The small print, made simple
Privacy, in plain English

01
The short version
Your photos stay on your device until a PDF needs to be built. We do not sell data, we do not show ads, and we do not train models on your pictures. You can delete a project and its files at any time.
02
What is stored on your device
The editor saves your project (page layouts, captions, crops) and your photos in your browser’s local storage so nothing is lost if the tab closes or your connection drops. This data stays in your browser until you delete the project or clear site data. Private browsing modes may limit this; we show a banner when that happens.
03
What is uploaded and why
To build a print-ready PDF we upload the photos you placed, compressed without quality loss, to our storage. Anonymous projects are kept for 30 days after the last edit; the project document and small previews are kept for 90 days so you can come back. Paid plans, when they launch, extend this as described on the pricing page. Deleting a project removes its files on the next cleanup run, normally within 24 hours.
04
Accounts
You do not need an account for your first project. If you create one, we store your email address and a sign-in token so you can reopen projects on another device. We send email only about your account or a project you asked us to remember.
05
Analytics and cookies
We use privacy-respecting, cookie-less analytics on the marketing pages to count visits and see which guides help. The editor records product events (for example “export started”) without photo content. We use a bot-protection check on upload endpoints to stop abuse. No advertising trackers, no fingerprinting.
06
Where data lives and who sees it
Files and databases are hosted with our infrastructure providers and are encrypted in transit and at rest. Staff access is limited to what is needed to run the service and fix problems. We will only disclose data when the law requires it.
07
Your rights and contact
You can export or delete your projects from within the editor. To delete an account or ask what we hold about you, email hello@foldpic.com and we will respond within 30 days. This page was last updated on 2026-09-07; we will note changes here.
