Privacy

Short version: your photos never leave your device. We can't see them, store them or share them.

Your photos

When you take or upload a photo, your own browser processes it. Face detection, cropping, checking and creating the download all happen on your phone or computer. The photo is never sent to SkipTheBooth or anyone else, and it's gone when you close the page.

You can check this yourself. Once the page has loaded, turn on airplane mode and the tool still works. The page's security settings also stop it from connecting to any other website.

What we do collect

• Anonymous usage counts. To see how many people use SkipTheBooth, our own server counts page views and how many photos are checked, downloaded and printed, for each document type. The count says, for example, "a UK passport photo was downloaded". It never includes the photo or anything about your face.
• Daily visitor numbers. To count visitors without cookies, we combine your IP address and browser type with a secret that changes every day, and keep only the scrambled result. We never store your IP address. The scrambled value can't be traced back to you, can't follow you from one day to the next, and is deleted after that day has been totalled.
• Opting out. If your browser sends "Do Not Track" or Global Privacy Control, we don't count you at all.
• Nothing else. There are no accounts, no sign-up, no cookies and no third-party trackers.

If we later add adverts or a paid upgrade, we'll update this page first. That includes asking for consent before using any advertising cookies, and naming the payment provider that handles your card details.

Children

Many people use SkipTheBooth for children's and babies' photos. Because no photo is ever uploaded or stored, no child's image is held by us. We don't profile users or show personalised adverts to young people.
