Privacy policy
Effective November 11, 2026
- We take your photo because you used the booth, and we give it back to you through a private link.
- Photos and links are deleted from our servers after 72 hours.
- Your phone number is optional. If you give it, we use it once, to text you your link.
- We don't sell your information, show ads, or send marketing.
Who we are
I Spy YuYu is a photo booth operated by Wayne Francis at private parties and events. In this policy, "we" means the booth operator. You can reach us at vendors@ispyyuyu.com.
What we collect
- Photos and videos you take at the booth, including GIFs, boomerangs and photo strips made from them. Video messages include sound.
- Your mobile number, only if you choose to type it in to receive your link by text.
- Your display choice, if the event has venue screens: whether you agreed to show your photo on them.
- Basic technical information when you open your link, such as IP address, browser type and time of the request. Our hosting provider records this in the normal course of serving a web page.
We don't ask for your name or email address, and we don't use cookies, analytics or advertising trackers on this site.
How we use it
- To create your photos and show them to you on the booth.
- To store them briefly so you can view and save them from your link.
- To send you one text message with that link, if you asked for it.
- To show your photos on screens at the event, if the event has them and you left that option on.
- To keep the service working and secure.
Text messages
Receiving a text is optional and is not required to use the booth; you can always scan the QR code. If you enter your mobile number, you agree to receive one text message for that photo session with a link to your photos. We don't send marketing or recurring messages. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, or HELP for help.
We do not share mobile numbers or text-messaging consent with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Your number is passed to our text-messaging provider only so the message can be delivered, and we delete it from our systems once the message has been sent or the session expires, whichever comes first.
Screens at the event
Some events show booth photos on screens around the venue. When that feature is on, the booth asks before you finish whether to show your photos on the big screen. If you turn it off, your photos are not shown there.
How long we keep it
- On our servers: photos, videos and their links are deleted 72 hours after they are taken.
- On the booth device and venue screen player: copies are deleted on the same 72-hour schedule.
- Phone numbers: deleted once your text has been sent or the session expires.
- Copies kept by the host: At the event host's request, we can save a copy of that event's photos and videos to a storage device the host provides, such as a USB stick or SD card. That copy is handed to the host, who is then responsible for it. We do not keep a copy of it ourselves. If you would like a photo removed from a host's copy, please contact the host of the event.
Once you save a photo to your own phone, that copy is yours and is not affected by our deletion.
Who can see your photos
Your link contains a long random code and is not listed anywhere. Anyone who has the link can open it during the 72 hours, so share it only with people you want to see the photos. People standing near the booth, and at the venue screens if you allowed it, can also see photos as they are taken.
Who we share it with
We don't sell or rent your information. We use a small number of service providers to run the booth, and they handle information only to provide that service:
- Cloudflare, which hosts this site and stores the photos.
- Twilio, which delivers text messages.
We may disclose information if the law requires it.
Your choices
- Skip the text. Use the QR code and never enter a phone number.
- Stay off the big screen. Turn off the display option at the booth.
- Delete early. Email vendors@ispyyuyu.com with your link, and we will remove those photos before the 72 hours are up.
- Stop texts. Reply STOP to any message from us.
Children
The booth is used at family events, and children may appear in photos with their parents or guardians. We don't knowingly collect phone numbers from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and want a photo of your child removed, email us and we will delete it.
Security
Photos are sent and stored using encrypted connections, links are protected by long random codes, and stored items are deleted automatically on schedule. No system is perfectly secure, but we keep as little as we can for as short a time as we can.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will post the new version here with a new effective date.
