Who We Are
We are by Trent Bailey, a wedding photography studio based in New York City. We also develop les Archives, a macOS desktop application for wedding photographers that catalogs images using AI and publishes content to social media platforms. Our website is www.trentbailey.com.
What Information We Collect
Through Our Website
When you visit our website or submit a contact form, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, wedding date, and venue details. We also automatically collect technical information like your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and referring sites through cookies and similar technologies.
Through les Archives (Desktop Application)
les Archives is a native macOS application that runs locally on your computer. When you connect a social media account, we access only what is necessary to publish content on your behalf:
Instagram and Threads (via Meta): Your Instagram Business or Creator account name, profile ID, and the ability to publish photos, carousels, and stories to your feed. We access this through Meta’s Graph API using the instagram_basic and instagram_content_publish permissions. We do not access your direct messages, follower lists, or personal profile information beyond what is needed to identify your publishing account.
Threads (via Meta): Your Threads account ID and the ability to publish text and image posts. We access this through the Threads API using your authorized access token.
Pinterest: Your Pinterest username, account ID, board names, and the ability to create pins. We access this through Pinterest’s API v5 using OAuth 2.0 with PKCE. We do not access your saved pins, followers, or browsing activity.
Cloudinary (Image Hosting): When publishing to social platforms, local images are temporarily uploaded to Cloudinary (a cloud image hosting service) to generate a public URL required by the platform APIs. These temporary uploads are automatically deleted after publishing is complete.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to respond to your inquiries and deliver photography services, send updates about your session or wedding, share blog content and gallery links, publish content to social media platforms you have explicitly connected and authorized, generate AI-powered image descriptions, captions, and keywords within the les Archives application, and improve the functionality of our website and applications. We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or any purpose other than the services described above.
Data Storage and Security
les Archives Application Data
All catalog data (image metadata, captions, keywords, tags, and AI-generated content) is stored locally on your computer in an encrypted SQLite database. This data never leaves your machine unless you explicitly publish content to a connected social platform.
Access Tokens
Social media access tokens (for Instagram, Threads, and Pinterest) are stored locally on your machine within the application’s secure settings. Tokens are never transmitted to our servers or any third party. Instagram and Threads tokens are valid for 60 days and can be refreshed within the app. Pinterest tokens are valid for 30 days. The application tracks token expiration dates and alerts you when renewal is needed.
Temporary Image Uploads
When publishing to Instagram, Threads, or Pinterest, local images are temporarily uploaded to Cloudinary to provide the public URL required by each platform’s API. These temporary copies are automatically deleted immediately after the social platform confirms the post was created, typically within seconds. We do not retain copies of your images on any cloud service.
Third-Party Services
Our website and applications connect to third-party services, each governed by their own privacy policies. These include Meta (Instagram and Threads) at facebook.com/privacy/policy, Pinterest at policy.pinterest.com/privacy-policy, Cloudinary at cloudinary.com/privacy, Anthropic (Claude AI) at anthropic.com/privacy, Squarespace at squarespace.com/privacy, and Google Analytics at policies.google.com/privacy. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with any third party for their marketing purposes.
Revoking Access and Deleting Data
Disconnecting Social Accounts
You can disconnect any social media account at any time from the Settings panel within les Archives. Disconnecting an account immediately deletes the stored access token from your machine. No further API calls will be made to that platform on your behalf. You can also revoke les Archives’ access directly from each platform’s settings: for Instagram and Threads, go to Settings > Security > Apps and Websites in the Instagram app; for Pinterest, go to Settings > Apps in your Pinterest account.
Deleting Your Data
Since all les Archives catalog data is stored locally on your computer, deleting the application removes all stored data. For website inquiries and contact form submissions, you may request deletion by emailing us at hello@trentbailey.com. We will process your request within 30 days.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies to improve your browsing experience and analyze website traffic. You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences. les Archives (the desktop application) does not use cookies.
Children’s Privacy
Our services are not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will take steps to delete it promptly.
Your Rights
You have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you, correct any inaccurate information, request deletion of your data, opt out of marketing communications, and request a copy of your data in a portable format. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@trentbailey.com.
Policy Updates
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of our services after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
