One pool"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"pp-short wp-block-paragraph\">You can share a chat analysis subscription, and the price does not move. A Portraitor Pass is a code you send to other people, and the home page says everyone draws from the same pool of 10 a month, so sharing costs nothing extra, but anyone you share with is spending your portraits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pass panel on portraitor.ai carries a heading that reads Give this Pass to someone, with a button to copy the code, a button to copy a link, and a QR image to download. Sharing is the designed use of a Pass, not something the terms merely tolerate. The cost of it lands in one place, and the four pages Portraitor publishes are specific about where.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What a shared Pass hands over<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Pass is a code. Terms section 4 calls it a code that entitles the holder to a monthly allowance of portraits, and says plainly that a Pass is not an account. The home page FAQ answers the question Who can use my Pass? with this: &#8220;Anyone you send the code, link, or QR to. That\u2019s what it\u2019s for. They enter it and start straight away.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The visible price on the <a href=\"https:\/\/portraitor.ai\/\">Portraitor home page<\/a> is $19 a month for ten portraits, with a single portrait available for $10 and no Pass at all. Sharing is listed as part of what the $19 buys: the subscription panel shows &#8220;Share with family &amp; friends, one pool&#8221;, and the Pass screen repeats it as &#8220;Everyone shares one pool of 10\/month. It refills together, no extra charge for sharing.&#8221; The two prices and what each one includes are set out in <a href=\"\/blog\/how-much-does-a-chat-analysis-cost\">what a chat analysis costs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The code entitles whoever holds it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Terms section 4 states that a Pass entitles whoever holds it to use it, and that Portraitor has no means of verifying that the holder is the purchaser. The same section says that if a Pass is lost or disclosed to a third party, Portraitor may be unable to establish that it belongs to you, and accepts no liability for portraits generated by any person in possession of it. Where a Pass is shared, section 4 adds, its monthly allowance is shared with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The privacy policy describes the machinery behind that. There are no user accounts; a Pass is an anonymous code granting a monthly allowance of portraits; it is not associated with your name or email address; and Portraitor says it is unable to identify the person using one. <a href=\"\/blog\/chat-analysis-without-an-account\">How a chat analysis works without an account<\/a> goes through that design in full. Pass codes are stored only in an irreversible form, so they cannot be recovered from Portraitor\u2019s records, and the data rights page says the data export withholds the Pass code for the same reason: it is a credential, and you hold the only copy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"pp-warn wp-block-paragraph\">Terms section 4 also states that you agree not to use another person\u2019s Pass without their authorisation, and not to resell or otherwise commercially exploit a Pass. That is what the clause says. This page reports it and does not interpret it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where ten portraits go when several people draw on one Pass<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ten is the whole month. The home page FAQ says &#8220;$19 a month gives you 10 portraits. Your 10 portraits come back on your renewal date each month; unused ones are lost, not added on top.&#8221; Terms 6.2 says the same thing in its own words: each renewal restores the Pass allowance to 10 portraits, and unused portraits expire at the end of the monthly period and do not carry forward. <a href=\"\/blog\/does-a-chat-analysis-subscription-renew\">What the renewal date does to the allowance<\/a> covers the refill on its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nothing in the pool is held back for the person who paid. The home page says the tool shows how many are left before you start, so a second person can see the count, but that count is the only thing between them and the last portrait of the month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two ordinary events spend the pool. The home page says that if a portrait analysed the wrong person, fixing it means running it again, which uses another portrait. A portrait that fails outright is the gentler case: terms 7.2 says that if a portrait cannot be generated the charge is reversed automatically, and that for a Pass the portrait is returned to your allowance instead, with nothing to claim. The rest of what the pages say about money coming back is in <a href=\"\/blog\/chat-analysis-refund\">the refund rules for a portrait<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the ten are gone, the home page offers two routes: wait for your renewal date, or pay once for a single portrait at $10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What the buyer can see about a portrait someone else made<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Almost nothing, and the privacy policy says why. On the website, your portrait history, which the policy describes as the conversations you submit and the results returned to you together with the email address last used for billing or delivery, is stored within your own browser. It is not transmitted to Portraitor, and clearing your browsing data for this site removes it permanently. A portrait someone else drew from your pool therefore sits in their browser, not in yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The data rights page sets out what an access request does return: your payment history, and any Pass linked to the address with its usage count, price paid and renewal date. A usage count is a number. The privacy policy adds that every request concerning a Pass is tied to the session that made it, so one customer cannot reach another\u2019s records by altering a request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Answering someone who has never used the Service but appears in a conversation another person submitted, the data rights page says that the portrait was delivered to that person alone. The same question from the other side, for everyone named in a group chat, is in <a href=\"\/blog\/group-chat-analysis-what-happens-to-everyone-else\">what a group chat analysis means for everyone else<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then the pages stop. None of the four says whether the Pass panel, an access summary, or anything else shows who used a portrait, when they used it, or which conversation it came from. The remaining count and the usage count are what Portraitor publishes. Nothing in the four pages answers the rest, so this page does not answer it either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Each portrait carries its own permission confirmation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The confirmation is per conversation, not per Pass. The checkout step on the home page carries one line to agree to: &#8220;I\u2019m 16 or older, and I have permission to analyze this chat.