When you upload a photo of other people to Luma, you automatically give those people a permanent, free right to use and share that photo online — a right you cannot take back.
Any person you photograph and upload to Luma gains a permanent, irrevocable right to publicly display and distribute that image online — which could affect professional photographers, event photographers, or anyone uploading images containing third parties.

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision engages right of publicity laws (varying by state — California Civil Code §3344, New York Civil Rights Law §§50-51, Texas Property Code §26.001), which govern the commercial use of a person's likeness. GDPR Art. 9 applies where photographs reveal special category data (health, ethnicity). Illinois BIPA (740 ILCS 14) applies if biometric identifiers are derived from uploaded photographs. The provision's grant of license to depicted persons is unusual and creates an unusual multi-party rights structure not common in standard platform ToS. (2)
