We give users control over what and when they share

When users connect one of your products or services with Google Photos we always ask their permission. They can disconnect your integration at any time.

We prioritize quality and user trust

Your integration must comply with our Photos API User Data and Developer Policy, and our UX guidelines so that users understand exactly what the benefit will be and how their information will be used.

We take privacy and security seriously

Every company we work with is required to follow rules that limit how you can use the information our users have agreed to share. We take these rules seriously, and can revoke access at any time.

When you’re ready to scale up, the Google Photos partner program helps you make your integrated product/service available to more Google Photos users.
