Privacy policy
Last updated September 29, 2026
Lapel creates AI-generated headshots from photos you upload. This policy explains what we collect, why, and how long we keep it.
What we collect
- Your email address, to deliver your headshots and send receipts.
- The selfies you upload, used only to create your headshots.
- Your generated headshots, so you can download them.
- Order details such as the pack, style, amount paid and dates.
Payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number.
How we use your photos
- To generate your headshots with our AI image provider, which processes them only to fulfil your order.
- So a member of our team can review your finished set before it is sent.
We never use your photos in advertising, examples or marketing, and we never sell them.
How long we keep things
- Selfies: deleted automatically 7 days after delivery. Uploads from checkouts that were never paid are deleted after 2 days.
- Generated headshots: deleted automatically 30 days after delivery. Download them before then.
- Order records (email, pack, amount, dates) are kept as long as needed for accounting, tax and fraud prevention.
Service providers
We rely on a small number of providers to run Lapel: Vercel (hosting and private file storage), Stripe (payments), Higgsfield (AI image generation) and our email delivery provider. Each processes data only as needed to provide its service.
Your choices
You can ask us to delete your selfies, headshots or order information at any time, or ask what we hold about you. Reply to your order email or write to hello@lapelheadshots.com and we will act on it promptly.
Children
Lapel is for adults. Do not upload photos of anyone under 18.
Changes
If we change this policy we will update the date above. Material changes will be highlighted on this page.
