Information you provide
When you create a drop, you type an event name and pick a date. Nothing else is
required, and there is no account to create. If you personalize your printable pieces in
the print studio, that happens in your browser, drawn from your own drop.
If you email Photodrop, we receive the email address and message content you send.
Photodrop event photos
When you create a drop, Photodrop stores the event name, the options you choose, an
optional support email, and the photos guests upload. Photos live in Cloudflare object
storage and are reachable only through your drop's private tokenized links. There are
no accounts and no public galleries.
Every album is deleted automatically, by design. When your album window ends, uploads and
downloads stop, and the photos are permanently deleted from our storage shortly after;
nobody has to remember to clean up (we keep a short grace period of a few days so a
morning-after upgrade can still recover the full album). The host can delete any photo at
any time; deleted photos are removed from storage.
Guest phones get a random id saved in their browser so each device's shot count works.
It identifies the browser to that one drop only. Photodrop does not fingerprint devices
and does not track guests across events or sites.
The QR sign and your links
Your QR sign and table cards are drawn in your browser by the print studio, from your
drop’s own guest upload link. The printed QR opens your guest upload page, so anyone
holding the sign can add photos; that is its job. Keep the admin link to yourself: it is
the one that manages the drop and downloads the album.
