4. Data Sharing

Anonymous uploads made before March 2024 have no associated account data whatsoever. These images exist on the Service with file metadata only and cannot be linked to any individual.

6. Data Storage

PixServe operates under United States law. All data is stored and processed in the United States. We utilize encrypted storage and access controls to protect user data at rest.

7. International Users

PixServe is operated from the United States. By using PixServe, you consent to the transfer of your data to the United States for processing and storage. If you are accessing the Service from outside the United States, please be aware that your data will be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

8. European Economic Area (GDPR)

PixServe does not maintain an establishment in the EU/EEA and processes only minimal personal data necessary to operate the Service. We do not systematically monitor EU data subjects. We do not use personal data for profiling, automated decision-making, or targeted advertising.

9. Data Deletion

To request deletion of your account and associated data, email privacy@pixserve.cc from the email address associated with your account. We will process your request within 30 days. Upon deletion, we will remove your account information, and uploaded images will be disassociated from your account.

10. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including:

  • Encryption in transit (TLS 1.2 or higher for all connections)
  • Encryption at rest for stored data
  • Restricted access to user data on a need-to-know basis
  • Regular security reviews and updates

No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
