How It Works
Polaroid Booth is a 100% client-side application. This means:
- All photo processing happens directly in your web browser
- Your photos stay on your device at all times
- When you close the browser, everything is gone
- No data is transmitted to our servers
Camera Access
When you use the camera feature:
- We request camera permission through your browser
- The camera feed is processed locally in your browser
- No video or images are recorded or transmitted
- You can revoke camera access at any time through your browser settings
Downloaded Photos
When you download a photo:
- The photo is saved directly to your device
- We don't keep a copy
- The download happens entirely in your browser
Analytics and Tracking
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website. This helps us improve Polaroid Booth and understand which features are most popular.
What Google Analytics Collects:
