4A. AI Processing & Third-Party Model Transparency

Photoshoot Studio uses third-party AI models to process your images. When you use our service:

What is sent to AI providers: Your uploaded product images (or processed versions thereof) are transmitted to third-party AI services for the purpose of generating styled product photography. Text-based product analysis data may also be sent to AI services for prompt optimization.

What is NOT shared: Your personal account information, payment details, or usage history are never sent to AI model providers. Only the minimum image and text data required to perform the requested generation is transmitted.

Data retention by third parties: Third-party AI providers may temporarily process your image data according to their own data retention policies. We select providers that do not use customer inputs to train their models, but we cannot guarantee compliance by third parties. Please review the privacy policies of our AI providers:

• AIML API Privacy Policy
• Anthropic Privacy Policy

No training on your data: ConnectEngine LLC does not use your uploaded images, generated images, or any associated data to train, fine-tune, or improve any AI models. Your content is processed solely to deliver the service to you.
