Privacy Policy
1. Information We Collect
Picstow values the integrity of your personal archives. Unlike other providers, our business model relies completely on premium subscription models rather than advertising metrics.
A. Voluntarily Submitted Data
When initializing a portal, we store details like your email handle, billing attributes (routed securely via third-party processors), and user configuration credentials.
B. Media Files & Metadata
By default, all stored media, EXIF location markers, and custom album folder logs are transmitted in encrypted strings. We do not index individual tags or collect metrics inside custom albums.
2. Zero-Knowledge Cryptography
Your personal vault uses an advanced client-side cryptographic standard known as Zero-Knowledge Protocol.
- Zero Keys Stored: We do not log, review, or store your Master Password on cloud databases.
- Client-Decrypt: Decryption processes occur directly in your local browser sandbox or native client.
- No Recovery: Our support administrators are unable to reset passwords. If your master keys are lost, files remains permanently encrypted.
3. How We Secure Data
All digital stowed archives are subject to enterprise security policies:
We protect transmission using Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.3) protocols. Data written to drive volumes is encrypted under strict Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with a 256-bit key length.
5. GDPR & CCPA Compliance
Regardless of jurisdiction, all Picstow customers enjoy full GDPR and CCPA rights:
- Right to Restrict Processing: You can opt in or out of telemetry metrics easily within your settings.
- Right to Portability: You may request bulk downloads of all stored metadata and assets in JSON formats.
- Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): You maintain the absolute right to destroy files instantly.
