At QuickSharePhotos.com, we believe that sharing photos shouldn't mean sacrificing your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we protect your images.
We aim to collect as little information as possible to provide a fast, functional service.
- Images: We collect and store the photos you upload to provide the sharing service.
- Metadata (EXIF Data): Photos often contain "hidden" data like the date taken, camera settings, and GPS location. Our service strips this data upon upload to protect your privacy.
- Usage Data: We collect non-identifying information such as your IP address, browser type, and device information to prevent spam, analyze server load, and improve performance.
- Cookies: We use session cookies to keep you logged in or remember your preferences during a single visit. We do not use persistent tracking cookies for advertising.
- To Provide the Service: To host your photos and generate shareable links.
- Security: To detect and prevent fraudulent activity, spam, or prohibited content.
- Analytics: To understand how many people use our site and which features are most popular.
- We Do Not Sell Your Data: We do not sell your photos, your metadata, or your personal information to third-party advertisers or data brokers.
- Service Providers: We may use third-party cloud storage providers to store images. These providers are strictly bound by confidentiality agreements.
- Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).
- User-Initiated Deletion: If you have an account, you can delete your photos at any time. Once deleted, they are removed from our active servers.
- Automatic Expiry: To keep our service fast, we may automatically delete images that have not been viewed for a set period (e.g., 90 days).
- Backups: Residual copies of deleted content may remain in our encrypted backups for up to 30 days before being permanently overwritten.
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights:
- Right to Access: You can request a copy of the data we hold about you.
- Right to Deletion: You can request that we delete all your personal data.
- Right to Opt-Out: Since we do not sell data, there is no "sale" to opt out of, but you can opt out of any non-essential data collection by contacting us.
Our service is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that a child has provided us with personal information, we will delete it immediately.
We use industry-standard encryption (SSL/TLS) to protect data in transit. While we strive to protect your photos, no method of electronic storage is 100% secure. We encourage you not to share highly sensitive or confidential information via public links.
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. We will notify users of any significant changes by posting the new policy on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
