Privacy Policy
Last updated 23 August 2026
The short version: we collect your email, your uploaded photos, and what you render. We use them to run the service and nothing else. We do not sell your data, and we do not train AI models on your photos. Your card details never touch our servers.
1. Who is responsible
Studio Tools Inc., at 418 Broadway, Ste Y, Albany, NY 12207, USA, is the controller of personal information described here. Contact us at privacy@studiotools.design.
2. What we collect
| What | Why | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Email address | To create your account, send sign-in codes, deliver receipts, and answer support requests. | Performance of a contract |
| Photos you upload | To generate your render. Sent to our rendering provider for that purpose only. | Performance of a contract |
| Render history — the job, room and style chosen, timestamp, credits used | To show your history, run the credit ledger, process refunds, and detect abuse. | Performance of a contract; legitimate interests |
| Device identifier — a random value in a cookie | To count free renders for visitors who have not signed up. | Legitimate interests (preventing abuse of a free tier) |
| IP address | Rate limiting and abuse prevention. Stored as a daily counter, and on first sight of a device. | Legitimate interests |
| Payment records — amount, plan, Stripe customer id | To grant credits and keep financial records. | Contract; legal obligation |
| Referring page and campaign tags | To understand which marketing actually works. | Legitimate interests |
We never receive your full card number. Payments are handled by Stripe; we store only the identifiers Stripe gives us.
3. Your photos, specifically
Photos you upload are transmitted to our rendering provider (Stability AI) to produce your image. They are processed to generate your output and to operate the service.
We do not use your uploads or your renders to train machine learning models. We do not sell them. We do not use them in our own marketing unless you give separate written permission.
A photo of a property interior can reveal a great deal — an address plate, a document on a counter, a face in a photograph on the wall. Please review an image before uploading it, and avoid uploading photos containing identifiable people or readable personal documents.
4. Who we share with
We share personal information only with processors who help us run the service:
- Stability AI — image generation. Receives your uploaded photo and the generated prompt.
- Stripe — payment processing. Receives your email and payment details directly.
- Our email provider — transactional email (sign-in codes and receipts). Receives your email address and message content. Where no email provider is configured, we send no email at all and your address is used only to identify your account.
- Railway — hosting and infrastructure.
We may also disclose information where legally required, or to protect our rights or someone's safety. If the business is ever sold or merged, account information may transfer as part of it; we would notify you first.
We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising.
5. How long we keep it
| Data | Kept for |
|---|---|
| Uploaded photos | Not stored after your render completes. We transmit, render, return, and discard. |
| Generated images | Returned to your browser and not retained on our servers. Download what you want to keep. |
| Render history metadata | Life of the account, then deleted with it |
| Account and email | Until you delete your account |
| Payment records | As long as tax and accounting law requires, typically 7 years |
| Device and IP counters | Rolling, cleared periodically |
Because we do not retain your renders, we cannot re-send an image you lost. Download each result you care about. This is a deliberate privacy choice, and it has this cost.
6. Cookies
We use one cookie, and it is not for advertising.
| Cookie | Purpose | Life |
|---|---|---|
rs_device |
A random identifier that counts how many free renders an anonymous visitor has used. Strictly necessary to operate the free tier. | 12 months |
Your sign-in token is kept in your browser's local storage, not in a cookie. Clearing site data signs you out and resets your anonymous free-render count.
If we later add analytics or advertising cookies, we will ask for consent first and update this policy.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- access the personal information we hold about you;
- correct it if it is wrong;
- delete it;
- receive a portable copy;
- object to or restrict certain processing; and
- withdraw consent where processing relies on it.
California residents have rights under the CCPA/CPRA to know, delete, correct, and to opt out of sale or sharing. We do not sell or share personal information, so there is nothing to opt out of. We will not discriminate against you for exercising a right.
EEA and UK residents may lodge a complaint with their supervisory authority. Where we transfer data outside your region we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
To exercise any right, email privacy@studiotools.design. We will respond within 30 days. You can delete your account and its data at any time from within the app.
8. Security
Traffic is encrypted in transit with TLS. Sign-in tokens are stored as hashes, never in plaintext. Sign-in codes expire after 15 minutes and lock after five wrong attempts. Administrative endpoints require a separate secret.
No system is perfectly secure. If you find a vulnerability, please tell us at legal@studiotools.design before disclosing it publicly, and we will work with you.
9. Children
Restage is a business tool and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If we learn that we have, we will delete it.
10. Changes
We will post any update here with a new date. If a change materially affects how we use your information, we will email your account address before it takes effect.
