Your photos never leave your device.
We never receive any of these. On Android, Bitphoto also switches off Google's automatic app backup, so they aren't copied to the cloud without you choosing to. A company licence key is kept in your system's secure storage (the Keychain, Windows Credential Manager or the Android Keystore), as is the backup recovery key.
Only the following.
For sponsor cards:
We use these counts only to report to sponsors and to bill them. We don't sell personal data, build profiles, or use your photos for advertising.
So your records can show when they existed, the Windows and Android apps send a fingerprint of your whole ledger (64 letters and numbers) to the free public OpenTimestamps servers (a.pool.opentimestamps.org, b.pool.opentimestamps.org, a.pool.eternitywall.com), at most once a day after you protect a photo. That fingerprint can't be turned back into images, file names, names or records. These servers are run by third parties: they see your IP address, and the fingerprint is published permanently in the Bitcoin blockchain. You can switch this off in the app (Public date: Off).
In the Windows and Android apps, only when you choose Back up. Your ledger and settings are locked on your device with a recovery key and saved where you choose (for example iCloud Drive or Google Drive); that service's own privacy policy applies to the file. We never receive the backup or the key, and we can't open or reset it.
If you enter a licence key, the app sends the key and how many images it is about to protect and then protected, once per batch. Nothing else: never images, file names or fingerprints. For paid licences we also hold the company's name, its copyright owner name, admin contacts, billing details and monthly counts, to run and bill the licence.
When you tap a sponsor card, your browser opens the sponsor's website. Affiliate links carry a code that tells the sponsor the visit came from Bitphoto, and the sponsor or its affiliate network may set a cookie to credit the sale to us. From then on the sponsor's privacy policy applies; we receive only commission reports, never your identity.
Bitphoto is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their data.
Because we hold no personal data about you beyond momentary web requests, there is normally nothing for us to access, correct or delete. Write to privacy@bitphoto.com with any question; EU and UK residents may also complain to their data protection authority.
We will show a new version in the app before it applies.
