LAND PHOTOS · PRIVACY
Photograph the land, not people.
How LandCheck stores the GPS-stamped photos you take, who can see them, how to delete them—and how to take land photos respectfully.
Taking photos respectfully
✅ Do photographPillars and boundary marks, the access road, the ground and any water signs, painted markings, buildings from the outside, the view from the plot.
🚫 Don't, without permissionPeople's faces, children, the inside of anyone's home or compound, number plates, or documents that belong to someone else.
If a neighbour talks to you about the land, note what they say in the checklist instead of photographing them.
What LandCheck stores
- The photos you take, with the location, time and distance from the plot stamped on them.
- Your phone's GPS position and accuracy when you checked in and when each photo was taken.
- Your checklist answers and notes.
- Which account (or LandCheck field agent) took them, and when LandCheck received them.
- A fingerprint (SHA-256) of each photo, so it can later be shown to be unchanged.
Until you sign in, photos you take are kept only on your phone. They upload to your account when you sign in.
Who can see them
| Photos | Who can see them |
|---|---|
| Your own photos | Only you, signed in. Plus anyone you send a share link to, and anyone who has a copy of one photo and enters the code printed on it (they see that one photo and its details). |
| Independent LandCheck site visits | Anyone who checks that plot on LandCheck, because the point of an independent visit is that buyers can rely on it. |
Deleting your photos
Open the land report for the plot and tap 🗑 Delete these photos on your set of photos. They are removed from LandCheck, and any share links and photo codes for them stop working. Copies you or others already downloaded or forwarded can't be recalled.
