Are my photos and data safe?

Updated over 5 months ago

Yes - and not just because we say so. We built Headshotly with the mindset that your face, your data, and your identity deserve the highest level of protection. If you trust us with your photos, it’s our responsibility to protect them.

What Laws & Regulations Do We Follow?

Headshotly operates under and complies with:

European Union GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) - for privacy, data deletion, and user rights

U.S. & Canadian data protection laws - where our servers and services operate

California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) - covering user rights, data access, and deletion

We also follow industry-standard security practices (AES-256 encryption, SSL/TLS, secure cloud storage)

This means you have full rights to your data - to access it, download it, or permanently delete it.

How We Keep Your Data Safe

  • Encrypted uploads & storage - Every photo you upload is encrypted (HTTPS + AES-256).

  • Secure servers - Stored on trusted cloud platforms like AWS, protected with strict access controls.

  • Not used for AI training without permission - Your photos never train public AI models unless you explicitly allow it.

  • Never shared or sold - We do not sell, rent, or expose your data to advertisers or third parties.

  • Auto-deletion policy - Your original uploaded photos are automatically deleted from our system within 7–30 days after model training.

  • You stay in control - You can delete any photo, AI model, or your entire account yourself.

A More Human Promise

We know you’re not just uploading pixels, you’re uploading your face, your identity, your personal brand. That’s why we handle your photos like we would handle our own. No surprises, no hidden training, no silent data selling.

If you ever want your data removed sooner, want written confirmation of deletion, or just want to be 100% sure, email us anytime at [email protected].
