Privacy Policy

Effective November 14, 2026

PACPIX is a self-service photo booth rental business operated by a sole proprietor in Texas, United States. This Privacy Policy explains how PACPIX handles information when guests use the photo booth, receive or open private photo links, and interact with the PACPIX website or staff studio.

1. Information we collect

• Guest photos and event details: Images created during a photo session, associated event information, timestamps, and randomly generated private photo-link identifiers.
• Photo delivery information: If optional SMS delivery becomes available and you request it, your mobile phone number, the consent you provided, and information needed to deliver and troubleshoot your requested text.
• Event administration: Business and staff account details, event configurations, uploaded design assets, and event-management records.
• Technical information: Information needed to run and secure the service, which may include IP addresses, browser or device information, operational logs, and authentication cookies for staff accounts. Our infrastructure providers may process these details in providing the service.

SMS delivery is not yet active in the photo booth. The optional phone-number field currently shown on the booth does not transmit a number or send a text.

2. How we use information

We use this information to operate photo booths, create and deliver guest photos, maintain private photo links, administer events, secure our systems, troubleshoot failed uploads, and respond to privacy or service requests. If you separately choose to receive future PACPIX offers through a later signup, that choice will be collected separately from photo-delivery consent.

3. Optional text messages

When SMS photo delivery is enabled, PACPIX intends to send a one-time, guest-requested text containing a private link to an event photo, only after the guest enters a phone number and affirmatively opts in. Consent is optional, and guests may use a QR code instead. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for assistance once the service is active. Photo-delivery consent is not consent to receive advertisements or recurring marketing texts.

We do not sell, rent, or share SMS opt-in information or mobile phone numbers with third parties for their marketing or promotional purposes. Information needed to deliver texts may be processed by our messaging provider and telecommunications carriers strictly for message delivery and service operations. Text messaging opt-in data and consent are not shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing purposes.

4. Guest photos and retention

Photos are initially saved on the event iPad and queued for upload. Completed photos are transferred to private cloud storage. Private guest photo links expire seven days after a successful upload. After expiration, the public link no longer provides access to the image. Cloud storage cleanup is managed separately and may occur after the link expires. Copies may also remain on guests' own devices after they save or share them. Pending or interrupted uploads may remain temporarily on the event iPad so they can be recovered; PACPIX staff should clear local data appropriately after confirming uploads.

Anyone who has a private photo link may be able to view or download that image while the link is active. Please share your link only with people you trust.

5. Service providers and disclosures

PACPIX uses technical service providers, including cloud hosting, database and photo storage infrastructure, to operate the website and booth. When activated, SMS delivery will also involve a messaging service provider and mobile carriers. We disclose information to these providers only as needed to provide or protect the service. We may disclose information when legally required or to address security, fraud, or safety concerns.

6. Cookies and device storage

PACPIX uses staff-authentication cookies and local browser or device storage to keep authorized booth configurations and pending guest photos available, including during temporary internet outages. Some locally stored data may remain until an operator clears it or the device/browser removes it. The guest photo page does not require guests to create an account.

7. Your choices and privacy requests

You may choose QR photo access instead of providing a phone number. You may save your photo to your own device before the private link expires. To ask about access, correction, or deletion of information associated with an event, contact PACPIX using the business contact details provided by your event organizer or booking contact. To locate a photo securely, we may need the event and private link, but please do not post a private link publicly. Some records may need to be kept for security, legal, or accounting reasons.

8. Children and event photography

Photo booth events may include families and children. Event hosts and supervising adults are responsible for determining who participates in an event's photo sessions. PACPIX does not design its guest photo-link service to solicit personal information directly from children for marketing.

9. Security and limitations

We use private storage, access controls, and unpredictable photo-link identifiers to help protect guest photos. No online service is completely secure, and a private link may be accessed by anyone with whom it is shared. Do not use the booth to capture sensitive documents or information.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as PACPIX adds features, such as optional SMS delivery or event inquiries. We will post the revised policy on this page with an updated effective date.

11. Contact

PACPIX operates in Central Texas, United States. For privacy questions or requests, please contact PACPIX through the business contact information supplied with your event booking or ask your event organizer to connect you directly with PACPIX.
