Do event photo apps sell or share my photos with third parties?

This varies by platform — it's exactly the kind of thing the privacy policy should spell out clearly, and it's worth checking before you upload anything sensitive.

Is AI face search in event apps safe to use?

It can be, particularly when the recognition runs on the platform's own self-hosted systems rather than being sent to an outside facial recognition vendor. Ask how the specific platform handles it.

Does malware scanning guarantee my gallery is 100% safe?

No responsible platform should claim that. Scanning is a real, useful layer of defense-in-depth that catches most threats, but no scanning system can promise it catches every possible threat.

How do I know if a gallery is private or public?

Check the platform's access settings directly — look for passcode protection, invite-only access, or the ability to close the gallery after the event, rather than assuming based on the sign-up flow.
