Rug & Kilim ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use the R&K Image Studio (the "Studio"), a visual workspace available at rugandkilim.com/rk-image-studio/ that allows you to visualize rugs, tapestries, and textiles in your own space or in a preset environment.

Please read this policy carefully. By using the Studio, you agree to the practices described below. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Studio.

To use the Studio, you may upload photographs of your own space. These images are processed solely for the purpose of generating your visualization and are not stored permanently on our servers beyond what is necessary to complete that operation.

2.2 Rug Selections and Preferences

We collect information about which rugs, tapestries, or textiles you select within the Studio, as well as any style, lighting, shot type, or space settings you configure. This data helps us improve the Studio experience and personalize our recommendations.

2.3 Generated Visualizations

Completed visualizations (images showing a rug in your space or a preset environment) may be stored on our servers. If your visualization appears in the "From Around the World" public gallery on the Studio page, your approximate location (city/region level) may also be displayed alongside it.

  • To generate and display rug visualizations based on your inputs
  • To operate, maintain, and improve the R&K Image Studio
  • To manage your Rug & Kilim account and provide customer support
  • To display your visualizations in our public "From Around the World" gallery (where applicable)

4. Sharing of Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:

4.1 Service Providers

Third-party vendors who help us operate the Studio and related services, including AI image-generation providers, cloud hosting providers, and analytics platforms. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for the services they provide to us.

4.2 Advertising Partners

We may share limited data (such as pseudonymous identifiers via pixels or cookies) with advertising platforms such as Meta (Facebook/Instagram) to measure ad performance and serve relevant ads. This sharing is governed by those platforms' own privacy policies.

4.3 Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, or governmental authority, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Rug & Kilim, our customers, or others.

4.4 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, your information may be transferred to the acquiring entity.


5. Public Gallery — "From Around the World"

The Studio features a public gallery displaying visualizations created by users worldwide, along with approximate city/region location. By generating a visualization, you acknowledge that your result may appear in this gallery. If you prefer that your visualization not appear publicly, please contact us at info@rugandkilim.com to request removal.


6. Your Uploaded Room Images

Photographs you upload of your space are used only to generate your visualization. We do not use your uploaded images for any other commercial purpose, share them with third parties for their own use, or display them publicly without your consent. Uploaded images may be temporarily retained in our systems for a short period to support technical operations (e.g., error recovery) before being deleted.


7. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide our services and fulfill the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law. You may request deletion of your data at any time (see Section 9).


8. Data Security

We implement commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage method is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and you use the Studio at your own risk.
