3. Purposes and Legal Bases
| Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Managing registrations and invitations | Performance of the beta participation terms |
| Account creation and management | Performance of the service |
| Processing photographs and generating patterns | Performance of the service |
| Storing projects and providing PDFs | Performance of the service |
| Questionnaire required for the beta process | Performance of the participation terms |
| Analyzing feedback to improve the application | Legitimate interests of the Publisher |
| Problem reports and support | Performance of the service and legitimate interests, depending on the processing |
| Optional observation through Microsoft Clarity | Consent |
| Security and technical diagnostics | Legitimate interests, performance of the service or legal obligation, depending on the processing |
Questionnaire responses are used to understand difficulties encountered, evaluate features and improve Photo Quilt Builder.
Observation through Clarity remains independent of participation in the questionnaire.
4. Photographs and Creations
Photographs are processed to create and store the projects requested by the user.
They may be stored together with their transformed versions, previews and generated patterns.
Photo Quilt Builder does not use users' photographs, mosaics or PDFs to train artificial intelligence models.
Personal creations are not used for promotional purposes without separate, explicit authorization.
Provision of the service relies on the technical processing necessary to generate and store creations.
5. Audience and usage measurement — Microsoft Clarity
With your consent, we use Microsoft Clarity to understand how Photo Quilt Builder is used and to identify any navigation or usability difficulties. Clarity is only activated after you agree, and you can refuse or withdraw your consent at any time from the analytics settings.
The tool may analyze:
- Pages viewed and navigation within the application.
- Clicks and interactions.
- Use of settings and features.
- Certain technical information about the browser and device.
- Certain events and diagnostics that help explain how the service operates.
Photographs and certain personal content are protected by masking mechanisms. Authentication, invitation, password recovery and administration pages are excluded from observation.
Masking reduces the collection of personal content but does not guarantee absolute anonymization.
Data collected by Clarity may include pseudonymous identifiers and navigation information.
Users may refuse or withdraw their consent without losing access to the beta, their project or their pattern.
Withdrawal stops subsequent collection in the relevant browser according to the application's operation. It does not automatically delete previously collected data.
6. Recipients and Service Providers
Data may be accessible, to the extent necessary, to:
- Vanessa Mangavel, for beta administration, support and feedback analysis.
- Lovable Cloud and associated technical providers, for hosting, authentication, storage and operation of the application.
- Lovable Emails and its delivery infrastructure, for transactional emails.
- Microsoft Clarity, only after the user's consent.
- Technical providers involved in the infrastructure, security and maintenance of the service.
Photo Quilt Builder uses Lovable Cloud infrastructure, including database, authentication and storage services.
Cloudflare also participates in the technical delivery of the published application.
7. International Transfers
Photo Quilt Builder is operated from France and uses service providers that may operate in different countries.
Certain data may be processed or accessed outside the European Economic Area, particularly in connection with technical services and the optional use of Microsoft Clarity.
Transfers are subject to the mechanisms and safeguards applicable to the relevant providers.
Users may request further information at contact@photoquiltbuilder.com.
Photo Quilt Builder does not guarantee that all processing and technical access take place exclusively within the European Union.
8. Data Retention
The following retention periods and criteria apply to Photo Quilt Builder data.
| Data | Retention period or criterion |
|---|---|
| Unselected registrations | Until final closure of the beta selection process |
| Expired or abandoned invitations | Until the official launch |
| Activated accounts | For the lifetime of the account, subject to other justified grounds for retention or closure |
| Photographs and creation data | For the lifetime of the corresponding project |
| Delivered PDFs | While made available in the library, according to the associated rights |
| Individual questionnaire responses | 24 months after the official launch |
| Problem reports | 12 months after resolution |
| Evidence of granted rights | For as long as necessary to manage the associated rights |
Individual questionnaire responses may be deleted earlier where an applicable erasure request justifies doing so.
Freeform rights obtained do not depend on the permanent retention of detailed questionnaire responses.
The periods above define the adopted retention policy. Certain deletion operations are currently performed manually, and not all automated purges are implemented in the beta version.
Technical logs, backups and data held by service providers may be subject to separate retention periods and procedures.
Microsoft Clarity
Microsoft documents, in particular:
- Ordinary recordings: 30 days.
- Click and aggregated data: up to 9 months.
- Labeled, favorited or certain sampled recordings: up to 9 months.
These periods are governed by the provider's practices.
9. Data Stored in the Browser
Certain project data may be stored locally in the browser through localStorage or IndexedDB.
This may include photographs, drafts, previews and preferences.
These data may remain after ordinary sign-out to allow users to resume their work.
Users should take this persistence into account when using a shared device.
Deleting data on one device does not guarantee its deletion from every other device used.
10. Exercising Your Rights
Subject to the conditions provided by applicable regulations, users may request:
- Access to their personal data.
- Rectification.
- Erasure.
- Restriction of certain processing.
- Data portability where applicable.
- Objection to relevant processing.
Users may also withdraw their consent to Microsoft Clarity.
Requests should be sent to:
Identity verification may be carried out where necessary.
Requests are handled within the periods provided by applicable regulations.
Account deletion results in the loss of access to hosted projects, PDFs and associated creation rights. Users are encouraged to download their patterns before confirming deletion.
Certain data may be retained where their continued retention is legally justified.
Users may also lodge a complaint with the French Data Protection Authority (CNIL): www.cnil.fr.
11. Changes
This Policy may be amended to reflect changes to Photo Quilt Builder, its features or its data processing activities.
Users will be informed of significant changes where necessary.
