Test Galleries, Licences and Client Privacy

WeddingWorkflowLab does not currently hold a licensed test gallery, and no wedding or event photographs have been processed for this site. This page sets the conditions a gallery has to meet before any test can run, so the standard is on record before the work starts.

Why this needs its own policy

Wedding galleries contain identifiable people who did not agree to appear in a software review. Running them through AI tools can also send copies to third-party servers. A test that ignores either point would be built on images it had no right to use.

What a test gallery must have

Any gallery used for testing has to meet all of these conditions:

• A written licence from the copyright holder covering software testing and publication of any sample images.
• Releases or consent from the couple, and from any identifiable guests where images will be published, for the specific use.
• Explicit permission for AI processing, including any upload to a vendor's servers. We require this to be stated in writing and do not assume it from a general licence.
• A record of what was agreed, including who gave permission, when, and for what.

How test images would be handled

Handling rules apply from the moment a gallery arrives:

• Only the people running the test get access to the files.
• Tools that upload images are identified as such before the gallery goes near them, because cloud and local culling tools handle files differently.
• Before any upload, we read that vendor's data terms and check whether images can be used for model training. If training cannot be turned off and the licence does not allow it, the gallery does not go to that tool.
• Published samples are limited to what the licence allows. Where it matters, faces would be cropped or obscured.
• Files are deleted, or returned, when the licence says so.

What we will never do

We will not use client photographs without permission, take images from other websites or social media for testing, or present generated or composite images as real wedding photographs in a test.

If you are offering a gallery

If you are a photographer who holds rights to a gallery and would consider licensing it for testing, please see the contact page. Nothing would be processed until the written licence and releases are in place. Payment or other terms would be agreed in writing, and any such arrangement would be disclosed on the pages that use the gallery.

If you are in a photograph

No test images have been published on this site. If that changes and you appear in one and want it removed, contact us and we will review the request.
