Everyone's photos of the moment, together.
Scan the event's QR, and every photo the group takes lands in everyone's library — automatically.
The app
Three screens. That's the whole thing.
How it works
Three steps. No account.
Scan the event QR
Point your camera at the host's code to join. That's the whole sign-up.
Your photos flow in
Only pictures taken after you join go to the event. Screenshots and saved memes stay out.
Everyone's arrive in your library
The whole group's photos of the moment land right in your camera roll. No shared album to check.
Private by design
Your camera roll stays yours.
SnapSync was built so a guest can share the moment without handing over their photo library. It shares only what belongs to the event — and nothing about you.
No account
No email, no password, no profile. You join an event by scanning it.
Anonymous by design
Your device is a random ID — never your name, number, or contacts.
Event-scoped
Photos are shared to that one event and reach only the people in it.
No tracking
No ads, no analytics, no cookies. This site sets nothing on your device.
Legal
Privacy Policy
SnapSync ("we", "the app") is an independent project that lets people share the photos from an event with each other. This policy explains what data the app processes and why. We designed SnapSync to collect as little as possible: there are no accounts, and we never ask for your name, email, phone number, or contacts.
Who is responsible
The data controller for SnapSync is the project's operator, reachable at stefanh+snapsync@posteo.de. Please use this address for any privacy question or request.
What we process, and why
- Photos you share. When you join an event, photos you take afterwards are uploaded so the other people in that event can receive them. They are stored to make sharing work, and are removed when the event ends. Legal basis: performance of the service you asked for (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)).
- A random device ID. Each install generates a random identifier so the service can tell devices apart within an event. It is not linked to your identity and we cannot use it to contact you.
- A push token. If you allow notifications, Apple gives the app a token so we can tell your device when new photos are ready. It is used only for that.
- An app-integrity check. The app proves to our server that it is a genuine, unmodified copy of SnapSync (Apple App Attest). This checks the app, not you, and carries no personal information. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in preventing abuse of the service (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).
- Crash and error reports. When the app crashes or hits an error, a technical report (what went wrong, device model, iOS version, app version) is sent to our error-monitoring service so we can find and fix the problem. Before anything is sent, the app removes identifiers from the report — event and device identifiers never leave your phone. Each report carries a random per-install identifier so we can tell how many devices an error affects; it is generated by the app, not linked to your identity, and not linked to the device identifier above. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in keeping the app working (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).
We do not use analytics, advertising, or tracking of any kind — in the app or on this website.
Who processes it for us
We rely on three service providers to run SnapSync:
- Bunny.net — hosting, storage, and content delivery for the photos and the service.
- Apple — push notifications, the app-integrity check, and app distribution.
- Bugsink — error monitoring: receives the crash and error reports described above (with identifiers already removed).
How long we keep photos
Photos are stored only to enable sharing within an event. They are deleted within 30 days of the day the event starts — always, without exception. Often they go sooner: once every member has left an event, its photos are removed in the next nightly cleanup. If you want data associated with your device removed sooner still, email us at the address above.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data, and you can lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Because we hold no name or email for you, we may need your device's identifier to act on a request — email us and we'll help.
Changes
We may update this policy; the "last updated" date above always reflects the current version.

Your photos
You keep all rights to the photos you share. By sharing a photo to an event, you grant us the limited permission needed to store, transmit, and deliver it to the other members of that event, and you confirm you have the right to share it.
Acceptable use
You agree not to use SnapSync to share unlawful content, to share images of people without the consent required where you are, or to interfere with, abuse, or attempt to circumvent the service or its integrity checks.
Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of data, arising from your use of this beta software.
