Privacy
What PhotoPool collects, what it doesn't, and how long anything sticks around. Early-access draft, pending counsel review.
What we collect
- Photos you choose to post to a pool, plus the content tags computed for sorting.
- An anonymous device identifier for guests — a random ID stored in your browser. It ties your uploads to your device (so only you can delete them) and is never shown to anyone.
- An email address for hosts only, used to sign in and own events. Guests never create accounts.
What we don't
- No guest accounts, names, or contact details.
- No selling of photos or data; no advertising or third-party trackers.
- Photo screening runs on your own device before upload — photos aren't sent to third-party moderation services.
Retention and deletion
Photos live as long as the event's plan keeps them (1 day to 1 year) and are permanently deleted afterward. Guests can delete their own photos any time while the pool is up; hosts can remove any photo immediately.
Cookies
One session cookie, for signed-in hosts only. Guests get no cookies — just the anonymous device ID stored locally in their browser.
