FlashPic exists to move a photo from a photographer to the person in it. We collect what that takes and nothing else. We do not sell personal information, we do not run advertising, and we do not use third-party analytics or tracking.
If you sign in with Apple, we receive your name and email address as Apple provides them — if you choose Apple's private relay address, that relay address is all we ever see. You can use FlashPic without signing in at all, in which case we store only a random identifier generated by your device.
We store the photos you choose to send, and details about each shoot: the price you set, when it was created, and how many times the code was opened.
FlashPic reads your camera roll only to find photos added since your last shoot, and only after you grant permission. That happens on your device. No photo leaves your phone unless you send it.
If you connect a payout account, that account is created with and held by Stripe. Your bank details, tax identification and identity documents go to Stripe directly. FlashPic never sees or stores them. We store only Stripe's account identifier and whether the account is approved to take payments.
You don't need an account and we don't ask for anything. If you pay, the payment is processed by Stripe and goes to the photographer, who is the merchant of record. Card details are entered on Stripe's page and never reach FlashPic. Our server records that a shoot's page was opened, as a count, without identifying you.
Photos and their shoot records are deleted from our servers 48 hours after the shoot is created. This is automatic and applies whether or not anyone paid. Photographer account records persist until you ask us to delete them.
Two companies process data on our behalf: Stripe, for payments and payout accounts, and Render, which hosts our servers. Nobody else receives your data.
You can revoke photo access at any time in your device settings, and sign out from the Account screen. To get a copy of what we hold about you, or to have it deleted, write to flashpicdeveloper@gmail.com. We'll action it within 30 days.
FlashPic is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.
If this policy changes we'll post the new version here with an updated date. Significant changes affecting photographers will also be announced in the app.
