ShareProof Privacy

Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 8, 2026

ShareProof helps creators keep a dated record of their original photos and videos and see where their work appears. This Privacy Policy explains what stays on your phone, what we store, and how connected platforms such as Pinterest are handled.

This policy applies to the ShareProof iPhone app and the shareproof.app website.

1. What stays on your phone

  • Your original photos and videos stay on your phone. ShareProof does not upload them.
  • A small preview of each work you register is kept on your phone. If you turn on "Sync small previews across devices" in Privacy and Data, a 256-pixel copy of each preview is stored in your private ShareProof account so your other devices can show it. Turning it off deletes those copies, and deleting your account removes them.
  • If you choose "Search the web" for a work, ShareProof sends one small copy (at most 512 pixels) to Google Cloud Vision to look for public pages showing it. The copy is used only for that search and is not stored by ShareProof. You can use up to 20 searches a month.

2. Information we collect and store

  • Account details: your email address, sign-in method, display name, handle, role, and the profile details you choose to add.
  • Records of your registered works: a copy ID, a title, the date, whether it is a photo or a video, and a digital fingerprint. A fingerprint is a compact set of numbers that describes how an image looks. It cannot be turned back into the image.
  • Invisible watermark: each protected copy can carry an invisible watermark that encodes its copy ID. The watermark is added on your phone; we store only the copy ID it points to.
  • Connected platform data: when you connect a platform such as Pinterest, we store your account identifier and handle, an access token and a refresh token (kept in a private vault that the app cannot read), the list of your own posts, their numbers (for example impressions, saves and clicks), and which of them match your registered works.
  • Appearances we find: the platform, the account that posted a match, a link, the date, and its credit status.
  • Anonymous usage data: which screens and features are used, such as screen opened or work registered. It never includes photos, fingerprints, copy IDs, handles or emails, and it is not linked to your identity. You can turn it off in Privacy and Data.
  • Anonymous error reports: if the app hits an error, it sends the screen name, a short error message with personal details removed, the app version and the iOS version. Error reports are not linked to your identity.
  • Passport reports: if someone reports a public Passport, we store the reason and a keyed one-way code for the reporter, used only to stop abuse.
  • Security and diagnostic logs needed to keep the service working and safe.
  • We do not collect your precise location, your contacts, or an advertising identifier, and we do not track you across other apps or websites.

3. How we use information

  • To let you register your work, add a visible mark and copy ID, and keep a dated record.
  • To show where your work appears and how it performs on the platforms you connect.
  • To publish your Passport if you choose to, and to handle reports about public Passports.
  • To keep ShareProof secure, prevent abuse, fix problems, and meet legal obligations.
  • To send sign-in, security and account messages. We do not send marketing email without your consent.

4. Pinterest

  • ShareProof connects to Pinterest only after you choose to connect and approve access on Pinterest. We never see or store your Pinterest password.
  • We ask for read-only permission to view your Pinterest account, boards and pins (the pins:read, boards:read and user_accounts:read scopes).
  • We use that access to identify your account, list your own pins, compare your pin images with the fingerprints of your registered works (we download a pin image only to calculate its fingerprint and do not keep the image), and show you the impressions, saves and clicks of your own pins in your private dashboard.
  • We do not post, edit boards, send messages, or change anything on your Pinterest account, and we do not access other people's data.
  • We do not sell, rent or share Pinterest data, and we do not use it for advertising, data brokerage, profiling, or to train artificial intelligence models.
  • You can disconnect at any time in the app (Profile, Connected sources, Disconnect) or by removing ShareProof in your Pinterest account settings. When you disconnect, we delete your Pinterest tokens and the Pinterest numbers, pin links and matches stored for your account, and we stop all requests to Pinterest. Deleting your account removes everything else.

5. Your Passport

  • Your Passport is a public web page that shows the work you choose to share. It is off until you publish it, and you can unpublish it at any time.
  • A published Passport shows your handle, display name, and the works you share. It does not show your private records, tokens, or connected account details.
  • Anyone can report a Passport. We may hide or remove a Passport that breaks our terms or the law.

6. Sharing

  • We do not sell your personal information and we do not share it with advertisers.
  • We use service providers that host and run ShareProof: Supabase (database and servers), Resend (sign-in and security email), Google Cloud Vision (only for web searches you start), Pinterest (only if you connect it), and Vercel (website hosting). They may process your information only to provide their service to us.
  • We may disclose information if the law requires it, to respond to valid legal process, or to protect the safety and rights of our users and the service.

7. Retention and deletion

  • We keep your records while your account is active.
  • You can delete your account in the app (Profile, Account, Delete account). We then delete your account data, records, fingerprints, platform connections and tokens, subject to short backup and legal-retention periods.
  • Anonymous usage data is not linked to you and is kept only in aggregate form.

8. Your choices and rights

  • You can see and change your account details in the app, and you can delete your account at any time.
  • You can turn off anonymous usage data in Privacy and Data, and disconnect any connected platform whenever you like.
  • Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, portability, or restriction of your personal information.
  • To make a privacy request, email hello@shareproof.app.

9. Security

  • We use technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect your information, including encrypted connections, access controls, row-level security, separation of server-only keys, and encrypted storage of platform tokens.
  • No system is perfectly secure. If we learn of a security incident affecting your information, we will notify you as required by applicable law.

10. Children

  • ShareProof is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

11. International users

  • ShareProof is operated from the United States. If you use ShareProof from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate.

12. Changes to this policy

  • We may update this Privacy Policy as ShareProof changes. If a change is material, we will tell you in the app, on the website, or by email before it applies.
