- Facilitate collaborations and licensing workflows
- Send service-related communications (account updates, request notifications, payment confirmations)

3. Information Sharing
We share your information only in the following circumstances:
- Between collaborating parties: When a collaboration is approved, limited profile information is shared between the Model and Studio

4. Reference Photos
Model reference photos are stored securely and are only accessible to Studios with an approved collaboration. Reference photos are not publicly visible and are not used for any purpose other than facilitating licensed AI content creation. Models may delete their reference photos at any time.
5. AI-Generated Images
AI-generated images submitted through the Platform are stored securely. Images pending review are only visible to the Model for approval purposes. Licensed images are accessible to the Studio that purchased the license. We do not use submitted images for AI training or any purpose beyond the licensing workflow.
6. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including encrypted data transmission, secure storage, and access controls. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Data Retention
We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. Licensed image records are retained indefinitely as they serve as proof of licensing. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time, subject to legal retention requirements.

- Access and download your personal data
- Correct inaccurate information
