Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)

Service operator: Jakub Ciepielowski.

1. Purpose

This policy sets out what is allowed and what is prohibited when using Picvelo. It applies to all users and supplements the Terms and Conditions.

2. Prohibited Content

You must not upload or share content that:

is unlawful, including child sexual abuse material (CSAM),
infringes others' copyright, trademarks, or personal rights,
violates third parties' privacy or contains personal data without a legal basis,
incites hatred, violence, or discrimination.

3. Prohibited Actions

When using Picvelo, you must not:

attempt unauthorized access to accounts, data, or infrastructure,
test vulnerabilities, scan, or circumvent security measures other than through the responsible vulnerability disclosure process described in our security.txt file (/.well-known/security.txt),
mass-harvest data (scraping), automate abuse, or send spam,
place excessive load on the infrastructure in a way that threatens service stability,
decompile, reverse-engineer, or copy parts of the service without permission,
use the service for fraud, impersonation, or deception.

4. Resources and Fair Use

Plan limits (number of albums, clients, storage) are described in the pricing. Resource use should match normal use of a photo gallery service.

5. Responsibility for Client Accounts

As a photographer, you are responsible for the accounts you create for your clients and for obtaining their consent to process personal data within Picvelo.

6. Enforcement

Violating this policy may result in a warning and, in serious or repeated cases, in termination of the contract and permanent deletion of the account together with its content. For unlawful content, we may notify the relevant authorities.

7. Reporting Abuse

Report abuse and violations to: [email protected] (please write "Violation report" in the subject line). We also accept reports from people who are not users of the service, for example if you believe that a gallery contains content infringing your rights. We consider every report without undue delay, no later than within 14 business days, and inform the reporting party of the action taken.
