PhotoX privacy

Who runs PhotoX

PhotoX is made and run by Exlynks Technologies, India. At each event we run it for the event’s organiser, who owns the event photos.

Under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, the organiser is the Data Fiduciary and Exlynks is its Data Processor.

What PhotoX uses

• The selfie you take or upload to search.
• Face templates: numbers that describe a face, made from your selfie and from the event photos. They are not pictures.
• The event photos the organiser uploads.

Why

Only to find your photos in that event’s album. Nothing else.

Your choice

Searching is optional. You agree to this policy when you upload a selfie to search.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by writing to info@exlynks.com. We then delete your selfie and your search results. Searches already done are not affected.

How long we keep it

• Your selfie and its face template: deleted as soon as your search finishes.
• Face templates of the event photos: deleted when the event’s gallery closes.
• Event photos: deleted when the gallery closes. That is after 7 days on the Event plan, 30 days on Event Plus, or the period agreed for a large event.

What we never do

• Sell your data.
• Use it for advertising.
• Use your selfie or the event photos to train or improve our face matching.
• Share it with anyone other than the event’s organiser, unless the law requires it.

Who sees your results

Only you see the photos your search finds. Your selfie is never shown to anyone.

How it is protected

Data travels over encrypted connections. It is stored on access-controlled servers, and only the Exlynks staff who run PhotoX can reach it.

Children

If you are under 18, a parent or guardian must search for you, or give their consent before you search.

Your rights

• Ask what data we hold about you.
• Ask us to correct or delete it.
• Withdraw your consent.
• Name someone to act for you if you cannot.
• Complain to us and, if you are not satisfied, to the Data Protection Board of India.

For event organisers

Every organiser signs our PhotoX data terms, which set out these same rules. Ask us for a copy.

Changes to this policy

If PhotoX starts using data in a new way, we update this page first and change the date below.
