🔒 Your photos never leave your device — ever. All photo processing in Fotostrip happens entirely in your browser. We never upload, store, or see your images. Here's everything else you need to know.
At Fotostrip ("we", "us", "our"), your privacy is our top priority. This policy explains what information we collect when you use our free online photobooth at fotostrip.online and how we handle it.
Fotostrip processes all photos entirely within your web browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your photos are never uploaded to, stored on, or transmitted to our servers. All image data remains local to your device at all times.
When you download your photo strip, it goes directly from your browser to your device — it does not pass through any server. We have no technical ability to access, view, or retrieve any photo you take or upload.
Fotostrip requests access to your device's camera solely to power the live photobooth feature. Camera permission is entirely optional — you can use the "Upload Photos" feature without granting camera access.
We do not record, stream, store, or transmit your camera feed at any time. Your camera is only active while you are on the camera screen, and stops immediately when you navigate away.
We collect minimal data to operate and improve the service:
We do not collect your name, email address, or any account information — because you never need to create one.
Fotostrip displays advertisements served by Google AdSense to keep the service free. Google may use cookies to show you personalised ads based on your browsing history across websites.
You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time by visiting google.com/settings/ads. Google's advertising practices are governed by the Google Advertising Policies.
We use cookies for analytics (anonymous) and advertising (Google AdSense). You can opt out of advertising cookies via your browser settings or Google Ad Settings at any time.

We use the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policies:
Fotostrip is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through our service, please contact us at privacy@fotostrip.online and we will delete it promptly.
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your data. Since we collect no personal photos and minimal analytics data:
Analytics data is retained for 14 months per Google Analytics default settings. Server logs are retained for 30 days. No photo data is ever retained — it never reaches our servers in the first place.
We may update this policy occasionally. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of Fotostrip after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
If you have any questions about this privacy policy or how we handle data, please reach out — we're happy to help.
