1. Who we are

PHOTOHUNTER is operated by NAZAR BOHUN CONSULTING LLC DBA PHOTOHUNTER, a Massachusetts limited liability company. Our website connects photographers offering digital photographs with customers purchasing photo downloads. We primarily serve the United States and also accept international customers.

This policy explains how we handle information about website visitors, customers, photographers and people pictured in photographs, including people who do not have an account.

For privacy questions or requests, email admin@photohunter.pro, call +1 (978) 339-9464, or write to:

2. Information we collect

Depending on how you use the service, we collect:

  • Account and profile information: name, email address, phone number, password, account role, referral information, profile images, country, biography, website and social-media links.
  • Photographs and related information: uploaded files, album and photo details, and information contained in those files. Photographers may upload images of adults or children who do not have an account.
  • Order and payment information: photos ordered, order references, purchase date, amounts, currencies, payment status and payment references.
  • Photographer payout information: name, requested amount and payout-destination information supplied with a withdrawal request.
  • Communications: contact details and information provided in support messages, refund requests, privacy requests and photo-removal reports.
  • Technical and usage information: IP address, browser and device information, requested pages and resources, website interactions, cookie and session information, and diagnostic or security information generated when the service is used.

We receive information directly from you, from photographers uploading photographs or related information, from payment and other service providers, and automatically through the website and the services described below. We use IP-derived country information to help select default language and currency settings.

3. How we use information

We use information to maintain accounts and photographer profiles; host, display and deliver photographs; process purchases, refunds and photographer earnings; send service communications such as order-link emails; answer questions and handle privacy or photo-removal requests; understand website use; troubleshoot problems; protect the service against fraud and abuse; and maintain records needed for payments, disputes and legal obligations.

We do not currently send promotional emails or text messages or use customer photographs in PHOTOHUNTER's own advertising, promotional homepage images or promotional social-media posts.

We do not currently use facial recognition to find or identify people in photographs, or use or provide photographs for AI model training, including through outside services.

4. Public information and information we share

Profiles and photographs. Website visitors can view photographer profiles and photo previews. A photographer's public profile can include their name, phone number, profile images, country, biography, website, social links and activity counts. Only include information you intend to make visible there.

Photographers can view information about orders containing their photos, including order number, date, amount, currency, payment status and the photos included in the order. Anyone with an order link may be able to view the order and access available downloads. Keep order links private.

Service providers. We disclose information to companies that help operate the service, including hosting and storage providers, payment providers, email and other service-message providers, security and technical-support providers, analytics providers, and providers of website resources and embedded content. They receive information relevant to those functions, such as files and account records for hosting, payment details for transactions, contact details for service communications, or connection and usage information for website services.

Customer payments are processed through Stripe. Checkout information includes the customer's email address, order references, amounts and currencies. We retain order and payment records for the service. Photographer payout details are handled separately from customer checkout. See Stripe's Privacy Policy for its handling of information.

Our infrastructure providers include Amazon Web Services and Hetzner. We use infrastructure in the United States and Germany, and PHOTOHUNTER is administered from the United States. Information may be processed outside your home country, including where our providers operate. This policy does not promise that information stays exclusively in the United States.

We may disclose information when legally required, such as in response to a valid court order or other binding legal process.

We do not sell or rent customer lists or provide uploaded photographs to advertisers for their marketing. Third-party website services can separately collect usage information as described in the next section.

5. Cookies, analytics and third-party content

We use cookies and session information for sign-in, shopping-cart selections and your selected currency.

The website loads Google Analytics for website usage measurement, Google reCAPTCHA for protection against automated abuse, and embedded YouTube videos. These services may use cookies or similar technologies and receive information such as your IP address, browser and device information, page addresses and interactions. Embedded content may connect to its provider when the page loads, before you interact with it.

Third parties, including Google through its analytics and video services, may collect information about your activity over time and across different websites. Their use of information depends on the services and settings involved. For Google Analytics and YouTube, see Google's Privacy Policy and how Google uses information from websites using its services. reCAPTCHA processes information for security, fraud prevention and abuse prevention.

We also load website resources from providers including jsDelivr, Font Awesome and cdnjs. These providers receive connection information when your browser requests their resources.

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings and use browser controls to block third-party content. Some features, including sign-in, cart selections, security checks and videos, may not work properly when blocked. Google also provides privacy and activity controls and a Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. These controls have different scopes; an analytics opt-out does not stop all other website processing.

PHOTOHUNTER continues to load the Google services described above when a browser sends a Do Not Track request. Google states that its services do not change their behavior in response to these requests. Do Not Track alone therefore does not prevent collection by those services.

6. Retention, photo availability and backups

Photos initially receive an expiration date 14 calendar days after upload. When an order containing a photo is created while 14 days or fewer remain before its existing expiration date, another 14 calendar days are added to that existing date. This can happen before payment, and further qualifying orders can extend the date again. Download your purchased files before their availability expires.

Photo availability is separate from the retention of account, transaction and other records. An expiration date or account closure does not mean that all related records or service copies are erased immediately.

We review records manually and delete them when they are no longer needed to provide the service, process payments or payouts, handle support and removal requests, maintain security, resolve disputes or meet required recordkeeping obligations. The period depends on the type of record and why it is needed. For example, closing an account does not require us to delete transaction records that must still be kept for those purposes.

We do not maintain backup copies of uploaded photographs. We maintain a database backup containing account and order records; each new database backup replaces the previous backup. Information removed from the active database may remain in that backup until it is replaced or deleted. Service copies, such as previews and download archives, are separate from backups.

7. Your choices and privacy requests

Account settings let you review account details, change editable profile fields and close your account. Contact us for help with information you cannot change there. Closing an account does not automatically erase its associated records.

To request access to, correction of, or deletion of information about you, email admin@photohunter.pro. We may ask only for information reasonably needed to identify the records and verify the requester or their authority to act. We will explain the action taken or why information must be retained. Any additional rights, response periods and exceptions required by applicable law remain available.

Keep account credentials and order links private. No internet service or method of storage can guarantee complete security. Contact us if you believe someone has gained unauthorized access to your account or order.

8. Children and photographs of other people

You must be 18 or older to create an account or make a purchase. A parent or legal guardian must make purchases for a child under 18. If you believe a child has provided information directly to us contrary to this rule, contact us so we can investigate and address it as required by applicable law.

Photographers must obtain permission from identifiable people pictured before uploading and offering their photographs through PHOTOHUNTER. For a child under 18, permission must come from a parent or legal guardian. Written consent is required where applicable law requires it; verbal permission does not replace required written consent.

Any future use of uploaded photographs in PHOTOHUNTER's own advertising, promotional homepage images or promotional social-media posts requires separate written permission from the copyright owner and each identifiable person pictured, including a parent or legal guardian for a child. Uploading or purchasing a photograph does not itself provide that permission.

9. Report an unauthorized photograph

If a photograph of you—or a child for whom you are the parent or legal guardian—was uploaded without permission, email admin@photohunter.pro or call +1 (978) 339-9464. Include a link or enough details to identify the photograph. You do not need an account or the photographer's cooperation.

We will remove access to the reported unauthorized photograph through the service within 24 elapsed hours after receiving enough information to identify it, including weekends and holidays, even if the photographer does not respond. This photo-removal deadline is separate from the handling of other privacy requests. Removing access through PHOTOHUNTER cannot erase copies already saved by other people.

10. Changes to this policy

When we make material changes, we will post a clear summary at the top of this page and update the effective date. We will provide additional notice or obtain consent where required by applicable law.
