Welcome to framespace.us! This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you use our client photo gallery service for photographers and creatives.

1. Information We Collect

When you sign up and use framespace.us, we collect the following information:

• Authentication Data: Email addresses and login credentials managed securely through Clerk.
• Project Data: Details related to your photo galleries and projects, including uploaded images and metadata, which are securely stored in Supabase.
• Usage Data: Information regarding your activity within the platform, such as access logs, IP addresses, and interactions with galleries.

2. How We Use Your Information

Your data is used for the following purposes:

• To provide the gallery creation and sharing service.
• To store and distribute your photos using Backblaze and Cloudinary for efficient global delivery.
• To enable sharing of albums through personalized subdomains (e.g., juliusdan.framespace.us/project-abc).
• To offer customer support and notify you of updates or issues.

3. Data Storage and Compliance

All project data, including images and albums, is stored in the Backblaze EU region to ensure compliance with GDPR and other relevant data protection laws. Authentication data is securely managed by Clerk, while personal details (e.g., names and album information) are stored in Supabase.

We are committed to ensuring your data remains private and compliant with regulations such as GDPR and CCPA.

4. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your data. However, when you share albums via your custom subdomain (e.g., juliusdan.framespace.us), those albums may be accessed by the individuals you choose to share links with. You are responsible for ensuring that your shared links are provided to trusted individuals.

5. Security

We take reasonable measures to secure your data, including encryption and regular audits of our security practices. All communications with our servers are encrypted using SSL/TLS protocols.

However, please note that no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data.

6. Your Rights

As a user, you have the right to access, update, or delete your data at any time. You can do so through your account settings or by contacting us directly at support@framespace.us.

If you are based in the EU, you also have the right to request that we delete or transfer your data in compliance with GDPR.

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies to enhance your experience, remember your preferences, and track site usage. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, but doing so may limit the functionality of the service.
