Photos are used to make, deliver and fix a film. This page says what that means in practice.
- What happens to my photos?
- We use them only to make, deliver and fix your film. When they arrive, we remove location and camera data. They’re deleted 30 days after your film is delivered, and you can delete everything sooner. Your film stays online for 12 months, or 3 years with Heirloom.
- Do you use my photos to train AI?
- No. We don’t train AI on your photos, and we don’t sell or share them for advertising. The music model receives only the mood and the length.
- Who can see my film?
- No one can watch it unless you share a link. A share link works for anyone who has it, so share it with care; you can set it to expire or turn it off at any time. Link previews in chat apps show a Yearlight card, never a photo, and share pages ask search engines not to list them. Your film is never used in our marketing.
- How do I delete everything?
- Open your project and choose Delete this project to remove your photos, films and share links from Yearlight. This cannot be undone or recall copies you downloaded or sent. Removing one source photo also removes film versions and links made from it. Automatic source-photo deletion 30 days after first film delivery keeps the delivered film for its purchased retention period.
