Information We Collect

This policy applies to the PFP Makerly website at pfpmakerly.com and the profile picture tools offered on it. The information we handle falls into three groups.

Information You Provide

  • Details you submit through the contact form, such as your name, email address, and message.
  • Your email address when you subscribe to the newsletter.
  • Messages and attachments you send to support.
  • Photos you upload to the profile picture tools.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the site, standard technical data may be recorded, such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, and referring page. This data is typically recorded by our hosting provider and the tools that keep the site running and secure.

Information Generated Through Use

The tools produce edited images and generated profile pictures based on what you upload and the options you choose.

How We Use Information

We use information only for purposes that apply to our website and tools:

  • Providing the website and its profile picture features.
  • Responding to support requests and messages.
  • Sending newsletter emails you subscribed to.
  • Maintaining, troubleshooting, and improving how the service works.
  • Detecting and preventing spam, abuse, and security problems.
  • Meeting legal obligations.

Uploaded Photos and AI Processing

The profile picture tools take a photo you upload and produce edited or generated images. The points below explain how your photos are handled.

  • Where processing happens: creating and editing pictures takes place on servers, which may be run by us or by the providers we use, and not only on your device.
  • Who receives your images: AI and image-processing providers that help create your results may receive your uploaded photos. They work under their own terms and privacy policies.
  • Storage: uploaded photos and generated pictures may be stored temporarily so the tool can work and you can download your results.
  • Retention: images and related metadata are kept only as long as needed to provide the tool and your results, unless the law requires longer.
  • Model training: your photos are used to create your results. Whether a provider uses submitted content to improve its own models depends on that provider's terms and privacy policy, which we encourage you to read.
  • Deletion: you can ask us to delete stored images by emailing support@pfpmakerly.com, and we will review the request.

Only upload photos you have the right to use. If a photo shows another person, make sure you have their permission.

Cookies and Website Technologies

Websites commonly use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working, remember settings, measure usage, and protect against abuse. WordPress and its plugins may set cookies as part of normal operation.

This site may use these types of cookies and similar technologies:

  • Essential cookies: keep the site working, support sessions, and help protect forms and logins.
  • Analytics tools: if enabled, show us how pages are used so we can improve them.
  • Third-party content: fonts and code libraries loaded from other services may record basic request data.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the site work.

Contact Forms and Newsletter

This website uses Contact Form 7 on WordPress for its contact form and its newsletter signup form.

Contact Form

The contact form collects the details you type into it, such as your name, email address, and message. Submissions are delivered by email to PFP Makerly and may also be recorded in the WordPress site's database or logs, depending on how the form is set up.

Newsletter

The newsletter form collects your email address so we can send newsletter emails. Subscriber records are kept in our website or email delivery system. You can withdraw at any time by using the unsubscribe link in a newsletter email or by emailing support@pfpmakerly.com.

These forms may use spam-protection features, such as Contact Form 7's built-in checks or a spam-filtering plugin, which may use technical details like your IP address for that purpose.

Third-Party Services

We may rely on outside providers to run the website and tools. Each provider handles information under its own privacy policy.

  • Website hosting: a hosting provider stores and serves the website and its data.
  • AI image processing: AI and image-processing providers may receive uploaded photos to create your results.
  • Email delivery and newsletter: email services deliver form messages and newsletters.
  • Analytics: analytics tools, if enabled, help us understand how the site is used.
  • Payment processing: if paid plans are offered, a third-party payment processor handles payment details.
  • Security and spam protection: security and spam-filtering tools help protect the site and its forms.
  • Fonts, icons, and code libraries: pages may load these from content delivery networks such as Google Fonts, jsDelivr, or cdnjs, which can receive your IP address when they serve files.

Data Sharing

Information may be shared in these situations:

  • With service providers that help us operate the website and tools, as described above.
  • With legal authorities or other parties when required by law, a court order, or a valid legal process.
  • To protect the rights, safety, or security of PFP Makerly, our users, or others.
  • In connection with a business transfer, such as a merger or sale.

Data Retention and Deletion

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes in this policy, or as the law requires. In practice:

  • Contact submissions: kept as long as needed to respond and handle follow-up questions.
  • Newsletter records: kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to remove you.
  • Uploaded photos and generated images: kept only as long as needed to provide the tool and your results.
  • Technical logs: kept for a limited time for security and troubleshooting.

To ask for deletion, email support@pfpmakerly.com from the address you used with us. We may need to keep some information where the law requires it, for security or fraud prevention, or to handle disputes. We will respond within a reasonable time, as the law requires.

Data Security

We use safeguards intended to protect information handled through the website, such as encrypted connections (HTTPS), controlled access to administrative accounts, and regular software updates. No website or method of transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live and the laws that apply, you may have rights such as:

  • Asking what personal information we hold about you.
  • Asking us to correct inaccurate information.
  • Asking us to delete your information.
  • Withdrawing consent, including unsubscribing from the newsletter.
  • Objecting to or asking us to limit certain uses.

To make a request, email support@pfpmakerly.com. We may ask you to verify your identity before acting on it.

Children's Privacy

PFP Makerly is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information to us, contact support@pfpmakerly.com and we will review the request and remove the information where appropriate.

International Data Transfers

Our service providers may process or store information in countries other than your own, which may have different data protection laws. Each provider's privacy policy describes how it protects the information it handles.

Policy Updates

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be published on this page, and the effective date at the top will be updated when the policy is reviewed or revised.
