Here's the Short Version
- We collect your email address when you join the waitlist -- that's it.
- We use Google Analytics with your consent to understand how visitors use our site.
- We don't process your guests' images. That happens through your own API keys (OpenAI, Gemini, or Ollama).
- You can unsubscribe, request your data, or ask us to delete it at any time.
- We don't sell, share, or trade your personal data. Ever.
What We Collect
When you join our waitlist, we collect your email address and your consent preference. We do not collect names, phone numbers, payment details, or any other personal information at this stage.
How We Use Your Data
Your email address is used solely to send you waitlist updates, launch announcements, and early-bird pricing information. We will never send unsolicited marketing or share your email with third parties.
The BYOK Model
LivedSketch.com operates on a Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) model. When you use our software, image processing happens through your own API keys (OpenAI, Gemini) or locally via Ollama. We never see, store, or process your guests' photos or portraits. Your data stays on your infrastructure.
Cookies and Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors interact with our website. Analytics cookies are only placed after you explicitly consent via our cookie banner. Without consent, Google Analytics runs in restricted mode and does not store cookies. You can change your cookie preferences at any time via the 'Cookie Settings' link in the footer.
Third-Party Services
We use Netlify for hosting and form processing. Google Analytics 4 for website analytics (with your consent). No other third-party services have access to your personal data through our website.
Data Retention
Waitlist email addresses are retained until the product launches and you either convert to a customer account or unsubscribe. Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics' default retention settings (14 months). You can request deletion of your data at any time.
Your Rights Under GDPR
You have the right to: access your personal data, correct inaccurate data, request deletion of your data, restrict processing of your data, data portability (receive your data in a structured format), object to processing, and withdraw consent at any time.
