Privacy Policy
We protect your privacy by ensuring that the photos uploaded with facial recognition technology reach the right person.
Privacy Overview
PhotoMea is committed to protecting your privacy. We use facial recognition technology solely to match and deliver photos to the right people. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and the measures we take to keep it safe.
GDPR Compliant
We comply with GDPR regulations and international data protection standards. Your personal data is processed lawfully, fairly, and transparently.
Enterprise-Grade Security
All data is protected with enterprise-grade encryption, stored on secure cloud infrastructure, and monitored around the clock.
Data We Collect
Personal Information
- Phone number (required for SMS OTP authentication)
- Email address (optional)
- Name and profile information
- Profile photos (used for face matching)
Face Recognition Data
With your explicit consent, we process facial data for one purpose only: finding the event photos you appear in. Biometric data is a special category of personal data under the GDPR, and we never use it for anything else.
What We Collect
- A registration selfie, along with basic quality measurements of the detected face
- Face detection data from event photos (face position and quality scores)
- Biometric face templates, processed solely by our facial recognition service provider and never stored in our own database
- Identifiers that link recognition results back to photos
How Face Data Is Used
- Matching your selfie against event photos to show you the photos you appear in
- Grouping similar faces so event hosts can organize and browse photos
- Verifying selfie quality during registration
Storage & Sharing
- Photos are stored on secure cloud infrastructure; biometric templates are held separately by our facial recognition service provider
- Processed only by the service providers required to operate the feature
- Never sold, rented, or shared with third parties for advertising, marketing, or tracking
- Protected with encryption in transit and at rest
How Long Face Data Is Kept
- Deleted immediately when you delete your selfie, a photo, an event, or your account
- Event face-recognition data is automatically deleted within 180 days of the event
- Your registration selfie is deleted after 2 years of account inactivity (the period resets while you keep using PhotoMea)
- Biometric templates are destroyed together with the related data — no face data is kept indefinitely
How We Use Your Data
We use the information we collect strictly to provide, maintain, and improve the PhotoMea service. Your data is never sold to third parties.
- Match and deliver your photos automatically
- Manage your account
- Process payments securely
- Send notifications about your photos and events
