Privacy
Last updated 8 November 2026.
What we keep
- Account: your name, email address and a scrambled (hashed) version of your password. We can't see your password.
- Your photos and projects: the photos you upload, the cut-outs, settings and clips you make. As a guest they're deleted 1 hour after you last use them; saved projects are kept until you delete them.
- A login cookie that keeps you signed in, and a short-lived record of recent activity (to stop abuse such as password guessing). No advertising or tracking cookies.
Location and hidden photo data
Photos taken on phones often hide extra data, such as where the photo was taken (GPS), the phone's make and the date. LightBox Pro removes that data from every photo when it's uploaded, and the pictures and clips you download never contain it.
Who can see your things
Only you. Your photos and projects are private to your account (or, as a guest, to your visit). They're not shared, sold or shown to anyone else. The person who runs the server can see account names, emails and how much storage each account uses, to keep the service running.
Site administrators can access saved projects when needed for support and safety (for example, to help you recover a project or to deal with a report of misuse). Every time they open, download, change or delete someone else's project, it is recorded.
Children
LightBox Pro is for people 13 and older, or younger with a parent's or guardian's permission. Parents can ask for a child's account and photos to be deleted at any time.
Deleting your data
Delete projects any time on the Projects page, or delete your whole account (with every photo, project and clip) on your account page. Deletion is immediate.
