Always. Completely. Without exceptions.
At 17Photos, we believe that memories are sacred — and that protecting them is as important as preserving them. We don’t sell your data. We don’t train AI on your photos. We don’t show you ads. And we never will. Your photos, your stories, and your voice recordings are private by design — stored securely, shared and unshared only with the people you choose. We built 17Photos to bring people together, not to turn memories into marketing.
We don’t claim ownership of your content — ever. You own your media, your voice, and your story. If you stop using 17Photos, your data stays with you — not us. If you delete your content, it’s gone, permanently and securely; your data will be removed from our servers.
Technology should serve memory, not harvest it. That’s why privacy isn’t an afterthought — it’s built into the architecture. Your story deserves a safe home. That’s what 17Photos is built to be.
On 17Photos the term "Phace" refers to the Photo Mosaic made by carefully choosing and placing images from your photo gallery into tiles overlaying your base face. The acronym PHACE, however, is used to describe a rare non-hereditary congenital condition of (primarily) female infants. We intend no disrepect and sincerely apologize to anyone we may have offended. You can find out more and show your support at the PHACE Syndrome Community.
