Last updated July 2026. Here is the short, plain-language version of how AlbumLift handles your information.
AlbumLift uses the photos you upload only to detect, crop, rotate, restore, and export them. We don't require an account, sell your information, run ads, or use your photos to train AI.
To restore your work after a refresh, we save file names and editing choices in your browser and in a temporary server workspace. The server copy expires after 24 hours of inactivity; your browser may remember edits for 30 days. One essential, signed cookie connects your browser to its workspace and prevents other visitors from opening it. It does not track you across websites.
Our hosting and error-monitoring providers also process standard technical details, such as IP addresses and errors, only to run and secure the service.
Photos are encrypted in transit and stored by our hosting provider while you work. They are deleted after export, or after 24 hours of inactivity if you leave without exporting. We do not keep photo backups.
If you choose automatic orientation, AlbumLift sends a reduced copy of each selected photo to Google Cloud Vision to detect face angle or scene objects. This detects orientation; it does not identify the people in a photo.
You can skip automatic orientation, clear saved data through your browser, or start a new session to delete the current workspace. If our practices change, we will update this page and its date.
