3. Data Location
We and our authorized Service Providers (defined below) maintain, store and process Personal Data in India, and other locations as reasonably necessary for the proper performance and delivery of our Services, or as may be required by law.
While privacy laws may vary between jurisdictions, Frameley and its affiliates and Service Providers are each committed to protect Personal Data in accordance with this Privacy Policy, customary industry standards, and such appropriate lawful mechanisms and contractual terms requiring adequate data protection, regardless of any lesser legal requirements that may apply in the jurisdiction from which such data originated.
4. Data Retention
We retain data solely as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
To determine the appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Data, the purposes for which we process your Personal Data and whether those purposes can be achieved through other means, as well as applicable legal requirements.
We will also keep and use such Personal Data for as long as is required in order to comply with our legal and contractual obligations, or to protect ourselves from any potential disputes (i.e., as required by laws applicable to records and bookkeeping, and in order to have proof and evidence concerning our relationship or your use of our Services, should any legal issues arise in the future), in accordance with our data retention policy.
Images in particular will be retained until your account has been terminated, either by us or by you. Any Images which have been uploaded to the Services but were not eventually chosen to be printed on frames will be automatically deleted, after thirty (30) days from the day you have uploaded the Image(s).

Please note that unless required by applicable law, we will not be obligated to retain your data for any particular period, and are free to securely delete it for any reason and at any time, with or without notice to you.
If you have any questions about our data retention policy, please contact us at: [email protected].
5. Data Sharing
Legal Compliance: we may disclose or allow government and law enforcement officials access to certain Personal Data, in response to a subpoena, search warrant or court order (or similar requirement), or in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Such disclosure or access may occur if we believe that we are legally compelled to do so and solely to the extent that we believe is strictly necessary to comply, or that such disclosure is appropriate in connection with efforts to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding actual or suspected illegal activity, fraud, or other wrongdoing.
Service Providers: we may engage selected business partners, third-party companies and individuals, affiliates, subcontractor and sub-processors (collectively “Service Providers”) to perform services complementary to our own (e.g. manufacturing, printing and shipping services, payment processing, IT and system administration services, data backup, security and storage services, data analytics, marketing etc.). These Service Providers may have access to some or all of your Personal Data processed by us, depending on each of their specific roles and purposes in facilitating and enhancing our Services, and may only use it for such purposes.
Sharing your Feedback or Recommendations: If you submit a public review or feedback, note that we may (at our discretion) store and present your review to other users of our Sites and Services. If you wish to remove your public review, please contact us at [email protected]. If you choose to send others an e-mail or message inviting them to use the Services (including via the Referral Program), we will use the contact information you provide us to automatically send such invitation e-mail or message on your behalf. Your name and e-mail address may be included in the invitation e-mail or message.
Protecting Rights and Safety: We may share your Personal Data with others if we believe in good faith that this will help protect the rights, property or personal safety of Frameley, any of our Users or any members of the general public.
Frameley Subsidiaries and Affiliated Companies: Change of Control: Should Frameley or any of its affiliates undergo any change in control or ownership, including by means of merger, acquisition or purchase of its assets, or will be found eligible for a governmental grant, your Personal Data may be shared (to the extent necessary and customary) with the parties involved in such an event. If we believe that such event might materially affect your Personal Data then stored with us, we will notify you of this event and the choices you may have via e-mail or prominent notice on our Services.
For the avoidance of doubt, Frameley may share and transfer your Personal Data in additional manners, pursuant to your explicit approval; if we are legally obligated to do so; or if we have successfully rendered such data non-personal and anonymous. We may transfer, share or otherwise use non-personal data in our sole discretion and without the need for further approval.
6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our Services and some of our Service Providers utilize "cookies", anonymous identifiers, container tags and other tracking technologies which help us provide, secure, analyze and improve our Services, personalize your experience and monitor and analyze the performance of our activities and campaigns.
Such cookies and similar files or tags may also be temporarily placed on your device. Certain cookies and other technologies serve to recall Personal Data, such as an IP address, previously indicated by a User.
Please note that we do not change our practices in response to a “Do Not Track” signal in the HTTP header from a browser or mobile application, however, most browsers allow you to control cookies, including whether or not to accept them and how to remove them. You may set most browsers to notify you if you receive a cookie, or you may choose to block cookies with your browser.
7. Communications
Service Communications: we may contact you with important information regarding our Services. For example, we may notify you (through any of the means available to us) of order summaries and shipping updates, changes or updates to our Services, billing issues, etc. You will not be able to opt-out of receiving such service communications.
Notifications and Promotional Communications: we may send you messages and notifications about new features, offerings, events and special opportunities, and any other information we think our Users will find valuable. We may provide such notices through any of the contact means available to us (e.g. SMS, mobile notifications or e-mail), through the Services, or through our marketing campaigns on any other sites or platforms.
If you wish not to receive such promotional communications via SMS, notifications or e-mail, you may notify Frameley at any time by e-mailing us at [email protected] or by following the "unsubscribe", "stop" or "change e-mail preferences" instructions contained in the promotional communications you receive.
8. Data Security
In order to protect your Personal Data held with us and our Service Providers, we are using industry-standard physical, procedural and electronic security measures (such as access control, secure servers, firewalls, internal policies, encryption, database backup etc.). However, please be aware that regardless of any security measures used, we cannot and do not guarantee the absolute protection and security of any Personal Data stored with us or with any third-parties.
9. Data Subject Rights
Individuals have rights concerning their Personal Data. If you wish to exercise your privacy rights under the laws that apply to you (for example, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)), such as the right to request access to, and rectification or erasure of your Personal Data held with Frameley, or to restrict or object to such Personal Data’s processing, or to port such Personal Data, or the right to equal services and prices (each to the extent available to you under the laws which apply to you) – please contact us by e-mail at: [email protected].
Please also note that some of your Personal Data may be processed by other parties acting as ‘data controllers’, as detailed in Section 10 below, such as Facebook and Google. For any requests to exercise such rights with respect to such parties’ processing activities, please contact the relevant party directly.
When you ask us to exercise any of your rights under this Privacy Policy or applicable law, we may need to ask you to provide us certain credentials to make sure that you are who you claim you are, to avoid disclosure of Personal Data relating to other individuals, and to ask you to provide further information to better understand the nature and scope of data that you wish to access or have deleted etc. Such additional data will be then retained by us for legal purposes (e.g. as proof of the identity of the person submitting the request), in accordance with Section 4 above. We may redact from the data which we will make available to you, any personal data related to others.
10. Data Controller/Processor
Certain data protection laws and regulations, such as the GDPR or the CCPA, typically distinguish between two main roles for parties processing Personal Data: the “data controller” (or under the CCPA, “business”), who determines the purposes and means of processing; and the “data processor” (or under the CCPA, “service provider”), who processes the data on behalf of the data controller (or business). Below we explain how these roles apply to our Services, to the extent that such laws and regulations apply.
Frameley is the “data controller” of its Users’ data, and assumes the responsibilities of data controller (solely to the extent applicable under law), as set forth in this Privacy Policy. In such instances, our Service Providers processing such data will assume the role of “data processor”.
Frameley is a “co-controller” of certain portions of its Users’ data, alongside such Service Providers that process Personal Data for both Frameley’s analytics and marketing purposes - and the Service Providers’ own purposes. In such cases, such Service Providers (e.g. Facebook and Google) will in such circumstances be deemed as “co-controllers” of such data, which would typically relate to Users who also use the Service Provider’s own platforms. If you wish to limit such independent activities by these Service Providers, consider disabling third-party cookies as detailed in Section 6 above.
