What happens to your photos on Year Edition

You're trusting us with personal memories, so here's exactly what happens to them, without legal jargon. The full details are in our privacy policy.

Before upload: on your phone

Your browser reads the photo's date, shrinks the photo, and creates a new image file. This new file doesn't contain the hidden data from the original, such as GPS location or camera details. The original photo never leaves your phone.

What we store

• A smaller copy of each photo (about 1080 pixels on the long side) and a small thumbnail.
• The day each photo is placed on.
• Your trips, flights and train rides.
• If you sign up: your email address. Passwords are handled by our login provider and stored in hashed form; we never see them.

Who can see it

Your calendar is shared by link. Anyone who has your link can see your calendar and its photos, so only add photos you'd be happy to share with the people you send it to. Personal calendar pages are hidden from search engines.

No ads, no selling

We don't run ads and we don't sell your data or photos. We count page visits with cookie-free analytics that never sees your photos.

Deleting

You can remove any photo, trip or journey at any time from the calendar. To delete your whole account and everything in it, contact us from the Contact page and we'll do it.
