Privacy policy

Salo is a digital disposable camera for events in the Philippines, run from the Philippines. This page says what we collect, why, who helps us handle it, how long we keep it and how to have it removed. We follow the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173).

Questions or requests: hello@saloph.com.

Guests

Guests never make an account. When you scan an event's QR code we keep:

• 01The photos you take, and when you took them.
• 02A random device number your browser makes up, so your shot count follows you if you reload the page. It is not linked to your name, phone number or any account.
• 03That you agreed to the event's terms, and which version of them.
• 04Your internet address, briefly, to stop one machine flooding an event.

Only the event's host can see the photos before the album opens. After that, everyone with the event's link can. We never publish, sell or share them, and never use them to train anything.

Hosts

• 01Your email address. It is how you sign in (we email you a link; there is no password) and how we reach you about your event.
• 02Your events: the name, date, settings and the photos taken at them.
• 03What you paid and when. Card and wallet details are handled by Google Play or PayMongo and never reach us.
• 04A sign-in cookie, so you stay signed in on your phone.

Who helps us

These services process data for us, only to run Salo, under their own security terms:

• 01Supabase (database, Singapore).
• 02Cloudflare R2 (photo storage).
• 03Vercel (the website and app servers).
• 04Resend (sign-in and event emails).
• 05Google Play (payments in the Android app) and PayMongo (payments on the website).
• 06Google Analytics, on the website only, and only after you tap Allow. Never on the guest camera, the host app or the album.

How long we keep it

Each plan says how long its album stays open. When it closes, the photos are kept 30 more days in case the host needs it reopened, then erased for good. We keep no backup that outlives that. Records of what was paid are kept as long as tax law requires; they contain no photos.

Your rights, and deleting your data

You can ask what we hold about you, have it corrected, or have it deleted. A host can delete their account and its events from the app: menu, then Delete account. Anyone can also ask for deletion here. A guest who wants a photo removed can ask the host before the reveal, or write to us at any time.

You can also complain to the National Privacy Commission (privacy.gov.ph).

Children

Salo is for event hosts, who must be adults. Children appear in event photos as they do in any family photo; those photos are handled exactly as above.
