Why We Delete Your Data (And Why That’s a Good Thing)

Enterprise-Grade Security for World-Class Event Activations

At Snapmatix, we are in the business of delight and surprise. Whether it’s turning a Formula 1 fan into a racing driver or transforming a conference attendee into a cyberpunk avatar, our AI Photo Booths create "stop-and-stare" moments at brand activations across London and beyond.

However, there is one thing we take even more seriously than our creativity: Your Privacy.

We work with some of the most prestigious brands on the planet - from Lenovo to global tech giants and leading UK agencies like Nteractive. High-profile clients trust us not just because our technology is innovative, but because our security is ironclad.

Here is how we handle customer data to ensure it remains secure, anonymous, and entirely yours.

The "Secret Sauce": Anonymous Workflows

We believe the best way to protect personal data is to avoid collecting it in the first place. Our standard workflows are designed to exclude Personally Identifiable Information (PII).

When a guest steps up to a Snapmatic booth at a London trade show or uses our mobile-first solutions, we aren't building a dossier. We are processing an anonymous user image. The system captures the photo, the AI performs its magic, and the result is delivered. We mitigate risk by removing the identifiers before the process even begins.

Our Core Data Principles

Our approach isn’t just about "good intentions"—it is backed by a rigorous Data Protection Policy fully aligned with the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018. We operate strictly on these three principles:

• Data Minimisation: We never collect more data than necessary. We actively avoid solutions that require visitors’ names, addresses, or emails unless absolutely essential for delivery. If the goal is a high-impact photo, we don't need a life story.
• Storage Limitation: We treat data as a temporary asset. We delete collected data as soon as it is no longer needed for its original purpose: producing the image. Once the magic is delivered, the raw data is erased. Every project we deploy includes a custom image retention policy tailored to your specific compliance requirements.
• Purpose Limitation: Your face belongs to you. Data is never used for anything other than the original activation. You will never see a guest’s face in an annual report or on a digital OOH advert unless they have provided explicit, opt-in consent.

The AI Promise: No Training on Your Data

This is the question our UK enterprise clients ask most frequently: No user data is used to train AI models.

Our AI is a tool used to generate art, not a sponge soaking up likenesses for future algorithms. Your images are processed to create the output and then they exit the pipeline. We respect the integrity of your digital identity.

Certified Secure

We don't just claim to be secure; we prove it through industry-standard frameworks.

• ISO 27001 Alignment: We have implemented an Information Security Management System (ISMS) aligned with the international ISO 27001 standard, ensuring best-practice processing for every activation.
• Data Subject Rights: We fully support the rights of individuals to access, rectify, and erase their data (the "right to be forgotten").
• Breach Protocol: In the unlikely event of an issue, we maintain strict incident management processes to inform stakeholders without undue delay, in line with ICO guidelines.

Exceeding Global Standards: From London to Las Vegas

While our core framework is built on the rigorous UK/EU GDPR - widely considered the global "gold standard" for privacy - we ensure our solutions remain compliant for international roadshows.

• CCPA Ready: For our clients activating in the US, we meet all California Consumer Privacy Act requirements, including a strict "No Data Sale" policy.
• COPPA & Safety: For family-friendly events or activations where minors may be present, our "Anonymous by Design" workflow minimises the risk of creating PII profiles for children under 13.
• No Behavioural Tracking: We do not track users across the web or build behavioural profiles. We provide a safe, contained, and premium environment for all guests.

Conclusion

We built Snapmatic to be the premier AI photo experience in the world. A vital part of that "premier" status is ensuring that our clients - and their guests - can enjoy the experience with total peace of mind.

Whether you are planning a high-profile activation in Central London, a tech summit in ExCeL, or a global tour, Snapmatic delivers fun, speed, and safety in equal measure.
