Pose Photo & light platform

Privacy

Privacy Policy

How Pose handles accounts, public profiles, uploaded photos, RAW files, social activity, metrics, metadata, and privacy rights.

Public sharing is not fully controllable. Privacy controls and deletion tools help, but public online content can be copied, cached, indexed, screenshotted, downloaded, or reused outside Pose.
01

Who we are

Pose is a photography and social media platform for discovering pose references, publishing creative work, sharing RAW files and edits, saving collections, discussing images, and learning from camera, light, and location context. References to "we", "us", and "our" mean the operator of Pose.

02

What information we collect

We may collect account details such as name, username, email address, password hash, profile information, preferences, subscription or role information, support messages, privacy requests, moderation reports, and settings. We also collect content and activity that users choose to create or upload.

03

Photos, RAW files, edits and uploaded content

Pose may store uploaded photos, RAW files, edited images, presets, XMP files, captions, descriptions, tags, categories, collections, public assets, and related upload details. Content you publish may be visible to other users or the public depending on the page, feature, and privacy setting used.

04

EXIF, camera data and possible GPS/location metadata

Images and RAW files may contain EXIF or similar metadata such as camera model, lens, exposure, focal length, capture date, editing software, orientation, color profile, and sometimes GPS or location coordinates. We may extract, display, store, strip, or use metadata to power features, moderation, search, metrics, or safety. You should remove sensitive metadata before upload if you do not want it shared.

05

Profile, social activity, comments, likes, saves, reports and messages

We may process profile pages, public display names, bios, avatars, follows or similar relationships, comments, likes, saves, collection activity, reports, moderation notes, messages, and interactions with creators or content. Some social activity can be public or visible to recipients, moderators, creators, or administrators.

06

Metric, logs, cookies, device/browser/IP information

We use first-party metrics and logs to understand page views, sessions, traffic sources, engagement, downloads, saves, reports, errors, abuse, and security events. This can include cookies or session identifiers, browser and device information, IP-derived signals, hashed IP addresses, user agent information, referrers, timestamps, and pages visited.

07

How we use information

We use information to run Pose, provide accounts and public pages, host and deliver uploads, personalize and improve discovery, measure views and downloads, support creators, process reports, moderate content, prevent fraud and abuse, secure the service, respond to requests, comply with legal obligations, and communicate about the platform.

08

Public content warning

When you publish or share content publicly, it may be viewed, copied, shared, downloaded, screenshotted, indexed by search engines, cached, archived, or reused by other people. We provide privacy controls, deletion tools, reports, moderation, and security measures, but once something is public online, we cannot fully control every copy outside our platform.

09

User choices and controls

Depending on available features, you may be able to update your profile, edit or delete uploads, change visibility, remove metadata before upload, manage collections and saves, report content, block or limit interactions, opt out of non-essential communications, or adjust browser cookie settings. Some controls may not affect copies already accessed by others.

10

Account deletion and data requests

You can contact us to request account deletion, access, correction, export, restriction, objection, or other privacy help. We may need to verify your identity and may retain limited records where required for security, legal compliance, dispute resolution, audit logs, backups, fraud prevention, or moderation integrity.

11

Australia privacy requirements

Because Pose is operated with an Australian audience in mind, we aim to handle personal information consistently with applicable Australian privacy requirements, including transparency, reasonable security, access and correction where required, and appropriate handling of complaints. If the Australian Privacy Act or Australian Privacy Principles apply to us in a specific situation, we will handle relevant requests accordingly.

12

EU/UK/international privacy rights where applicable

Where EU, UK, or other international privacy laws apply, users may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object, portability, withdraw consent, or complain to a regulator. Our lawful bases may include providing the service, legitimate interests, consent, legal obligations, and protecting users or the platform.

13

Cloud hosting, backups and overseas service providers

Pose may use cloud hosting, storage, email, metrics, security, payment, content delivery, moderation, and support providers. These providers may process information in Australia or overseas. Backups and logs may persist for a limited period after deletion before routine expiry.

14

Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures such as access controls, password hashing, logging, abuse prevention, and secure infrastructure practices. No online service is perfectly secure, so users should use strong passwords, protect account access, and be careful with sensitive uploads or metadata.

15

Data retention

We retain information for as long as needed to provide Pose, maintain public pages and creator metrics, meet legal or accounting requirements, resolve disputes, enforce terms, prevent abuse, keep security logs, and maintain backups. Public content, cached pages, metrics totals, and moderation records may have different retention periods.

16

Children/minors

Pose is not intended for children under the minimum age required by applicable law. Minors should use Pose only with appropriate parent or guardian consent. Do not upload private information, location metadata, or identifiable images of minors unless you have the necessary rights and consent.
