Privacy Policy
Grad Pro Studios is a graduation photography business in the Philippines. This policy explains what personal information we collect through the Student Portal at gradprostudios.com, why we collect it, and the choices you have. We handle your information in line with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173).
Information we collect
When you register and use the Student Portal, we collect:
- Account details: username, email address, and password.
- Student details you enter: full name, gender, school, college, course, major, contact number, and social media handle.
- Service details: the packages you choose and the pictorial appointments you book.
- Photos taken during your pictorial session and the edited copies we prepare for you.
- Basic, anonymous usage statistics about how the site is used, such as which pages are visited.
Signing in with Google or Facebook
You can register or log in with a Google or Facebook account. When you do, Google or Facebook shares your name, email address, and basic profile information with us. We use it only to create your account, recognize you when you log in, and prefill your email.
We do not post anything on your behalf, and we do not access your contacts, friends, messages, or any other data from your Google or Facebook account.
You can disconnect Google or Facebook at any time from Connected accounts in your dashboard.
How we use your information
- To create and manage your account and verify your email address.
- To schedule your pictorial, process your package, and deliver your photos and products.
- To contact you about your appointment, order, or account.
- To keep accurate student records and prevent duplicate or fraudulent accounts.
Who we share it with
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with the services we use to run the portal, and only as needed:
- Hosting and database providers, including Supabase and Vercel.
- Google and Facebook, if you choose to sign in with them.
- Email services that send verification codes and delivery emails.
We may also disclose information when the law requires it.
How long we keep it
We keep your information while your account is active and for as long as we need it to deliver your photos and keep our service records. You can ask us to delete it at any time; see how to request data deletion.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, and misuse. No online service can guarantee complete security, so please choose a strong password and keep it private.
Your rights
Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the right to be informed about how your data is processed, to access it, to correct it, to object to its processing, and to request that it be erased or blocked. You may also file a complaint with the National Privacy Commission at privacy.gov.ph.
