The Photo Drop ("the app") lets you create photo and video galleries, share them, and post daily "Moments" to groups of people you choose. This policy explains what we collect and how we use it. Support and questions: photodrop.uk/support or [email protected].
Information we collect
- Account info. When you sign in with Google or Apple, we receive your name, email address, and (for Google) your profile photo. We use these to identify you and to show who uploaded or shared a photo.
- Your content. The photos and videos you upload or capture, any captions, and the galleries/groups you create.
- Sharing data. The people you invite or add to groups (by email) and your gallery sharing settings.
- Safety data. If you report a photo, Moment, comment or person, we keep the report (who reported it, what was reported, the reason and any note you add). If you block someone, we keep that so we can hide their content from you. We also record when you accepted the terms of use.
How we use it
- To provide the core service: storing, displaying, organizing, and sharing your photos and videos according to your settings.
- To authenticate you and keep your account secure.
- To deliver "Moments" to the groups you choose, at the daily time you set.
- To keep the community safe: reviewing reports (within 24 hours), removing content and accounts that break the terms of use, and hiding content from people you've blocked.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your photos for advertising.
Where your data is stored
Your account details are stored in Cloudflare D1, and your photos and videos in Cloudflare R2, operated on our behalf by Cloudflare, Inc. Data is encrypted in transit.
Who can see your content
- Photos are private to you unless you share them: via a share link, by inviting people to a gallery, or by posting a Moment to a group.
- A Moment is visible only to you and the members of the group(s) you post it to, and only after its daily reveal time.
- When you report something, the person you reported isn't told who reported them.
- When you block someone, you no longer see their photos, Moments or comments, and they no longer see yours.
Third-party services
- Google Sign-In and Sign in with Apple — for authentication.
- Cloudflare — hosting, database, and file storage.
Your choices & deletion
You can delete individual photos and galleries in the app at any time. Deleted photos sit in Trash for 30 days, then are removed for good.
Delete your account in the app: tap your name in the top-right corner, choose Delete account and confirm. This immediately and permanently deletes your account, the galleries you own and their photos, photos you added to other galleries, your Moments, comments, reactions, groups, blocks and friend connections. If you can't sign in, email [email protected] from your sign-in address and we'll delete it for you. See account deletion for details.
Report or block: use the ⋯ menu on any photo, Moment or comment from someone else to report it or block that person. Manage blocked people from your name menu.
Children
You must be 13 or older to use The Photo Drop. The app is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child under 13 has an account, email us and we will delete it.

We may update this policy; material changes will be reflected by the "Last updated" date above.
