregated technical data (like Google Analytics) to improve our algorithms' speed, user interface design, and global availability.

4. Third-Party Services

We use third-party tools to facilitate our Service. These parties have access to your Personal Data only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose:

• Authentication: Google Auth (NextAuth.js) stores secure active session tokens.
• Analytics: Google Analytics (gtag.js) operates under Google's Data Processing Terms to provide us with traffic aggregated metrics.
• Cloud Processing: Our ephemeral AI processing pipelines run on secure, compliant cloud architecture.

5. Cookies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track the activity on our Service and hold certain information (like your consent preference). You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. For more details, see our Cookie Policy.

6. Your Rights (GDPR / CCPA)

Under certain circumstances and depending on your jurisdiction, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data, including the right to:

• Request access to your personal data.
• Request correction of your personal data.
• Request erasure of your personal data (Right to be Forgotten).
• Object to the processing of your personal data.

Because we do not store your Image Data at all, erasure requests primarily apply to your Account Identity Data (email address) used for authentication.
