Privacy Policy

This Policy explains how REEL MUSEUM ("the Service") handles personal information. We keep the data we collect to a minimum and handle it carefully.

Last revised: July 14, 2026

To start — we collect very little

The only personal information we hold about members, as a rule, is their email address. We do not store passwords, and we do not store credit card information either (payments are processed by Stripe on the web version, and by the Apple App Store in the iOS app).

1. Business Information

Operator: HUNTER'S DESIGN (Harunobu Miura)
Address: Tagajo City, Miyagi, Japan (disclosed promptly upon request)
Contact for privacy-related inquiries: miuraharu0421@gmail.com

2. Information We Collect

Type of information	Details	When collected
Email address	Used for registration and login (sending a 6-digit login code)	At registration
Display name / credit name	Name or handle shown when a photo is submitted (optional)	When submitting a photo
Submitted photos and metadata	Images of reels, model, condition, comments, social media handle (optional), etc.	When submitting a photo
Membership tier and usage data	Membership tier, AI appraisal usage count, number of approved photos, badges, etc.	While using the Service
Payment-related information	Customer ID and subscription status issued by the payment processor (Stripe on the web / Apple App Store in the app) (we do not store card numbers or similar data)	When signing up for paid membership
Technical information	Login tokens and settings stored in the browser (localStorage / cookies)	While using the Service

Location data (GPS) in submitted photos

Location data embedded in a submitted photo (GPS and similar Exif metadata) is automatically stripped on the user's device before the photo is sent. Shooting-location data never reaches our servers.

3. Purpose of Use

We use the information we collect only for the following purposes.

Authenticating members, sending login codes, and identity verification
Providing and operating the Service (catalog, appraisal, AI appraisal, My Collection, etc.)
Processing payments and managing billing status for paid membership (via Stripe on the web / Apple App Store in the app)
Reviewing submitted photos, featuring them in the catalog, and displaying credit names
Using submitted photos for the Service and its promotion/advertising (within the scope of the license in Article 7 of the Terms of Service)
Responding to inquiries and sending important notices
Preventing misuse and spam, and improving the Service

4. Disclosure to Third Parties

Except where required by law, we do not disclose or sell a user's personal information to third parties without the user's consent. We do not sell mailing lists or provide data externally for advertising purposes.

Subcontractors and external services

We entrust the following external services with handling information to the extent necessary to provide the Service. This is an outsourcing arrangement for operating the Service, not a third-party disclosure.

Provider	Purpose	Information handled
Cloudflare, Inc.	App delivery, database and photo storage (server infrastructure)	Email address, submitted photos, usage data, etc.
Stripe, Inc. (web version)	Credit card payment and subscription management	Payment information (card details are processed and held directly by Stripe)
Apple Inc. (iOS app)	In-app purchase (subscription) processing	Purchase information via the App Store (card details are processed and held directly by Apple)
Resend	Sending login codes and similar emails	Email address
Anthropic	AI appraisal (assisting with reading model lineage and markings from images)	Images uploaded for AI appraisal

The AI model used for AI appraisal varies by membership tier (Platinum Members use a more capable higher-tier model, Claude Opus). In every case, uploaded images are used only for the purpose of the appraisal process.

Information may be transferred to the country where each provider is located (e.g. the United States). Each provider handles information under its own privacy policy and security standards.

5. Storage Location and Retention Period

Member information and submitted photos are stored mainly in Cloudflare's database (D1) and storage (R2).
We retain personal information for as long as needed to fulfill its purpose, and for any period required by law.
Upon a withdrawal or deletion request, we delete the data through the process described below (except for information we are legally required to retain).

6. Use of Cookies and localStorage

The Service uses browser localStorage and cookies to maintain login state and save settings, specifically for the following purposes.

Holding login tokens (to keep users signed in)
Saving appraisal history and in-app display settings for convenience

These are mainly necessary for the Service to function. You can disable or delete cookies and storage in your browser settings, but some features, such as login, may stop working if you do. We do not use cookies for third-party advertising tracking.

7. Requests for Disclosure, Correction, or Deletion

Users may request disclosure, correction, suspension of use, or deletion of their own personal information that we hold. Please contact us at the channel below; after verifying your identity, we will respond promptly in accordance with the law.

Contact / request channel: miuraharu0421@gmail.com
Account (membership) deletion and requests to take down a submitted photo are also handled through this same channel.

About deleting submitted photos

If you would like a submitted photo taken down, we will stop featuring and delete it within a reasonable time. However, we cannot guarantee complete removal from promotional material already published or distributed (videos, social media posts, etc.); thank you for your understanding.

8. Security Measures

We use a passwordless, 6-digit login code system, which structurally reduces the risk of leaked credentials.
Credit card information never passes through our servers; the payment processor (Stripe on the web / Apple in the app) handles it directly.
Secret keys and API keys are never written directly into source code and are instead managed as server-side secrets.
Location data in submitted photos is removed on the device before the photo is sent.

9. Use by Minors

If a minor wishes to sign up for paid membership, please obtain a parent or guardian's consent before doing so.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may revise this Policy as needed. Material changes will be announced through a notice on the Service or another appropriate method.
