4. NAIL-WORK SUBMISSIONSYou may choose to submit photographs, videos, screenshots, descriptions, or other materials showing nail work (“Submitted Content”) for feedback, review, education, or another service offered by Moskalina Studio.
By submitting content, you confirm that:
- you have the right to submit the content;
- the content does not knowingly violate another person’s intellectual property, privacy, or other legal rights;
- where another person appears in the content, you have any permission reasonably necessary to submit the material for the purposes described at the time of submission.
You retain any ownership rights you have in the original Submitted Content.
5. EDUCATIONAL AND PORTFOLIO USE OF SUBMITTED NAIL WORKWhere this is clearly disclosed at or before submission, nail-work photographs and videos submitted for professional feedback may also be selected and used by Moskalina Studio in an anonymized or non-identifying form for educational, portfolio, case-study, and professional-content purposes.
Examples may include:
- nail-work breakdowns;
- educational Reels, Stories, posts, carousels, and videos;
- before-and-after or progression examples;
- case studies;
- technical demonstrations;
- examples in guides, presentations, courses, lessons, workshops, and other educational materials;
- Moskalina Studio’s website and professional portfolio;
- educational email content;
- organic social-media content.
For these purposes, Moskalina Studio may reasonably:
- crop or resize an image;
- zoom into a particular part of the nail;
- add arrows, diagrams, lines, labels, captions, or educational text;
- highlight areas of structure or technique;
- compare images;
- discuss technical strengths, problems, or areas for improvement;
- adapt the size, layout, or format for different educational platforms.
Submission of content does not transfer ownership of the original content to Moskalina Studio.
No royalty, fee, or other compensation is payable for uses of Submitted Content that were clearly disclosed and agreed to as part of the applicable submission process, unless we separately agree otherwise in writing.
6. IDENTITY, FACES, NAMES, AND SOCIAL MEDIA HANDLESSubmitting nail-work photographs does not automatically authorize Moskalina Studio to publicly identify you or another identifiable person appearing in the material.
Unless additional permission or another lawful basis applies, Moskalina Studio will not intentionally publish:
- your full name;
- your social-media username or handle;
- your identifiable face;
- a client’s identifiable face;
- other information that directly identifies you or another individual
as part of a public nail-work breakdown, case study, or educational example.
If Moskalina Studio wishes to identify you by name or social-media handle, feature your identifiable face, use an identifiable testimonial, or otherwise use personal information for a materially different promotional purpose, additional permission may be requested where required.
7. PERSONALIZED FEEDBACKFeedback provided in response to photographs or other submitted material is educational in nature.
A photograph cannot necessarily show every aspect of preparation, nail condition, product application, client history, technique, curing, or service process.
Feedback therefore reflects the information reasonably available from the submission and should not be understood as a guarantee of a particular result or as a complete diagnosis of every possible cause of a technical problem.
8. PAID DIGITAL PRODUCTS AND EDUCATIONAL MATERIALSMoskalina Studio may offer paid digital products, guides, courses, lessons, templates, videos, educational resources, consultations, or other products and services.
When you make a purchase, I may collect or receive information reasonably necessary to:
- process the transaction;
- confirm payment;
- provide access to the purchased product or service;
- provide customer support;
- maintain transaction and accounting records;
- address refunds, disputes, chargebacks, fraud, or unauthorized transactions;
- comply with applicable tax, accounting, and legal requirements.
Payment information may be processed by third-party payment providers.
I do not intend to collect or store full payment-card numbers or card security codes directly on moskalina.com where payment processing is handled by an independent payment provider.
Payment providers process payment information according to their own privacy policies and legal obligations.
9. EMAILS AND MARKETING COMMUNICATIONSI may use your email address to:
- deliver something you requested;
- respond to a submission;
- provide personalized feedback;
- provide information concerning a purchase;
- provide access to a digital product;
- provide customer service;
- communicate about a request or transaction you initiated.
These service-related communications are separate from an ongoing marketing subscription.
Where required, I will obtain the appropriate consent before sending commercial electronic messages such as promotional emails, product announcements, course offers, or marketing newsletters.
When you expressly opt in to marketing communications, I may send educational nail content, tips, product information, course information, updates, promotions, and offers from Moskalina Studio.
Marketing emails will provide identification information and an unsubscribe mechanism as required by applicable law.
You may withdraw your marketing consent or unsubscribe at any time.

I seek to use personal information only for purposes reasonably appropriate to the services being provided.
11. PROCESSING OUTSIDE BRITISH COLUMBIA OR CANADASome service providers used by Moskalina Studio may process or store information outside British Columbia or outside Canada.
As a result, information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is processed or stored and may be accessible to courts, law-enforcement authorities, or governmental authorities in accordance with applicable law.
12. DATA RETENTIONI retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and for legitimate legal, business, accounting, security, dispute-resolution, consent-record, or compliance purposes.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the service involved.
Records demonstrating consent may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to establish the scope and existence of that consent.
Information may also remain temporarily in backups or third-party systems according to the retention practices of the applicable service provider.
13. SECURITYMoskalina Studio uses reasonable administrative, organizational, and technical measures appropriate to the nature of the information to help protect personal information against unauthorized access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, loss, or disposal.
I also rely on security measures provided by third-party platforms and service providers.
No website, electronic transmission, database, cloud service, payment platform, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
14. ACCESS AND CORRECTIONSubject to applicable law, you may request access to personal information about you that is under my custody or control.
You may also request correction of personal information that you believe is inaccurate or incomplete.
Certain exceptions may apply where permitted or required by law.
Requests may be submitted to the Privacy Officer at:
moska.linaa@gmail.com
I may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding to a request.
15. WITHDRAWAL OF CONSENTWhere processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent subject to reasonable notice and any legal or contractual restrictions.
Withdrawal of consent does not retroactively invalidate collection, use, or disclosure that was lawful before consent was withdrawn.
There may also be circumstances in which information must or may continue to be retained or processed without consent as permitted or required by law.
If withdrawing consent affects my ability to provide a requested product or service, I will explain the consequences where appropriate.
16. PRIVACY QUESTIONS AND COMPLAINTSIf you have a question or concern about how your personal information is handled, you may contact the Privacy Officer.
I will review privacy questions and complaints and take reasonable steps to respond appropriately.
