4. Cookies and Cookie Consent

Shiny Photo Prompts uses cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site, understand website usage, improve our content, maintain security, and support advertising.

Some cookies are necessary for the basic operation of the Site, while others may be used for analytics, advertising, personalization, or other purposes.

Where required by applicable law, we will ask for your consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you may be shown a consent message that allows you to make choices about cookies, advertising, and the processing of personal information.

Depending on the consent mechanism and your choices, you may be able to:

• Accept applicable cookies and advertising technologies

• Manage individual privacy and advertising preferences
• Withdraw or change your consent at a later time

Your choices may be stored so that we can remember your preferences and avoid repeatedly displaying the same consent request.

Where Google AdSense personalized advertising is used for visitors in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, Shiny Photo Prompts will use a Google-certified consent management platform (CMP) integrated with the IAB Europe Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF), where required by Google's publisher policies.

The consent-management system may provide information about the advertising technology providers that may process information through the Site and the purposes for which that information may be used.

You can change or withdraw your consent through the privacy or cookie settings made available on the Site.

5. Google AdSense and Advertising

Shiny Photo Prompts may display advertisements provided by Google AdSense and other advertising partners.

The availability and personalization of advertisements may depend on your location, consent choices, browser settings, and the advertising services being used.

For information about how Google uses information when you use websites or apps that use its services, please review Google's information about how it uses data from partner sites and apps.

You may also manage certain Google advertising preferences through Google's advertising settings.

Where required by applicable law, we will use an appropriate consent mechanism for visitors in jurisdictions where consent is required for personalized advertising or certain advertising-related cookies.

6. Consent for Users in the European Economic Area, the UK, and Switzerland

Where required, we will ask for your consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies and before using personal information for personalized advertising.

When personalized advertising is served to users in the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland through Google AdSense, we use a consent management platform that is certified by Google and integrated with the IAB Europe Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF), as required by Google's publisher policies.

Shiny Photo Prompts provides prompts and educational information for use with third-party AI tools.

We do not require you to upload personal photographs to Shiny Photo Prompts simply to browse our prompt library or read our articles.

If you choose to upload a photograph or other personal information directly to a third-party AI service using one of our prompts, that information is generally handled by the third-party service rather than by Shiny Photo Prompts.

Before uploading a photograph, especially a photograph containing another person, you should review the relevant AI service's privacy policy and terms and make sure you have any permission required to use the image.

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including to provide services, respond to inquiries, maintain business and security records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.

12. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information handled through the Site against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
