What happens to your guests' photos

You're asking your guests to hand over photos of themselves at a private occasion. That deserves a straight answer, in plain words, rather than a policy nobody reads. This page is the plain version; the Privacy Policy is the binding one.

The photos are deleted, automatically

When your download window ends, the photos and every copy made from them are permanently removed from our storage. It isn't an archive we quietly keep. This is the single most important thing on this page, and it's why we email you a reminder before the deadline.

Private until you decide otherwise

Nothing is public by default. The gallery only exists once you publish it, and even then it's reachable only through a link that can't be guessed. There's no directory of events, and nothing is indexed by search engines.

No tracking cookies

We use two cookies: one to keep you signed in, and one so a guest can see their own photos. That's it. No advertising cookies, no third-party trackers, and no consent banner to click through, because there's nothing to consent to.

Guests agree before they share

Every guest confirms they're happy to share a photo before it's sent, and we record when they did. They can also remove any of their own photos while the event is open, without asking you.

We keep as little as possible

Guests never make an account, so there's nothing to collect from them beyond the photo itself and a caption. Where we need an address to stop abuse, it's stored scrambled rather than as the address itself. Deleting your account removes your events and their photos with it.

The photos are yours, not ours

We store your guests' photos so we can show them to you and let you download them. We don't sell them, and we don't show them to anyone outside your event.

The binding version

This page is a summary written for people. The Privacy Policy is the document that actually governs what we do, and the Cookie Policy lists the two cookies by name. If something here and something there ever disagree, the policies win — and please tell us, because that would be a mistake worth fixing.
