Is my child's photo safe when I make a custom trading card?

The Snapshot TeamCustom trading card specialistsLast reviewed:

Quick answer

Yes, and the privacy policy says how. A child's photo and details are used only to make, print, and ship the card you ordered. They are never sold, never used for targeted advertising, never used to train AI, and never used in marketing without explicit permission. A parent can ask to review, correct, or delete them anytime.

Key takeaways

  1. Photos are used only to make, print, ship, and support your order.
  2. Never sold, never used for targeted ads, never used to train AI, no facial recognition.
  3. No use in marketing without separate, explicit permission.
  4. Parents can request review, correction, or deletion at any time, even for coach-made cards.

Who may upload a child's photo

Snapshot accounts are for adults; children under 13 may not create an account. Cards about children are the normal use of the service, so the rule is about who uploads: a parent, legal guardian, or someone they have authorized, such as a coach or team organizer. By uploading, you confirm you have that permission.

What the photo is used for

The stated purpose is narrow: making, printing, and shipping the card you ordered, and supporting that order. The privacy policy commits that uploaded photos are not sold or shared, are not used to train artificial intelligence models, and are not used for facial recognition or biometric identification.

Children's images are not used in marketing without separate, explicit permission, and children's personal information is not sold or used for targeted advertising.

Your controls

A parent or guardian can contact Snapshot at any time to review, correct, or delete a child's photo and details, and that request is honored even when the card was created by a coach or organization. Account holders can also delete their uploaded images and content and delete the account itself.

Team cards

On a team page, each family uploads its own player's photo through the team link, so a coach does not need to hold everyone's photos. Where a coach or organizer does upload on a family's behalf, the same rules and the same parental rights apply.

Questions

More questions

Will my child's photo be used in advertising?

No, not without separate explicit permission. The default is that a child's photo is used only for the card you ordered.

Is the photo used to train AI?

No. The privacy policy states that uploaded photos are not used to train AI models and that the AI provider is not permitted to do so either.

Can I have the photo deleted?

Yes. A parent or guardian can request review, correction, or deletion of a child's photo and details at any time, including for cards created by a coach or organization.

Can my child have their own account?

No. Accounts are for adults, and children under 13 may not create one. A parent runs the account and the child can help design.

Is the card itself public?

A card you make in your account is yours. Team pages and the Pro Shop are the public surfaces, and each is opt-in by the person who sets it up.
