This license ends when you delete your User Content or account. Note that content you have shared may have been viewed or saved by recipients before deletion, which is outside our control.

6.2 Photo Metadata

When you upload photos, we automatically extract embedded metadata (EXIF data) including:

• GPS coordinates and location information
• Date and time the photo was taken

This data helps organize your albums and display photos on maps. If you do not want this information stored, you may remove EXIF data from photos before uploading using third-party tools.

• Violates any law or regulation
• Infringes on intellectual property rights of others

7.1 Album Sharing

When you share an album:

• A pseudonymous visitor fingerprint used to estimate unique visitors (derived from the visitor's IP address and user agent)
• A limited access log containing recent access timestamps and technical metadata (which may include IP address and user agent)

This data helps you understand how your content is being accessed and may help protect the Service from abuse. Access logs are limited (for example, to the most recent 1,000 entries per share link) and may be visible to the album owner. These analytics are not intended to identify viewers by name or email.
