This Data Privacy Agreement ("Agreement" or "DPA") is entered into by and between Fotoflow, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company, with a mailing address of 330 Chardon Ave, Chardon, Ohio 44024 ("Provider"), and the customer accepting this Agreement or entering into an order form, subscription, or other agreement for use of the Services ("Customer").
This Agreement governs Provider's processing of Customer Data in connection with Customer's use of StudioEventFlow through studioeventflow.com.

3. Scope
This Agreement applies to Provider's processing of Customer Data on behalf of Customer in connection with Customer's use of the Services.
This Agreement supplements any Terms of Service, subscription agreement, order form, or other commercial agreement between the parties. If there is a conflict between this Agreement and another agreement between the parties solely with respect to privacy, security, or processing of Customer Data, this Agreement will control to that extent.
4. Relationship of the Parties
Customer controls the Customer Data submitted to the Services and is responsible for determining whether its collection, disclosure, and use of Customer Data is lawful.
Provider processes Customer Data on behalf of Customer solely for the limited business purpose of:
- providing the Services,
- maintaining, supporting, and securing the Services,
- troubleshooting, monitoring, and improving the reliability and performance of the Services,
- complying with applicable law,
- enforcing contractual rights,
- generating aggregated or de-identified analytics that do not identify Customer or any natural person.
Provider does not sell Customer Data.
Provider does not use Customer Data for targeted advertising unrelated to providing the Services.
5. No Subject Image Storage; No Facial Recognition or Biometric Processing
Provider does not upload, host, store, archive, or maintain subject portrait images through the Services.
Provider does not perform:
- face detection,
- facial recognition,
- biometric identification,
- biometric template creation,
- facial geometry analysis,
- identity matching based on facial characteristics,
- or any similar biometric processing.
If Customer or a third-party photography vendor handles subject images outside the Services, such image processing is outside the scope of this Agreement unless expressly agreed in writing by Provider.
6. Customer Responsibilities
Customer represents, warrants, and agrees that:
- it has all rights, permissions, notices, and consents necessary to provide Customer Data to Provider and authorize Provider to process Customer Data as contemplated by this Agreement;
- it will use the Services in compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and contractual obligations;
- it will not submit Customer Data unless authorized to do so;
- it is responsible for the accuracy, quality, legality, and means by which it obtained Customer Data;
- if School Data is involved, it has authority to disclose such School Data to Provider.
7. Ownership of Data
As between the parties, Customer retains all right, title, and interest in and to Customer Data.
Provider retains all right, title, and interest in and to:
- the Services,
- software, code, interfaces, workflows, documentation, and know-how,
- system configurations,
- usage statistics, performance data, and analytics that are aggregated or de-identified so they do not identify Customer or any individual.
Nothing in this Agreement transfers ownership of Customer Data to Provider.
8. Provider Processing Commitments
Provider will:
- process Customer Data only as necessary to provide the Services and as permitted by this Agreement;
- limit access to Customer Data to personnel and contractors who have a legitimate need to know in order to provide, support, secure, or improve the Services;
- require personnel and contractors with access to Customer Data to be bound by confidentiality obligations;
- implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect Customer Data from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction;

Provider will maintain a written information security program reasonably appropriate to the nature of the Services and the sensitivity of the Customer Data processed.
Such safeguards may include, as appropriate:

- authentication procedures,
- role-based access restrictions,
- encryption in transit where appropriate,
- secure hosting practices,
- logging and monitoring,
- vulnerability management,
- backup and recovery procedures,
- workforce confidentiality and security awareness practices.
Provider does not warrant that any security measure is infallible, but Provider will use commercially reasonable efforts to protect Customer Data.

To the extent known and reasonably available at the time, the notice will include:
- a description of the nature of the Security Incident,
- the categories of Customer Data affected,
- the measures taken or proposed to address the Security Incident,
- and information reasonably requested by Customer to support Customer's response obligations.
Provider's notification of a Security Incident is not an admission of fault or liability.
12. Subprocessors
Customer authorizes Provider to use Subprocessors as reasonably necessary to provide the Services, including providers of hosting, infrastructure, storage, support, communications, security, analytics, or related operational services.
Provider will:

Upon termination or expiration of Customer's account, and upon written request made within a reasonable time after termination, Provider will make commercially reasonable efforts to:
- provide Customer an export of Customer Data in a commonly used format where available, or

Provider may retain Customer Data:
- as required by law,
- for archival backup purposes,
- to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims,
- or to comply with internal recordkeeping, audit, and security requirements,
provided that any retained Customer Data remains protected under this Agreement.
15. Legal Process and Required Disclosure
If Provider receives a subpoena, court order, governmental request, or other legally binding demand for Customer Data, Provider may disclose Customer Data to the extent required by law.
Where legally permitted, Provider will use reasonable efforts to notify Customer before disclosure so Customer may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy.
Upon reasonable written request, and no more than once per calendar year unless a Security Incident has occurred, Provider will provide information reasonably necessary to confirm Provider's compliance with the material privacy and security obligations in this Agreement, subject to confidentiality, security, privilege, and operational limitations.
Nothing in this section requires Provider to disclose:
- trade secrets,
- internal security testing results,
- information that could compromise Provider's systems or other customers,
- or information restricted by law or contractual duty to third parties.
17. Compliance with Privacy Laws
Each party will comply with the privacy and data protection laws applicable to it in connection with the Services.
Customer is responsible for determining which laws apply to its use of the Services and its submission of Customer Data, including any requirements relating to employee data, school data, or student data.

If Customer uses the Services in connection with schools, school districts, students, or related educational activities:
