Sovereignty, proven
Your event photos, hosted in the European Union. Proven.
A wedding, a company event, a birthday: in every case the same question comes up, usually from the one guest who asks it out loud. Where do these photos actually live, and who else can see them?
This page answers it with names rather than adjectives. A named host, a named publisher, a named applicable law, and a list of things nobody will do with your album.
Who holds your files, and under what law
“Secure” and “privacy-first” mean nothing on their own. What means something is a name and an address.
A named host, in France
The files are stored with OVH, a French host based in Roubaix, in data centres located in the European Union, with no transfer to third countries. That is verifiable, unlike a claim about “European servers” with no provider attached.
An identified publisher, an individual
Medley is published by Max Bryselbout, a developer based in Lille, France, as an individual and not a company. The full postal address is in the legal notice: there is a person answering for this service, and you can write to them.
The Cloud Act does not apply here
Data entrusted to companies subject to United States law remains reachable by its authorities (Cloud Act, 2018), wherever it is stored. A service published in France and hosted in the European Union falls under French and European law, and that is the whole of it.
A short subprocessing chain
One host for the files, one cookieless audience measurement tool: every link is named, and all of them process data on our behalf, inside the European Union. The complete list is published in the privacy policy.
What nobody will do with your photos
An album is not a resource to be mined. Four commitments, each one against a practice that is common elsewhere.
No biometrics on your guests
No facial recognition, no automatic grouping of faces, no identification of the people in the pictures. A photo of your guests is a photo, not a template.
Your content serves your album, and nothing else
Uploaded media are used to provide the service: displaying them and returning them to the people who have access to the album. They are not resold, not used to train anything, and not exploited anywhere else. It is written in the legal notice.
No profile, therefore no banner
A random technical key is placed on each participant's device. It does one thing: recognise them as the author of their own uploads, so they can delete them themselves. No cross-site tracking, no advertising cookie.
Reversible: everything comes back, everything erases
Nothing holds you here: the entire album comes back as one file, and it can be deleted for good the day you decide. The album is kept at least until December 31, 2026. No album is erased at the end of its retention without its organiser having been warned.
What it asks of the organiser
Share the link with the right circle
The album link is a key. Give it to the people who were there, not to a public page: that single habit is most of what the GDPR asks of you here.
Remove a photo on request
Someone would rather not appear? You can remove any media at any time, and each guest can withdraw their own without asking you.
Decide who reads the guest book
A voice or video message identifies a person just as a photo does. Its visibility is an album setting: organisers only, or everyone who has the link, and the guest knows which before recording.
Frequently asked questions
- Where are my event's photos hosted?
- With OVH, a French host based in Roubaix, in data centres located in the European Union, with no transfer to third countries. The publisher of the service is Max Bryselbout, a developer based in Lille, France.
- Who, apart from my guests, can see the album?
- Nobody but the holders of the link: the album is not public, not indexed by search engines, and not listed anywhere. Behind the scenes, only our technical subprocessors, all inside the European Union, process data on our behalf; the privacy policy lists them.
- What does the GDPR change for my guests' photos?
- Your guests take part without an account, only the first name they type identifies them, each of them withdraws their own uploads from their own device, and no data is resold or used for advertising. The detail of each processing operation and its legal basis is published in the privacy policy.
- Are the guest book's voice and video messages handled like the photos?
- Yes. An audio or video recording is personal data just as a photo is, since a person can be recognised in it: it is hosted with OVH, in the European Union, like the rest of the album, it is neither analysed nor automatically transcribed, and its visibility depends on an album setting, organisers only or everyone who has the link.
- Can I get everything back and delete everything?
- Yes. You download the complete album in original quality, as one archive, whenever you want, and you can delete it. The album is kept at least until December 31, 2026.
