Studioless Restore
Link to section: Studioless RestoreRestore photos are stored by Vercel and processed on our own computer in South Korea, which deletes its copy right after the results are uploaded (24 hours at most). It is ours, not a service provider’s.
As part of any restore order (you agree to this on the order form), we may also send the whole photo you want restored to OpenAI OpCo, LLC through the OpenAI API, under our company’s account, so that its AI model can repair it (and, if you ordered color, colorize it); the result comes straight back to us. OpenAI acts as our service provider under its Services Agreement and Data Processing Addendum, doesn’t sell or share the data, and doesn’t use API data for training unless a customer opts in, which we don’t. It may keep inputs and outputs for up to 30 days for abuse monitoring, longer where the law requires it or an image is flagged, and its own sub-processors may process them in the United States and other countries (OpenAI’s sub-processor list). Photos sent to us under an earlier Restore consent, which said photos weren’t sent to outside AI services, are never sent to OpenAI. Details: Restore privacy notice.
Optional analytics and advertising
Link to section: Optional analytics and advertisingThese are not service providers in the same sense. They load only if we turn them on and you have not opted out or sent Global Privacy Control, and never on order pages. They never receive photos, face data, file names or order links. Manage them on Your Privacy Choices.
