Our commitment
Cannot Vanish backup.
Every approved upload is mirrored to a cloud the host owns. We show you the proof, and we alert you if anything ever needs reconnecting. Most event-photo apps make this a slogan. We make it operational.
The five things we commit to, in writing
1. Every approved guest photo is auto-mirrored to a cloud destination YOU own — within 24 hours.
Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Amazon S3, or any WebDAV server (Nextcloud, ownCloud, Synology, QNAP). You connect it once; we copy every approved photo automatically. Original quality. No re-encoding. No watermarks.
2. If Galeira ever shuts down, registered hosts get 90 days notice and a clear export path.
This follows the shutdown commitment in our Terms: Forever-tier events get a final mirror to the connected cloud, Wedding-tier events get a bulk-download link for the archive window remaining, and Free-tier events get a 60-day download window.
3. We will never use your guest photos to train AI models — ours, or anyone else's.
Not for face-match training, not for image generation, not licensed to a third-party dataset, not used to fine-tune a model we resell. Even our moderation provider (Amazon Rekognition) discards images after each request. Documented in our privacy policy.
4. We will never sell your guest data or your photos. Ever.
No data brokers. No marketing-list resale. No silent partnerships. If Galeira is ever acquired, this no-sale/no-training commitment must transfer with the company or hosts get clear notice and export options under the Terms.
5. Once a year, we email every host: “your photos are still safe. Last sync: N days ago.”
A boring email that proves the mirror is alive. If you ever stop receiving it, something is wrong and we want to know. Reply to that email and a human (the founder) replies within 48 hours.
How this works in practice
- 1. Guests upload through your QR code. Files land in Galeira so the event gallery, moderation, slideshow, and ZIP export can work.
- 2. Approved originals mirror to your connected cloud. The mirror destination is the host's account, not a Galeira-owned folder.
- 3. Failures are visible. If a cloud connection expires or a folder is unavailable, Galeira retries and alerts the host instead of silently dropping the promise.
- 4. Export remains available while the archive is active. You can download a ZIP from Galeira, and mirrored copies already in your cloud remain yours.
What this is NOT
- Not a guarantee of business continuity. No solo startup can credibly promise to exist in 30 years. The point of #1 is that you don't need us to exist — your photos live in your cloud regardless.
- Not a guarantee against cloud-provider failure. If Google Drive loses your data, that's on Google. The point of #1 is multiplying the places your photos live (us + your cloud) so a failure of any single provider can't take everything.
- Not a substitute for your own backup. We recommend connecting at least one cloud destination so the wedge actually applies. If you don't, your photos live only on Galeira — that's less safe than what we're committing to here.
