Your rights
Your photos are yours. Full stop.
Most of what follows is the kind of thing a platform should never have to spell out. We spell it out anyway, because the industry taught photographers to assume the worst. Every line below is in our binding terms. Five of them are enforced by the way the software is built. Numbers 05 and 06 are promises about how we run the business, and no code can enforce those, so we are not going to dress them up as anything else.
- 01
Delete means delete
Remove a photo and our right to show it ends immediately.
How
The file we keep is purged from storage and pulled from every rendition queue, and its caption, camera data and location are wiped with it. A reported photo is kept privately for up to 30 days so a reviewer can still judge it, then destroyed. Backup copies, there only to undo a mistake, are gone within 30 days. No 90-day grace, no shadow copy retained “for your convenience”.
- 02
No one reposts your work
No repost button: because no one should be able to pass off your work as their own.
How
Sharing sends a link and an attributed card — never your file. Your name travels with every reference to the image.
- 03
Your name travels on the image
One toggle burns credit into every copy we serve. Your name takes priority over our brand.
How
Turn the watermark on per photo, or make it your default, and we render a discreet corner credit into the copies we serve: © you · panoramble, in the site’s instrument type. The photo we keep is never touched — the credit lives on a derived serving copy, and switching it off removes it everywhere. It works the same on every plan, because a credit is a right, not an upsell.
- 04
Your EXIF stays intact
Capture data and the credit stay with your photo. GPS never leaves with it.
How
We keep your photo’s EXIF verbatim — time, camera, lens, settings, author. We keep a high-quality copy of each photo, its EXIF carried across byte for byte; on Field you can choose to keep your original instead, untouched. Either way it’s the point of the platform, so we never strip it the way a feed optimised for engagement would. The deliberate exception is location: GPS never ships in anything we serve. The renditions the world sees carry no metadata at all, and the only location shown is the pin of the Stop it’s on, at that place’s precision. If your camera or editor signed the file with Content Credentials (C2PA), we check the signature when you upload, on every plan, and only a signature that checks out earns the verified badge. A copy can’t carry a signature — resizing a file breaks it — so the badge on a copy records what we checked on the file you sent; an original you keep keeps its signature. We don’t launder provenance, and we don’t pretend a derivative carries it.
- 05
We don’t train AI on your photos
Your images never become training data. Not for us or anyone else.
How
We don’t run models on your work and we don’t license it to anyone who does. Not opt-out — it simply isn’t a thing we do.
- 06
We don’t sell you or your work
Your personal data isn’t for sale and neither are your images.
How
No data brokers, no sublicensing, no “partners” quietly receiving your library. The business is subscriptions, not your photographs.
- 07
You set the terms
How precisely your Stops show is yours to choose, and on Field, what your EXIF shows.
How
Every public photo sits on a Stop and shows that place’s pin, at its precision: exact, fuzzy or area. On Field you can hide your camera settings, for every new photo or one photo at a time, and what you hid stays hidden if you leave Field. The defaults protect you, not us: precision starts at fuzzy, never exact.
These are commitments, not preferences we reserve the right to revise quietly. If we ever need to change them, we’ll tell you plainly and in advance — not in a diff buried in a terms update.
