Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

In accordance with GDPR Art. 13(2)(f), we inform you about automated processing of your data:

Behavioural Profiling

We analyse browsing patterns (pages visited, time spent, products viewed) to classify your shopping intent into categories (e.g., casual browser, ready-to-buy). This helps us personalise your experience and show relevant content. No automated decisions with legal effects are made based solely on this profiling.

Marketing Personalisation

With your marketing consent, we use your purchase history and browsing behaviour to show you relevant advertisements on third-party platforms (Meta, TikTok, Google). You can opt out by withdrawing marketing consent in cookie settings.

You have the right to object to profiling under GDPR Art. 21. To exercise this right, contact us at support@bolotstudio.com or withdraw marketing consent in your cookie settings.

Data Retention

The periods below are category-specific guides, not a blanket deletion guarantee. We may retain data longer where needed to comply with law, resolve disputes, protect security, establish or defend legal claims, complete backup cycles, or account for a processor's retention rules. Subject to those needs, data is deleted or anonymized when it is no longer required for the stated purposes.

Order & Transaction Data

Generally 5 years for accounting and tax records, counted under the rule applicable to the relevant year or period; other order data follows contract, claims and legal-necessity periods. Longer holds may apply.

Account Information

Until account deletion request or 3 years of inactivity

Marketing Preferences

Until consent withdrawal, or maximum 3 years from last active engagement

Uploaded Photos

For as long as needed for the selected feature, production, support or claims under the approved schedule. Our deletion and GCS, Gemini or Anthropic processor retention are separate; no immediate or 90-day deletion is promised.

Analytics Data

According to the configured analytics service and consent settings; identifiers, event data and aggregated or anonymized outputs may have different periods.

AI shopping assistant chat

This covers the messages you exchange with our AI shopping assistant and a technical session identifier. We store them on our servers for a maximum of 24 hours, after which they are deleted automatically. You can delete the conversation sooner with the “Clear conversation” control, which removes it from our servers, not only from your browser. Access requests (Art. 15) and erasure requests (Art. 17) include this chat history, for guests as well as signed-in customers.

AI Processing Data

Our workflow retention is separate from processor-side retention. Provider logging and retention depend on the service and account configuration, and Google Cloud Storage objects follow configured lifecycle controls. Contact privacy@bolotstudio.com for current information relevant to your data or request.

Customer Support Records

3 years from last interaction

Consent Records

3 years (GDPR compliance documentation)

Children's Privacy

Our services are not intended for children under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe we have collected data from a child, please contact us immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

We do not sell personal data for money. We disclose data to processors and analytics or advertising providers for the purposes described here. Some laws define sale or sharing more broadly, so the relevant consent or opt-out choices and provider disclosures apply.

Email support@bolotstudio.com. We respond without undue delay and within one month after receiving the request. Where necessary because of the complexity or number of requests, we may extend by two further months; we will notify you within the first month and explain the reasons. Identity verification, legal duties, claims, security, backups and processor retention may affect the scope or timing of erasure.

Uploaded files are used for the selected custom-print or support workflow and may be stored in GCS or processed by Google Gemini/Imagen or Anthropic-supported features. Access and retention follow the applicable workflow, provider settings and legal schedule; we do not promise that a file is never disclosed to a processor.

There is no blanket immediate or 90-day deletion guarantee. The applicable period depends on the feature, production or support need, claims and the approved schedule. Deletion from Bolot-controlled storage is separate from provider logs, backups and retention; contact us for a deletion request.

Yes! Essential cookies are required for basic functionality (shopping cart, checkout), but you can decline analytics and marketing cookies while still using our site. Use your browser settings to manage cookie preferences.
