Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026

1. Who We Are

dtstyles is a community platform for sharing Darktable styles. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why, and how it is used.

2. Data We Collect

Account information

When you register, we store your display name, email address, and a hashed password (or, if you use OAuth, a reference to your provider account — no password is stored).

Uploaded styles

Styles you upload are stored on the server and publicly available. Your display name is shown as the author.

Usage data

We record aggregate counts such as votes and downloads per style. We do not run third-party analytics trackers.

Images you try styles on

When you use the "Try with your image" feature, your photo is sent to the Darktable API for processing and returned to you immediately. Neither the uploaded photo nor the processed result is stored on our server.

3. How We Use Your Data

  • To operate and secure your account.
  • To display your display name alongside your uploaded styles.
  • To send transactional emails (e.g. email verification, password reset).
  • We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

4. Cookies & Local Storage

We use a session cookie to keep you logged in. Theme and language preferences are stored in your browser's local storage. No third-party tracking cookies are used.

5. Data Retention

Your account data is retained for as long as your account is active. Styles you upload remain public unless you request removal. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (including under the GDPR), you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data. To exercise these rights, please contact us via the About page.

7. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your data. Passwords are hashed and never stored in plain text. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top will reflect any changes.
