Privacy Policy
Toptan Studio is built so your photos, videos and audio recordings stay on your computer. This policy explains the small amount of personal data we do handle, why, and how to contact us.
1. Who we are
Toptan Studio is operated by Ahmet Faruk Acar, Istanbul, Türkiye (“we”, “us”), who is the controller of the data described here. Contact: [email protected].
2. Your media never leaves your computer
- Photos, videos and audio files you open in the app are processed locally and saved locally. Audio is never uploaded.
- We never receive, store or train on your media files, file names or folder paths.
- The app contains no analytics and no crash reporting.
3. What the app sends to us
- Account: your email address, used to sign you in with a one-time code and to link your purchases.
- Devices: an anonymous device identifier (a one-way hash, not your hardware serial), your computer’s name, its platform (macOS or Windows) and when it last checked its license. This enforces the free-trial and two-device rules.
- License: your trial and access dates for each module, and the purchase and refund records needed to calculate them.
- Technical data: your IP address is used briefly to limit sign-in attempts and protect the service. Downloading models and checking for updates are plain file requests that carry no account information.
4. Payments
Purchases are processed by Paddle.com, our reseller and Merchant of Record. Paddle collects your payment details, billing address and tax information directly and handles them under its own privacy policy. We never see your card details. Paddle tells us which modules and how many months you bought, linked to your Toptan Studio account, and notifies us of refunds.
5. The website
toptan.studio uses Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate visits (for example page views and download-button clicks). It may set cookies depending on your browser settings. Our hosting provider processes standard request logs (IP address, browser, time) to operate and secure the site.
6. Service providers
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with providers that help us run the service:
- Paddle — payments, tax, invoices and refunds
- Cloudflare — website, API and database hosting, file downloads, security
- Resend — delivery of sign-in code emails
- Google Analytics — website analytics (website only, not the app)
7. Legal bases (where GDPR/UK GDPR applies)
- Contract — creating your account, signing you in, providing trials and paid access
- Legal obligation — keeping purchase records
- Legitimate interests — preventing abuse of sign-in and trials, securing the service, and limited website analytics
8. Retention
- Account, device and license data — kept while your account exists; deleted on request, except purchase records we must keep for tax and accounting.
- Sign-in codes — stored only as a hash and expire after 10 minutes.
- Website analytics — according to our Google Analytics retention settings.
9. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, export or restrict processing of your personal data, and to complain to your data protection authority. To delete your account or exercise any right, email [email protected] from your account’s email address.
10. Children
Toptan Studio is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their personal data.
11. International transfers
Our providers may process data in the United States, the European Union or other countries. Where required, we rely on the safeguards those providers offer, such as standard contractual clauses.
12. Changes
We may update this policy as the product evolves. The “Last updated” date changes when we do.
