Privacy information

I live in Canada and I am just wondering if the files being transferred are being stored on this server used to shuttle images through? I am just concerned about privacy.
Dear Christina,

Thank you for posting your question here, I will be happy to help you.

That is a very fair question and I will be happy to explain how our app works. If you are concerned about having the location services turned on, our app needs to have the location services turned on in order to transfer photos. Do not worry, we cannot see any of the data collected on any of these photos that you are transferring. As a matter of fact we do not have access to any of your content at all. When you connect your iDevice to your computer using our app it creates a temporary secure network between those two devices alone. Only you have access to it. Nothing is stored online on a temporary server or anything like that. Only you can see / have access to your photo(s).

Just to clarify about location services. Apple requires all apps that need access to the photos stored on the device to have 'Location Services' enabled. This is because some of your photos may be geo-tagged and therefore Apple requests the user to allow the app to read your photos. We do not use that information at all. We take the photo files exactly as they are stored on the device to transfer them intact to the receiving device.

I hope this helps to explain why our app needs to have the location services turned on. If you have any more questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to ask.

Kind Regards,

Amber
