Your privacy,clearly explained.

Photobid.space is currently operated by Krish Khare as an independent online service. The service may later be transferred to or operated by a registered business entity.

This Privacy Policy explains what information Photobid.space may collect, why it is used, how it is shared, and how uploaded content is handled.

We collect information reasonably necessary to provide, secure, and improve Photobid.space. Depending on how you use the service, this may include:

• Email address and account information.
• Authentication and account-security information.
• Uploaded images, captions, labels, and social-media handles.
• Post, ranking, bidding, and transaction-related information.
• Payment status, transaction references, and billing details provided through payment providers.
• Reports, moderation requests, support messages, and related communications.
• Basic device, browser, IP address, and technical information.
• Information generated when you interact with the platform.

We aim to collect only information reasonably necessary for operating, protecting, maintaining, and improving the service.

We may use collected information to:

• Create, authenticate, and manage user accounts.
• Publish, display, organize, and rank posts.
• Process bids, payments, refunds, and related transactions.
• Host, compress, deliver, and manage uploaded images.
• Apply content moderation and safety measures.
• Prevent spam, fraud, abuse, malware, and platform manipulation.
• Respond to support, privacy, copyright, and removal requests.
• Investigate reports and enforce our Terms and policies.
• Monitor reliability, performance, security, and user experience.
• Communicate important service, account, or policy updates.
• Comply with applicable legal obligations and valid legal requests.

Photobid.space is designed around public image sharing. While a post is active and available, information associated with it may be visible to other users and search engines.

Depending on what you submit, public information may include your image, caption, NSFW label, social-media handle, ranking, bid-related display information, username, or other information included in your post.

Do not include passwords, financial information, private addresses, government identification numbers, private contact details, or other sensitive personal information in public posts.

You are responsible for ensuring that you have the necessary rights, permissions, and lawful basis to upload images or information relating to other people. Do not upload another person’s photograph without their permission or another valid legal basis.

Uploaded images may remain stored and publicly available indefinitely until you delete them, unless Photobid.space removes, restricts, or disables access to them under our policies, for legal reasons, for security purposes, or for operational reasons.

Deleting a post or image may not immediately remove cached versions, backups, screenshots, downloads, reposts, or copies created by other people. We cannot control copies retained or redistributed by third parties.

Certain account, payment, security, moderation, and operational records may be retained for longer when reasonably necessary for legal compliance, fraud prevention, accounting, dispute resolution, or enforcement of our agreements.

We may use cookies, session identifiers, local storage, and similar technologies to keep you signed in, protect accounts, maintain security, remember essential preferences, and understand service performance.

Your browser may allow you to control certain cookies and storage technologies. Disabling essential technologies may affect some Photobid.space features.

We may collect technical information such as browser type, device information, approximate location derived from IP address, operating system, access times, referring pages, and diagnostic information.

Payment transactions are processed securely by independent, PCI-DSS compliant payment service providers (including Dodo Payments). Photobid.space never sees, intercepts, collects, or stores your full credit or debit card numbers, expiration dates, CVVs, or banking passwords on our servers.

Payment details entered during checkout are submitted directly to the payment processor over encrypted, secure socket layer (TLS/HTTPS) connections.

We only receive limited, non-sensitive transactional records from the payment processor, including payment reference IDs, payment status (e.g., succeeded, pending, refunded), transaction currency, amount paid, timestamp, and optional card brand/last four digits for receipt generation and fraud prevention.

These records are retained strictly for accounting, taxation, dispute resolution, and lawful regulatory compliance. Payment processors handle your personal information in accordance with their own respective privacy policies and regulatory standards.

We do not sell your private account information. We may share limited information with service providers that help us operate and protect Photobid.space, including providers for:

• Hosting and application infrastructure.
• Image storage and content delivery.
• Authentication and account management.
• Payment processing and transaction verification.
• Security, malware detection, and content moderation.
• Analytics, diagnostics, and performance monitoring.
• Email, support, and communication services.

We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, respond to valid legal requests, protect users, investigate abuse or fraud, enforce our Terms, or protect the rights, property, and safety of Photobid.space and others.

Uploaded content may be reviewed through automated tools, manual moderation, user reports, or a combination of these methods.

Images and related information may be processed to identify prohibited, harmful, fraudulent, malicious, or policy-violating content. We do not guarantee that every violation will be detected immediately or that every automated decision will be error-free.

Content may be hidden, rejected, restricted, or removed when necessary to enforce our policies, protect users, maintain platform security, or comply with legal obligations.

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures intended to protect information against unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

However, no online service, storage system, transmission method, or security measure can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You use Photobid.space with this risk in mind.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or information about the personal data we process about you.

You may also be able to delete your posts, update certain account information, or stop using the service.

To submit a privacy or data request, contact us using the details provided below. We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests. Some information may be retained where required or permitted by law.

Photobid.space is not intended for children who are not legally permitted to use the service in their location.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law. If you believe that a child has provided personal information improperly, please contact us so that we can review the matter and take appropriate action.

Photobid.space and its service providers may process or store information in countries other than the country where you live. Those countries may have data-protection rules that differ from those in your jurisdiction.

Where required, we will use appropriate safeguards for international transfers and processing of personal information.

We may update this Privacy Policy as Photobid.space evolves, our features change, or legal requirements develop.

We will update the date at the top of this page when changes are made. Where required by law, we will provide additional notice. Continued use of the service after an update means you acknowledge the revised policy to the extent permitted by applicable law.
