Privacy Policy

Welcome to FreeOnlinePhotobooth ("we," "our," or "the Service"), accessible at freeonlinephotobooth.com. We believe that creative digital tools should bring joy, spontaneity, and laughter without sacrificing your personal privacy.

This Privacy Policy explains clearly and transparently how FreeOnlinePhotobooth operates, how webcam permissions work, what minimal non-personal data is processed, and how your privacy rights are safeguarded under global privacy laws, including the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA).

Traditional photography applications often send your camera photos to remote cloud servers to apply filters, render layouts, and host images. FreeOnlinePhotobooth is built on fundamentally different, privacy-first technology:

Because all processing takes place on your machine, our servers have no technical mechanism to see or intercept your photos. If you disconnect your internet connection after loading the page, the photobooth will continue taking photos and generating downloadable strips smoothly.

To eliminate ambiguity, here is a definitive list of data we never gather, collect, store, or monetize:

• No Photos or Video Streams: Photos captured in the photobooth are never transmitted over the internet to us or any third party.
• No Facial Recognition or Biometrics: We do not scan facial features, analyze biometric markers, or map face geometry.
• No Account or Profile Data: You do not need to register, provide an email address, or create a password to use the service.
• No Financial or Payment Information: FreeOnlinePhotobooth is 100% free with no credit card requirements or paid tiers.
• No Precise Geolocation: We do not request or track your GPS coordinates.

To take snapshots, your web browser will explicitly ask for permission to access your webcam or selfie camera (`navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia`).

Camera access is solely used while the photobooth interface is running. When you close the tab or your browser, camera access is released.

How to Revoke Camera Permissions at Any Time:

• Google Chrome: Click the padlock or tune icon next to the URL bar > Site Settings > Set Camera to "Block".
• Apple Safari (macOS): Go to Safari > Settings > Websites > Camera > Find freeonlinephotobooth.com > Select "Deny".
• Apple iOS (iPhone/iPad): Settings > Safari > Camera > Choose "Ask" or "Deny", or tap the `aA` icon in the Safari address bar.
• Mozilla Firefox: Click the camera icon in the address bar > Clear permissions.
• Microsoft Edge: Click the padlock icon in the address bar > Permissions for this site > Camera > Block.

FreeOnlinePhotobooth does not set cookies and does not save your settings or photos in browser storage. Your timer, layout, frame, and sticker choices exist only while the page is open and are cleared when you close or reload it.

If we ever add a feature that remembers preferences on your device, it will use local browser storage that stays on your device, and we will update this policy.

Like virtually every website on the modern web, our hosting provider and static content delivery networks (CDNs) automatically collect standard HTTP server log information when assets are requested. This may include:

• Anonymized IP address (used for DDoS protection and routing)
• Browser type, operating system, and language preferences
• Referring page URL, date, and timestamp of the request

This aggregate technical data is strictly used for site stability, security maintenance, and performance optimization. It is never associated with individual identities or photobooth sessions.

Google Fonts: Our typefaces (Poppins and Chewy) are loaded from Google Fonts. When your browser requests them, Google receives standard request data such as your IP address and browser type, handled under the Google Privacy Policy. No photos or photobooth data are ever sent to Google.

FreeOnlinePhotobooth is a fun, family-friendly creative tool designed for people of all ages, including teenagers, students, and families.

Because we operate on a zero-server upload model and collect zero personal information, email addresses, or biometric profiles, we fully comply with the provisions of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in the United States and Article 8 of the GDPR in the European Union. Parents and educators can feel confident letting kids take cute webcam pictures knowing no data leaves the device.

Depending on your location, you have rights under regulations such as the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act / California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA). These rights include:

• Right to Know & Access: You have the right to know what personal data is collected about you.
• Right to Deletion: You have the right to request deletion of personal information.
• Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing: We do not sell, rent, or share personal data under any circumstances.
• Non-Discrimination: We never discriminate against any user exercising their statutory privacy rights.

Because FreeOnlinePhotobooth does not collect or retain user identifiable information or photos, there is no database of personal records to access or delete.

Our website enforces secure Transport Layer Security (HTTPS/TLS) across all connections. This ensures that the application code, filters, and assets delivered to your web browser cannot be intercepted or tampered with by unauthorized third parties. Furthermore, web standards mandate HTTPS before modern browsers allow access to camera feeds.
