Your photos are the raw material for everything LotJitsu writes and exports. This article explains what happens to a photo after you add it and who can see it. The full legal text is the Privacy Policy at lotjitsu.com/privacy.
What your photos are used for
- Writing your listing. LotJitsu reads a lot's photos, cover photo first, and writes the Fields marked Auto, such as Title and Description. All the photos of one lot are treated as one item seen from several angles. Photos are never combined across lots.
- Reading the Lot Number. When you choose Detect number in photo, LotJitsu looks for a number on a card or sticker in the lot's photos.
- Your Export package. Every photo of every exported lot goes into the .zip, renamed for your platform.
- Showing the lot. Your Cover Photo is the thumbnail on the lot's row.
What happens when a photo is uploaded
- It is turned the right way up.
- All of its hidden details are removed, including the location where it was taken, the date and time, and the camera details.
- It is stored in a 4:3 shape, cropped from the center. The edges of a very tall or wide photo are trimmed.
Who can see your photos
- You.
- People you share a folder or catalog with. Everyone with access can see, add and remove its photos. See Owners and collaborators: who can do what.
- Anyone you give an Export package to.
Your photos are never shown on a public page. LotJitsu has no public profiles, listings or galleries.
The service providers that help LotJitsu read your photos and write your listings, and when LotJitsu staff may view your account to help with a support request, are described in the Privacy Policy.
What to keep out of frame
Anything visible in a photo can end up in the description, and every photo goes to the people you share with and into your package. Before you shoot:
- Keep personal information out of frame: paperwork, addresses, card details, ID documents, screens, number plates and faces.
- Keep unrelated objects out of frame. They may be described as part of the lot.
See Take better photos for better listings.
Good to know
- What LotJitsu writes comes from what the photos show. A photo can't prove that an item works, is genuine or is complete. Check those details before you export. See Review the text LotJitsu writes.
- A deleted lot can be restored for 30 days from the Activity Log. See Restore something you deleted, on your computer.
- In the app, photos taken without a connection wait on your phone until they upload.