&#8221; Terms section 5 puts the same requirement in the acceptable use list: you agree not to submit a conversation you do not have permission to analyse, and before payment you confirm that you have that permission. The terms then say you are responsible for that confirmation being true, and that where the law of your country requires the consent of the other participants before their messages are analysed, you must have obtained it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Section 5 lists uses the Service is not for, whoever is holding the code: making or supporting a decision about a person\u2019s employment, education, housing, credit, insurance, immigration status or access to any service or benefit, and using the Service to surveil, stalk, harass or harm anyone. Section 3 sets the minimum age at 16. What the terms say about who owns the conversation and the portrait that comes out of it is in <a href=\"\/blog\/who-owns-a-chat-analysis\">who owns a chat analysis<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One thing the pages leave open. The terms place the permission confirmation before payment, and a person using a shared Pass makes no payment at that moment. Where that confirmation sits for them is not stated on the home page, the terms, the privacy policy or the data rights page, so it is not stated here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who becomes the payer after an early refill<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The payer can change, and one sentence in terms 6.2 is how. An early refill is offered only when the allowance is empty, is never applied automatically, is charged at the same monthly amount, restores the full allowance immediately, and starts a new monthly period from that day, so the renewal date moves and the remainder of the previous period is not refunded. The clause closes: where a Pass is shared, whoever refills it becomes the payer for its renewals from then on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is the single place in the published terms where sharing a Pass moves the billing. The clause sits under Monthly Pass in section 6.2, and it applies to a Pass bought on the website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where the Pass was bought decides who bills it. Terms 6.3 says a Pass can be used both on the website and in the app, with its Pass code; that a Pass bought on the website is billed by Stripe and managed on the website, from the Pass panel; and that a Pass bought in the app is billed by Apple and managed in your Apple Account settings, including when you use it on the website. The same section says the early refill is not available for a Pass bought in the app, and that purchases made in the app are not shared through Family Sharing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cancelling does not cut anyone off on the spot. Terms 6.2 says cancellation takes effect at the end of the monthly period for which you have already paid, that your Pass remains usable until that date, and that it will not renew thereafter. The home page puts the control in the Pass panel: open your Pass and choose Cancel, any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The part of sharing you cannot take back<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two of the four pages describe the Pass as a credential and nothing more. Terms section 4 says Portraitor accepts no liability for portraits generated by any person in possession of it. The privacy policy says the code is stored only in an irreversible form and cannot be recovered from Portraitor\u2019s records. The sign out prompt on the home page is about one device only: &#8220;This device will forget your Pass. You\u2019ll need your code or link to use it again, so make sure you\u2019ve saved it.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What the pages do not describe is any way to change a Pass code, or to withdraw a copy already sent. Cancellation is the only ending they set out, and it runs to the end of the period already paid for. <a href=\"\/blog\/lose-your-chat-analysis-pass\">What the pages say about a Pass you have lost<\/a> is the nearest thing to a remedy, and it is short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The clause that works in the buyer\u2019s favour is about price rather than people. Terms 6.2 says the price you subscribe at is the price your Pass keeps, and that a change to the published price applies to new Passes only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Does sharing a Portraitor Pass cost more than $19 a month?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. The home page says everyone draws from the same pool of 10 a month, so sharing costs nothing extra, and the Pass screen repeats that the pool refills together with no extra charge for sharing. The charge set out in terms 6.2 is $19 on purchase and the same amount on the corresponding date of each subsequent month until the subscription is cancelled.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Can I see which portraits someone else made with my Pass?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The four pages Portraitor publishes do not say that you can. They say the tool shows how many portraits are left before you start, and that an access request returns any Pass linked to your email address with its usage count, price paid and renewal date. Website portrait history, says the privacy policy, is stored within the browser of the person who made it, and is not transmitted to Portraitor.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>What happens when the person I shared with uses the last portrait?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The home page says that when the portraits run out you wait for your renewal date or pay once for a single portrait, which is $10. Terms 6.2 adds an early refill at the same monthly amount, offered only when the allowance is empty, which restores the allowance at once, starts a new monthly period that day, and makes whoever refills the payer for renewals from then on.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Can I stop someone using my Pass after I have sent them the code?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nothing on the home page, the terms, the privacy policy or the data rights page describes a way to change a Pass code or withdraw a copy already sent. Terms section 4 says a Pass entitles whoever holds it to use it, and terms 6.2 says cancellation takes effect at the end of the period already paid for, with the Pass usable until that date.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Does a Pass bought in the iPhone app work for the people I share it with?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Terms 6.3 says a Pass can be used both on the website and in the app, with its Pass code, and that a Pass bought in the app is billed by Apple and managed in your Apple Account settings, including when you use it on the website. The same section says purchases made in the app are not shared through Family Sharing, and that the early refill described in section 6.2 is not available for a Pass bought in the app.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Do the people I share with need an account?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. The privacy policy says the Service does not operate user accounts, and that a Pass is an anonymous code granting a monthly allowance of portraits. The home page says anyone you send the code, link or QR to enters it and starts straight away.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"pp-closing wp-block-paragraph\">One code, one pool of ten, and a count anyone holding the code can spend: that is the whole of a shared Pass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Portraitor Pass is made to be handed on.
