4. Purposes and legal basis
Important information about AI processing
Your uploaded photos are processed by our AI service to generate personalized portraits. This processing is necessary to fulfill your order.
Uploading photos
When you upload a photo, it is temporarily stored and processed by our AI service (Replicate) to generate your personalized portrait.
Data processing
We process your personal data to fulfill your order, including AI generation, production and shipping of your personalized products.
Photo deletion
We keep your uploaded photos for up to 14 days; after that they are deleted automatically, unless you place an order with them. Designs you create but do not order are kept for about 30 days, so you can still order later. The print file of a cropped design is kept for up to 6 months, so a cart you left can still be printed. Designs you order are kept with your order, so we can reprint or replace them. You can always request earlier deletion via info@makemefamous.nl.
5. Retention periods
We do not keep your data longer than necessary:
- Order data: 7 years (legal obligation)
- Uploaded photos: up to 14 days, then deleted automatically (unless you place an order with them)
- Designs you do not order: about 30 days, so you can still order later
- Print files and ordered designs: print files for up to 6 months (so a saved cart can still be printed); designs you order are kept with your order for a reprint or replacement until you ask us to delete them

14. Tracking, Analytics & Advertising
We use various tracking and analytics tools to improve our website, analyze usage and optimize our advertising. These tools are only activated after you have given your consent via our cookie banner.
14.1 Google Tag Manager
We use Google Tag Manager (GTM) by Google Ireland Limited as a tag management system. GTM itself does not collect personal data, but manages the scripts and tags of other services on our website.
14.2 Google Analytics 4
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) by Google Ireland Limited for website analysis. GA4 collects anonymized data about page visits, user behavior, device information and demographic characteristics. IP addresses are anonymized. Data is processed based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
14.3 Google Ads
We use Google Ads by Google Ireland Limited for measuring conversions and displaying targeted advertisements. Cookies are placed to track whether you made a purchase after clicking on an advertisement. Remarketing is also used to show you relevant advertisements based on your previous visit to our website.
14.3.1 Google Ads Customer Match
If you have signed up for our newsletter or for offers via ads, we may share your email address with Google Ireland Limited through Google Ads Customer Match, together with, where known, your phone number, name, country and postcode from your most recent order or your sign-up. We first convert your email address, phone number and name into an irreversible SHA-256 hash; country and postcode are sent unhashed, as Google requires. Google matches this data to Google accounts so that we can show you relevant ads, or deliberately not show you ads (for example because you have already placed an order). Google deletes data it cannot match once matching is complete. This is separate from cookies. If you signed up through a form that mentions ads on Google, the legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). If you subscribed to our newsletter before 23 September 2026, the legal basis is our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) in showing you relevant offers and in not showing ads to existing customers. Either way, you can object or withdraw your consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter (via the link in every email) or by emailing info@makemefamous.nl; you will then be removed from the list at its next (weekly) update.
14.4 Meta Pixel & Events Manager
We use the Meta Pixel and Events Manager by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited for measuring conversions and optimizing advertisements on Facebook and Instagram. The Meta Pixel records actions such as page visits, additions to cart and purchases. This data is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements and to create audiences.
14.5 TikTok Pixel
We use the TikTok Pixel by TikTok Technology Limited for measuring conversions and optimizing advertisements on TikTok. The pixel records website visits and conversion events to measure the effectiveness of our TikTok advertising campaigns.
14.6 Microsoft Clarity
We use Microsoft Clarity by Microsoft Corporation for behavioral analysis via heatmaps and session recordings. Microsoft Clarity automatically masks all images and text content, so personal data is not recorded. More information can be found in the Microsoft Privacy Statement.
14.7 Vercel Analytics
We use Vercel Analytics by Vercel Inc. for monitoring website performance. Vercel Analytics collects anonymized performance data such as load times and Web Vitals, without storing personally identifiable information.
14.8 Legal basis and consent
The use of the above tracking and analytics tools is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw your consent at any time via the cookie settings at the bottom of our website. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing prior to withdrawal. This does not apply to Google Ads Customer Match: its legal basis and how to object or withdraw your consent are described in 14.3.1.
14.9 Opting out
You can disable tracking at any time by adjusting your cookie preferences via the 'Cookie Settings' link at the bottom of each page. Additionally, you can block or delete cookies in your browser settings.
15. International data transfers
Some of the service providers mentioned above are located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), particularly in the United States. We ensure that your data remains adequately protected when transferred outside the EU:
- Service providers certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) provide an adequate level of protection in accordance with the European Commission's adequacy decision.
- For service providers not covered by the DPF, we use European Commission-approved Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as a safeguard for the protection of your data.
