Policy / effective 28 August 2026

Privacy

Photo Delta Archive is designed so your photos do not need to become anyone else’s data. This policy separates the open-source CLI from this documentation website.

The CLI

The CLI reads only the local paths you provide. It stores media objects, normalized metadata, manifests, and its ledger in the archive directory you choose. It contains no telemetry, tracking, login automation, or network client. Delete the archive directory to delete all data it created.

This website

The interactive walkthrough uses fixed sample filenames and runs entirely in your browser. It does not accept or upload photo files. The service worker may cache public site files so the documentation works offline.

Licenses and payment

If you purchase or restore Steward access, the license token and its last verification result are stored in your browser’s local storage. Verification sends that token to the Sociobot billing API no more than once per day. You can remove it with “Remove license from this device” or by clearing site data. Checkout is hosted by Sociobot/Dodo, the merchant of record; their checkout privacy terms apply to payment details.

Analytics and contact

This site loads no third-party scripts, fonts, advertising, social pixels, or behavioral analytics. The deployed host may retain short-lived security and request logs. For privacy requests, contact privacy@sociobot.in.
