1. You own your photos
You keep all ownership of, and copyright in, the photos ("Shots") and other content you post. We do not claim ownership.
2. The licence you give us
When you post, you give LensScape a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable (only to our service providers that host and deliver the Service) licence to host, store, copy, resize, re-encode (including removing metadata), cache and display your content. This licence covers only the purposes of operating, showing and improving the Service to the people your visibility settings allow: in the app, on lensscapeapp.com (for example, spot and profile pages), and in previews when someone shares a link. We will credit your Shots to your @handle. For photos and location information uploaded under Terms version 2026-10-24.1 or later, the Content License in section 6.6 of the Terms of Service also applies: it covers display within LensScape, including spot pages, link previews (og:image) and share cards. •
The licence ends when you delete the content or your account. Removal from the app and site usually takes about a minute. Cached copies and backups clear within 30 days. Copies others legitimately shared or saved, and our records needed for legal reasons, may remain.
•
We do not sell your photos, license them to third parties, or use them to train AI models.
3. Featuring only with your per-post opt-in
This applies to every photo you upload, including photos sent with a new spot. LensScape may use a Shot outside normal display, for example in Spot of the Week, monthly theme galleries, our own social media accounts (Instagram, X, Pinterest, Reddit, Facebook), newsletters or other LensScape marketing, only if you switched on "Feature my photo on LensScape socials" (shown as "Let LensScape feature this shot" in older versions of the app) for that specific photo. The switch is off by default.
•
Featured Shots are always credited to you (your @handle and, where the platform allows, a link).
•
We may crop or resize a featured Shot to fit the format, but we won't otherwise alter it in a way that misrepresents it.
•
Featuring is never used for under-18 accounts, friends-only Shots or hidden content.
•
Turning it off: you can switch featuring off or delete the Shot at any time. We stop any new featuring right away. Posts we already published on third-party platforms while featuring was on may stay up, but we will take them down if you ask (email support@lensscapeapp.com).
•
No payment is due for featuring.
4. Moral rights
We will respect your moral rights to attribution and integrity. To the extent the law allows, you agree we may make technical changes (resizing, compression, cropping to a format, removing metadata) without breaching them.
5. Others' rights
Do not post content you don't own or have permission to share. Google place photos: Some place photos come from Google Maps Platform. They belong to their owners, are shown with their authors' credit, may be served from LensScape's servers, and are never used on LensScape's public web pages or in share images. They may not be copied, downloaded or reposted.

It must not include settlement offers, demands for payment or requests for personal information. Under Canada's hosting rules, we will forward compliant notices to the user. We may also remove the content under our Terms.
6c. Repeat infringers
We will terminate the accounts of repeat infringers when appropriate.
6d. False claims
