Terms of use

1. Provider and scope

Picdrop is run by the person named in the imprint. These terms apply to everyone using Picdrop – account holders who create galleries as well as guests who upload or view photos.

2. The service

Picdrop is a free service for short-lived shared photo galleries. A gallery and all its photos are permanently deleted 7 days after the last upload. There are no backups – please download any photos you want to keep. There is no entitlement to continuous availability.

3. Accounts and galleries

You must be at least 16 years old to create an account. Whoever creates a gallery decides who gets the link, and is responsible for pointing participants to these terms and for deleting inadmissible photos from their gallery. Anyone who knows the link or code can view the gallery and upload photos.

4. What you confirm when uploading

• You hold the rights to the photos (e.g. because you took them yourself).
• Everyone recognizably shown agrees to the photos being uploaded and shared. For children and teenagers, their parents or guardians must agree.
• The photos do not violate applicable law or these terms.

5. Prohibited content

• Child sexual abuse material and any sexualized depiction of minors
• Intimate or humiliating images of people without their consent, covert recordings
• Pornographic content
• Depictions of violence, incitement to hatred, anti-constitutional symbols and any other criminal content
• Content that infringes the copyright, trademarks or personality rights of others
• Malware, spam or attempts to disrupt the service

6. Reports and moderation

Photos are not reviewed before they appear. You can report unlawful content or violations of your rights at any time using “Report content” in any gallery. We review every report promptly and remove content that is not allowed. The gallery's creator is told about the removal and the reason and can object by email. We may report criminal content to law enforcement.

7. Blocking and deletion

If these terms are violated, we may delete photos, galleries and accounts without notice. You can delete your account yourself at any time under “My galleries”.

8. Liability

Users are responsible for the content they upload. As the service is free of charge, we are only liable for intent and gross negligence; liability for injury to life, body or health remains unaffected.

9. Point of contact

The single point of contact for users and authorities (Art. 11, 12 DSA) is the email address given in the imprint. We communicate in German and English.

10. Changes

We may change these terms, for example when the service or the law changes. The version published here applies.
