Your photography remains yours.

You own every photograph you upload. Nothing you upload transfers copyright or grants Fifth Stop rights beyond what's needed to display and score the image inside the app.

Uploaded images are stored in Fifth Stop's cloud storage, tied to your account. You choose public or private visibility at upload time. Private photos are only readable by you; that access is enforced at the database and storage layer, not just in the UI.

The image and its metadata are sent to a vision AI provider strictly to generate the score and critique that come back to you. We do not sell your photographs, and we do not authorize the AI provider to use them to train third-party models. Public photos may appear in feeds, leaderboards, Expeditions, and Duels within Fifth Stop.

Your photographs are kept until you delete them. Deleting a photo removes the file and its scores from active storage. Deleting your account removes your photos, scores, reactions, and profile.

Fifth Stop may read basic technical metadata (dimensions, format) and any location or title text you type in when uploading. It does not require GPS/EXIF, and does not publish precise GPS coordinates.

Contact us and we'll remove your account and all associated photographs. Self-serve account deletion is on the roadmap.
