What is publicly visible and what stays private?
LACOP is transparent: you control what's publicly visible. Here's the clear separation.
✅ Publicly visible
This appears on your portfolio and is accessible to anyone:
Profile data
- Display name (first and last)
- Bio and about text
- Profile image / avatar
- Slug / portfolio URL
- Social links (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat)
- Agencies (name, city, URL)
- Custom links (paid plans only)
- Contact email (when set and not hidden)
- Role (model / photographer / creative / agency)
Photos & galleries
- All visible photos (not hidden)
- All visible galleries
- Titles, descriptions, photographer credit, shooting date
🔒 Private — only you see it
This stays in your account and is never public:
Account data
- Login email (the email you sign in with)
- Password (we can't see it either — stored hashed)
- 2FA codes and backup codes
- Stripe customer ID and billing
- Invoices and payment history
Hidden content
- Hidden photos (via visibility toggle)
- Hidden galleries
- These are visible to you in the dashboard but not on your public portfolio
Internal data
- Upload date of photos (stored internally)
- File size and technical metadata
- IP address at login (for security)
- User agent (browser, device)
Onboarding data
- Terms acceptance with date and IP
- Legal consent record (GDPR requirement)
⚙️ You can control
These things you can make public or hide:
- Individual photos → visibility toggle
- Whole galleries → hide gallery
- Contact email → leave empty if you don't want it public
- Custom links → only add what you want to show
Who sees the public portfolio?
Anyone on the internet who has your link. LACOP doesn't (yet) have a password protection feature for whole portfolios. If you want to be absolutely private, you need a different setup.
Planned features:
- Password-protected galleries (Pro+, in development)
- Private portfolio (not planned)
GDPR / data export
You can export all your data in settings:
- Settings → Data & legal
- Download export → JSON file
It contains all private and public data in machine-readable form (GDPR Art. 20).
Delete account
To delete all data: Settings → Delete account. Photos, profile and galleries are deleted. Legal consent data is kept for legal reasons.
