Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 8, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how AI DESIGN EXPERTS LLC (a New York state LLC) (“we,” “us,” “our”) collects, uses, and protects information in connection with the Photo Protein service available at photoprotein.com (the “Service”).

Quick Summary

Information We Collect

Account & Authentication

If you sign in with Google (via Supabase Auth), we receive your email. We set a short-lived, HttpOnly session cookie (sb_access_token) so server-rendered pages (e.g., /profile) recognize you.

Uploads & Nutrition Results

When signed in, the Service stores: a thumbnail of your meal photo (in Wasabi S3), nutrition items and totals derived from the photo, a short meal title, timestamps, and (for abuse prevention) IP address at upload. Anonymous uploads are processed ephemerally and not persisted.

Device/Usage

We collect basic technical data needed to operate the Service (e.g., request logs, rate-limit counters keyed to your account or IP). The site also uses local storage for simple UI preferences (e.g., last selected tab/range).

Support

If you contact us, we collect the information you provide in your message.

How We Use Information

No “Sale” or “Sharing” of Personal Information

We do not sell or share your personal information as those terms are defined by the CCPA/CPRA (including no cross-context behavioral advertising). We also honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. If our practices change, we will update this Policy and provide legally required notices and choices.

Service Providers & Processing

We use third parties that process information on our behalf and under our instructions:

These providers are contractually restricted from using personal information for their own independent purposes.

Cookies & Local Storage

We do not use tracking cookies for targeted advertising.

Retention & Deletion

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of your information, and to object or restrict certain processing. We honor CCPA/CPRA rights for California residents (including the right to know and delete). To exercise a right, email contact@photoprotein.com. We may need to verify your identity and, if applicable, your authority as an agent.

Security & International Transfers

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information (e.g., access controls, presigned media URLs, and role-based database policies). No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. Our service providers may store or process information in the United States or other countries. By using the Service, you understand your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States.

Children

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Changes & Contact

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version and change the “Effective date” above. If changes are material, we will take additional steps as required by law.
