4. The Services
4.1 Send Photos — File Transfer
Send Photos allows you to upload files and share them via a link or by email. Transfers and their files are temporary and are automatically deleted after the applicable expiry period. We do not guarantee permanent storage and recommend you keep your own backups. You are solely responsible for the files you transfer and the recipients you choose.
4.2 Find Your Photos — Face Recognition
Find Your Photos uses facial recognition to help event attendees locate photos of themselves. Account Holders upload event photos, which are indexed into a per-event facial recognition collection. Attendees take a selfie that is used solely to perform a match; the selfie image is not stored.
ℹ️ If you are an Account Holder using Find Your Photos, you are responsible for ensuring you have a lawful basis and any required consents to upload event photos and process attendees' biometric data. Attendees provide explicit consent before any selfie matching occurs.
4.3 Photo Selection
Photo Selection lets Account Holders share a gallery so clients can select photos and leave notes. The Account Holder is notified of the client's selections by email. Preview (compressed) images are stored for the access period; original files are not retained by this Service.

You retain all ownership rights in the Content you upload. We do not claim ownership of your photos or files.
