Photoroom trains its image models on uploaded photos with an in-app opt-out and excludes API images, but its terms take a perpetual sublicensable licence over user content and the policy names no security controls or breach notice.
What Photoroom's privacy policy and terms of service say about your data
Training opt-out exists and is in-app
Photoroom says it uses uploaded images to improve, train and develop its models, and points to an account setting under Data Control to switch this off, with no retroactive effect on processing already done. Images sent through the API are excluded from model improvement.
The content licence is broad and permanent
The terms take a royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable, perpetual and irrevocable worldwide licence over user content, including the right to modify, publish and make derivative works, even though Photoroom claims no ownership.
Retention runs to years, not days
Account data is kept for the duration of use or up to two years from the last login, then archived for five years, and transaction records are held for ten years for accounting.
Security disclosure is absent
The policy names no encryption, access-control or certification detail and sets out no breach notification timeframe, while the terms state Photoroom cannot guarantee its security measures will hold.
What the policy is silent or vague on
- Not stated: your ownership of generated outputs
- Not stated: marking of AI-generated output
- Not stated: its security safeguards
- Not stated: breach notification
