Privacy Policy

OneZine is operated by Petr Gardian, trading as OneZine (onezine.studio). This page explains what personal data we collect when you use our service, why we collect it, who we share it with, and how long we keep it.

If you have any questions, email us at studio@onezine.studio.

What we collect and why

• Email addressTo send you your preview link, order confirmation, dispatch notification, and other messages about your own zine. We also use it to send occasional news and offers about OneZine. Every one of those carries an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing does not affect the emails about your order.
• PhotographsThe images you upload to create your zine. Used solely to generate your preview and print-ready files. We do not use your photographs for any other purpose, including marketing.
• Shipping address & phonePassed to Mixam (our print and fulfilment partner) to produce and deliver your order. Not used for any other purpose.
• Payment dataHandled entirely by Stripe. We never see or store your card number, expiry, or CVV.
• Order metadataOrder reference, quantity, region, and status. Kept to manage your order and to answer any queries about it.
• Notes you writeThe opening and closing text you provide with your submission. Used to personalise your zine pages. Optionally polished by an AI writing tool before layout (see below).

Third parties we use

• AWS S3Cloud storage for your uploaded photographs and your generated PDF files.

• KitEmail list and newsletter delivery. Stores your email address, your zine reference, and the region we would print in, so we can send you messages about your zine and occasional OneZine news. Your photographs, your preview, and your order details are never sent to Kit.
• Anthropic APIAn AI writing tool used to optionally polish the text notes you submit. Your notes are sent to Anthropic's API for this purpose and are not used to train AI models. You can choose to use your original words instead at the preview stage.

We do not sell your data to any third party, and none of the above third parties are permitted to use your data for their own marketing purposes.

How long we keep your data

• PhotographsPreview images are deleted 30 days after your order is dispatched. Print-ready files may be retained for up to 12 months from dispatch.
• Order recordsOneZine is registered in the Czech Republic, and invoicing and accounting records (which include the email address attached to an order) are kept for as long as Czech accounting and tax law requires, currently up to 10 years.
• Email address on our email listKept until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it, after which it is removed from our email list. This is separate from the copy held in your order records, which we are legally required to retain for the period above.

Your rights

Under GDPR you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, request correction of any inaccuracies, request deletion (where we are not legally required to retain it), and object to processing. To exercise any of these rights, email studio@onezine.studio. We will respond within 30 days.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. Our lead supervisory authority is the Czech Office for Personal Data Protection (ÚOOÚ) at uoou.cz. If you are based in another EU member state or in the UK, you may also contact your local supervisory authority.

Cookies and tracking

We do not use advertising or analytics cookies. Our site uses only the cookies necessary to process your order (Stripe's payment session) and, if you arrive from a link in one of our videos, a first-party cookie named oz_vref that records which video sent you. We use it to count how many previews and orders each video leads to. It is set by us, readable only on onezine.studio, and the counts are stored on our own infrastructure rather than shared with anyone. No tracking pixels, no third-party ad networks.

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes, we will update the date at the top of this page. For significant changes affecting how we use your photographs or personal data, we will notify you by email if you are on our email list or have an order in progress.
