Effective Date: 6/30/26

Yesterday Restored (“Yesterday Restored,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and understands that the photographs you share with us may be personal, meaningful, and irreplaceable. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect personal information and uploaded photographs when you visit our website, place an order, upload photos, or communicate with us.

By using our website or submitting an order, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this Privacy Policy.

  • Original uploaded photo files

  • Restored or colorized photo files

  • File names

  • Optional notes you provide about the photo, such as known colors, approximate year, or other restoration details

When you visit our website, certain information may be collected automatically, including:

  • IP address

  • Browser type

  • Device type

  • Pages visited

  • Time spent on the website

  • Referring website

  • Cookies and similar tracking technologies

This information helps us operate our website, understand how visitors use it, prevent fraud, and improve our services.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Process and fulfill orders

  • Restore, enhance, and colorize uploaded photos

  • Deliver completed digital files

  • Communicate with you about your order

  • Provide customer support

  • Respond to questions or requests

  • Comply with legal, tax, accounting, or regulatory obligations

We do not sell uploaded photos or restored images.

3. Uploaded Photos and AI-Assisted Restoration

Yesterday Restored provides AI-assisted photo restoration and colorization services. This means uploaded photographs may be processed using AI-assisted tools, software, and third-party service providers as part of fulfilling your order.

We use uploaded photos for the purpose of providing the service you purchased, including restoration, enhancement, colorization, quality review, delivery, and customer support.

AI-assisted restoration and colorization may involve estimating missing, damaged, faded, or unclear details. Colorized images are artistically estimated and may not exactly match the original scene or historical reality.

We do not use customer photos for advertising, marketing, social media, portfolio examples, or before-and-after examples without permission.

We do not sell uploaded photos or restored images.

Because online services and digital file processing are not completely risk-free, we cannot guarantee absolute security of uploaded images or personal information. However, we use reasonable measures designed to help protect the information submitted to us.

4. Photo Quality and Restoration Limitations

The quality of the final restoration depends on the quality of the original photo submitted. We may be able to improve faded, yellowed, damaged, scratched, creased, black-and-white, sepia, or older color photographs.

However, very blurry, tiny, low-resolution, dark, overexposed, or out-of-focus photos may have limited restoration results. If important facial features or details are not visible in the original image, AI-assisted restoration may estimate or recreate missing details, which may change how a person or object appears.

We cannot guarantee perfect reconstruction, exact likeness, exact historical colors, or complete correction of all damage.

5. How We Share Information

We may share information with trusted third-party providers who help us operate our business and provide our services. These may include:

  • Shopify and ecommerce platform providers

  • Payment processors

  • File upload and storage providers

  • AI-assisted restoration or image processing tools

  • Email and customer support providers

  • Website hosting providers

  • Analytics and marketing tools

  • Fraud prevention and security providers

  • Legal, accounting, or compliance professionals, if needed

These providers may access personal information or uploaded images only as needed to provide services to us or to help us fulfill your order.

We may also disclose information if required by law, legal process, government request, court order, or to protect our rights, customers, business, or others.

6. How Long We Keep Your Information

We retain personal information and order records as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill orders, provide customer support, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, maintain business records, and operate our website.

Uploaded original photos and restored images are generally retained for up to 90 days after order completion, unless a longer period is needed for customer support, legal, accounting, security, or business purposes.

You may request deletion of uploaded photos by contacting us at support@yesterdayrestored.com. We will review and respond to deletion requests within a reasonable time, subject to legal, accounting, security, or operational requirements.

We will not knowingly use your uploaded photos or restored images for:

  • Public portfolio examples

  • Website examples

  • Social media posts

  • Advertisements

  • Before-and-after marketing

without your permission.

If we would like to use a customer photo for promotional or example purposes, we will request permission first.
