Pycter is a photo sharing and synchronization application designed with privacy as a core principle.
Pycter allows users to store and share photos across devices and with other people using end-to-end encryption (E2EE). This means that photos and associated metadata are encrypted on the user's device before transmission and cannot be accessed by Pycter or its servers.
This Privacy Policy explains how personal data is collected, used, stored, and protected when you use:
This policy is written in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable Belgian and European Union data protection laws.
Data controller: Louis Regout, Belgium.

Pycter is intended for the general public and is not designed for children. You must be at least 16 years old to use Pycter.
Pycter does not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 16. If you believe that a minor has provided personal data, please contact us so it can be removed.
Depending on how you use Pycter, we may process:
Creating an account is not required for the free tier.
The following data may be stored on Pycter servers only in encrypted form:
Pycter cannot read, view, or access this content or its metadata.
For the proper functioning and security of the service, Pycter may process:
This data is not used for advertising or behavioral profiling.
Pycter cannot access the content of your photos or their metadata.
When you share content within an album:
Due to the end-to-end encrypted nature of Pycter, content already synchronized to other users' devices cannot be retroactively revoked. Leaving an album prevents future synchronization but does not remove data already received by others.
Users may delete their Pycter account at any time. Upon deletion:
Content previously shared with other users may remain on their devices, as Pycter cannot remove encrypted data already synchronized.
Pycter relies on a limited number of trusted service providers acting strictly as data processors:
These services may process technical identifiers strictly necessary for security and functionality. They are not permitted to use data for advertising or profiling.
Pycter does not display advertising, sell personal data, track users across apps or websites, or perform behavioral profiling. No advertising identifiers are used.
Pycter servers are currently located within the European Union. If the service expands internationally, personal data may be processed outside the EU using appropriate safeguards, including Standard Contractual Clauses and strong encryption.
Under the GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or port your personal data, and to withdraw consent at any time. Contact us at privacy@pycter.com to exercise these rights.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. In Belgium: Autorité de protection des données (APD).
If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to access and delete your personal data. Pycter does not sell personal data and does not share personal data for advertising purposes.
This Privacy Policy may be updated to reflect changes in the service or legal requirements. When significant changes are made, the updated version will be published on this page with a revised "last updated" date.
