Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 20, 2026

SyncShots ("we", "the app") helps trip groups share a single album. This policy explains what data we handle and why. By using SyncShots you agree to this policy.

1. Information we collect

• Account info — when you sign in with Google or Apple, we receive your name, email address, and a profile photo URL (if available).
• Photos & videos — media you capture during a trip's active dates, which the app backs up and adds to your trip's shared album.
• Trip data — trips you create or join, member lists, and invite codes.
• Device tokens — a push-notification token so we can notify you to sync new photos.

2. Where your photos are stored

Your photos and videos are uploaded to your own Google Drive account, in a folder the app creates. SyncShots does not host your media on its own servers. Other trip members view shared media via links to the uploader's Drive.

3. How we use your information

• To authenticate you and keep you signed in.
• To upload your trip media to your Drive and display the shared album to your group.
• To send notifications reminding you to sync, or when members add new photos.

4. Sharing

We do not sell your data. Media you mark as shared is visible to members of the same trip. We use the following service providers: Google Firebase (authentication, database, notifications) and Google Drive (your media storage). Their use of data is governed by Google's privacy policy.

5. Photo library access

The app only reads media captured within your active trip dates for upload. The rest of your photo library is never accessed or uploaded.

6. Data retention & deletion

You can delete your account at any time from Account → Delete account in the app. This permanently removes your account, the trips you own, and your media records from our database. Files already uploaded to your own Google Drive remain in your Drive and can be deleted by you there.

7. Children

SyncShots is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect their data.

8. Changes

We may update this policy. Material changes will be reflected here with a new "Last updated" date.
