We publish original tutorials, styling guides, and tested text prompts alongside illustrative sample outputs. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your privacy rights.

By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

  • Personal Data means any information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual.

2. What South Prompts Provides

No user account or login is required to read our guides or copy prompts on the Service.

3. Data We Collect

Personal Data

We collect personal data only in the following specific situations:

  • Email address: if you contact us via email or subscribe to updates.

This data is collected in aggregate and is used only to understand how the Service is used and to improve it.

Prompt Interaction Data

We may log anonymised prompt copy events (that is, when the copy button is used) to understand which prompts are most useful. This count contains no personally identifiable information and is stored only as part of our aggregate page statistics.

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the Service and serve relevant advertising. You can instruct your browser to refuse cookies, but some parts of the Service may not function correctly if you do.

5. AI Content: Images and Prompts

Text Prompts

All text prompts, photography guides, and styling notes published on South Prompts are written, structured, and manually tested by our editorial team across image generation platforms (including Google Gemini, ChatGPT, and Midjourney) before publication. They are provided as educational references and creative starting points for your own workflow.

Prompt usage rights: You are granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free right to copy and use any text prompt on South Prompts for personal or commercial generation purposes. No attribution is required.

Output liability: South Prompts does not guarantee that a prompt will produce a specific result. Output quality depends on the AI platform, model version, and settings you use. You assume full responsibility for any content you generate using prompts from this site, including any intellectual property concerns that may arise from your generated output.

AI-Generated Images

Each prompt on South Prompts is accompanied by one or more AI-generated images. These images are produced using generative AI models and are displayed solely to illustrate one possible visual interpretation of the accompanying prompt.

  • Images are not available for download or redistribution.
  • Images do not depict real people, places, or events unless explicitly stated.
  • Images may have undergone minor post-processing (cropping, colour correction, upscaling) for presentation purposes.
  • We do not knowingly strip or corrupt AI provenance metadata (such as C2PA or SynthID signals) embedded in image files.
  • We make no ownership claims over AI-generated images displayed on the site.

Replication disclaimer: Due to the stochastic nature of generative AI, we cannot guarantee that you will produce the exact image displayed, even when using the same prompt and settings. The displayed image is one possible output, not a guaranteed result.
