NO SALE
We never sell your personal information or share it for profit or cross-context behavioral advertising.
SECURITY
We use industry-standard safeguards to protect your data. No system is perfectly secure, so please use the Services responsibly.
YOUR RIGHTS
Depending on where you live (EEA/UK, Canada, California, Virginia and others), you can ask to access, delete or correct your data, or limit how we process it.
1. Information We Collect
Information you give us of your own accord, when you ask us for information, complete a form or get in touch with us.

Technical Data We Collect Automatically
Our systems record routine operational data: IP address, browser type, operating system, language, referring pages, timestamps, pages viewed, device identifiers, an approximate location worked out from the IP address, and crash and error diagnostics. We use it for security, fraud prevention, performance analysis and the integrity of the Services.
Location data: An approximate location, worked out from your IP address. We do not ask for your precise GPS location. You can limit location signals through your device or browser settings.

- To protect vital interests where this is necessary.
3. Legal Bases (GDPR / UK GDPR / Similar)
Where these laws apply, we process data on the following legal bases:
- Consent (Art.6(1)(a)) for information you submit voluntarily. You can withdraw it at any time by writing to contact@lumenstarmodeling.com.
- Contract (Art.6(1)(b)) where we need to process data to answer inquiries made before a contract, or to provide features you have asked for.
- Legal Obligation (Art.6(1)(c)) to meet requirements set by regulation or statute.
- Legitimate Interests (Art.6(1)(f)) in keeping the platform secure, preventing abuse and improving the quality of the Services, always weighed against your rights.
- Vital Interests (Art.6(1)(d)) in rare cases where it is needed to protect someone's life or safety.
