Privacy and your photos
You're trusting us with photos of your children. This page explains what we collect, why, and how long we keep it. Last updated October 2026.
The data controller is Westacre Real Estate Ltd (registered in England and Wales, company number 12585542), 843 Finchley Road, London NW11 8NA, trading as Look at Me Comics.
What we collect
- Your details: name, email address and delivery address.
- The story: your answers about your child, including names, interests, school, town and the people in their life.
- Photos: the photos you upload of your child and anyone else you want in the comic.
- Payment: handled entirely by Stripe. We see that you paid, not your card details.
Why we use it
Only to make, deliver and support your comic, which is the contract between us. We don't use your child's photos or details for marketing, and we never sell them. We'll only email you about your order, unless you choose to hear from us about new comics.
Who helps us
- Stripe, for payment
- Tally, for the questions form and photo upload
- AI writing and illustration services, to write the story and draw the pictures from your answers and photos
- Our print and delivery partner, which receives the finished comic file and your delivery address
- Our email provider, to send your preview and updates
Some of these services may process data outside the UK. Where they do, they use the safeguards UK law requires.
How long we keep it
- Photos: deleted once your comic has been printed.
- Your answers, the character drawings and the finished comic file: kept for 12 months so we can reprint if something goes wrong or make a follow-up comic, then deleted. Ask us and we'll delete them sooner.
- Order and payment records: kept for 6 years, as tax law requires.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete the information we hold about you or your child, or object to how we use it. Email [email protected]. If you're not happy with how we've handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
