What happens to your photographs

Your images are deleted after 24 hours. Originals and every derivative are removed on a 24-hour lifecycle; the review link stops resolving at the same time.

GPS location is stripped at ingest, before anything is written to storage. Location is never persisted and never used in grading.

No accounts. A session lives behind an unguessable URL; first-party analytics key to a long-lived anonymous id in your browser, never to your identity.

Access emails are temporary. An email used to request beta access is retained only to review the request, verify the link, prevent repeated free quota, and resend an active invitation. Beta requests are reviewed by hand: a request that is never decided is removed 30 days after it was submitted, a decided request 30 days after the decision, and the email itself 30 days after the invitation expires unused or its reads are exhausted.

Cloudflare Turnstile checks that access requests come from people rather than automated submissions. It receives ordinary browser and request signals, never your photographs or critique.

EXIF (camera, lens, exposure) is read only as context for the read and is never a grading input. We log sanitized product milestones and may collect request metadata for analytics - never your filenames, image contents, or review text.
