Welcome to Find a Lamp ("Site", "Service"), operated by Hola Studio ("we", "us", or "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website and use our services. Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the site.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information in the following ways to provide and improve our Service:
1.1. Information You Provide Directly
- User Photos: When you use our core recommendation feature, you will upload a photograph of your space ("User Photo"). This photo is processed by our AI system to generate lighting recommendations. **We do not store User Photos on our servers after the analysis for your current session is complete.** The processing is done in real-time or near real-time for the purpose of providing the service during your active session.
1.2. Information We Collect Anonymously and Automatically
As you navigate through and interact with our Site, we may collect certain information anonymously to improve our services and user experience:
- Filter Preferences: We may store the filter criteria you apply (e.g., style, budget range, light temperature) in an anonymous way to understand popular choices and refine our service.
- Session Information: We may collect general, non-personally identifiable information about your session, such as the features you use, the types of recommendations viewed, and general interaction patterns. This data is aggregated and anonymized.
- Affiliate Link Interactions: If you click on an affiliate link to a third-party e-commerce site, this interaction may be tracked anonymously for commission and analytical purposes. We do not receive or store any personal purchase details you make on these third-party sites.
All automatically collected data is anonymized and cannot be used to identify you personally.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect in the following ways:
- To Provide and Operate the Service: User Photos are used solely to generate personalized lighting recommendations. Anonymized filter and session data help us to improve the functionality and relevance of our recommendations.
- To Improve Our Service: Anonymous and aggregated data helps us understand user trends, popular features, and areas for improvement in our AI algorithms and user interface.
- For Affiliate Tracking: Anonymous tracking of clicks on affiliate links is used for commission purposes.
3. Data Storage and Security
- User Photos: As stated, User Photos are processed to provide recommendations and are **not stored** on our servers beyond the active session required for processing.
- Anonymous Data: Anonymized data (filter preferences, session information, affiliate interactions) may be stored on secure servers. We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect this anonymous data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.
- Data Retention: We retain anonymized data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, such as service improvement and trend analysis.
4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to collect anonymous session information and enhance your experience on our Site. Cookies are small data files stored on your hard drive or in device memory that help us improve our Site and your experience, see which areas and features of our Site are popular, and count visits.
You can typically instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, some portions of our Service may not function properly.
We do not use cookies to collect personally identifiable information.
5. Disclosure of Your Information
Since we do not store User Photos and only collect other data anonymously, the scope for disclosing personally identifiable information is extremely limited.
We may share anonymized and aggregated data:
- With Service Providers: We may share anonymized data with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to do that work (e.g., web analytics).
- For Legal Reasons: If required by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency), we may disclose information if necessary.
We do not sell any user data, anonymous or otherwise.
6. Third-Party Websites
Our Site may contain links to third-party websites (e.g., e-commerce sites via affiliate links) and applications of interest that are not affiliated with us. Once you have used these links to leave our Site, any information you provide to these third parties is not covered by this Privacy Policy, and we cannot guarantee the safety and privacy of your information. We are not responsible for the content or privacy and security practices and policies of any third parties, including other sites, services, or applications that may be linked to or from our Site.
7. Your Data Protection Rights (GDPR and International Compliance)
We are committed to upholding data protection principles and complying with applicable regulations such as the GDPR and other international privacy laws.
Given that we do not store your User Photos and other data collected is anonymous:
- Access, Rectification, Erasure: Since we do not store personal data that can identify you, rights related to accessing, rectifying, or erasing identifiable personal data are generally not applicable in the traditional sense.
- Data Portability: Similarly, data portability rights for identifiable personal data are not applicable.
However, if you have any concerns about our data practices or believe any interaction with our site has inadvertently compromised your privacy, please contact us.
8. Children's Privacy
Our Service is not intended for use by children under the age of 13 (or a higher age threshold as required by applicable law). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under this age. If we become aware that we have collected such information without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information from our servers.
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
