Privacy Policy

Last updated November 2025

This policy explains what information InstaBooth collects when you use the service at instabooth.pro, why we collect it, and what rights you have over it.

What we collect

  • Your email address, and a securely hashed password if you create an account (we never store your actual password).
  • The photos you take during your session — held only long enough to deliver them to you, then deleted (see "How long we keep it" below).
  • Your IP address and a device "fingerprint" (basic browser/screen details) — used only to limit abuse of the free-Premium-shots promo, not to track you across the web.
  • Payment records (amount, status, reference) for top-ups. Your card/e-wallet details go directly to our payment processor — we never see or store them.

How we use it

  • To run your session and deliver your photos (e.g. by email).
  • To manage your account, credits, and free-shot allowance.
  • To detect and limit fraud/abuse of free credits.
  • To process payments and keep accurate transaction records.

Who we share it with

We share song search queries with a third-party music catalog service (no personal info beyond the search text) and payment details with a third-party payment processor to process top-ups. We don't sell your data.

How long we keep it

Photos: not stored. Your photo is deleted from our server as soon as it's emailed to you, and any copy left over from a failed or abandoned session is automatically purged shortly after — we have no way to retrieve it once that happens. Downloading saves directly from your device and never involves our servers at all.

Everything else (account, credit, and payment records): for as long as your account is active, or as needed for legal, accounting, or fraud-prevention reasons after that.

Your rights

You can ask us to access, correct, or delete your account data at any time by contacting photo@instabooth.pro.

Security

We apply industry-standard security practices to protect your account and data — passwords are hashed (never stored in plain text), sessions are protected against forgery, and payment details never touch our servers directly. For obvious reasons, we don't publish the specifics of our security measures here.

This is a general policy summary, not a substitute for legal advice. If you have questions about how it applies to your situation, especially under the Philippine Data Privacy Act (RA 10173), contact us at photo@instabooth.pro.
