@alexzirbel this is awesome. Thank you. Can’t wait to start using it. Is the Free Pro Plan for lifetime? Or is it just for one year?

@alexzirbel is 4tb fee for life time or for year?

@kumarm for a limited time, that's for lifetime :)

@kumarm great to hear! We really care about it being snappy (and are planning to make it even faster in the future)

@craigcpaterson that's for lifetime!

@cheng2 Thanks Cheng! Your photos are stunning. So happy that you're part of our community.

@cheng2 Love that NYC shoot :)

Thanks 🌟 Shin!!

Thanks Javier! So nice to meet a fellow designer 👩‍🎨

@roderickjmusic hi Roderick, I didn't see this comment until now, but wanted to reply anyway for you and anyone else who's reading later. The data we collect is pretty standard stuff for SaaS tools, and you'll see similar terms for products like Figma, Slack, etc. We see ourselves as a data storage company, and so while we need to handle your data to make our product useful (ex: we index your files and automatically tag them to make them searchable), we will never sell your private data externally or "mine it" for use in advertising. Happy to answer any other questions — email support@playbook.com.

@playbook @alexzirbel One of the (several) stand outs in your privacy policy is this: "Advertising Partners. Through our Services, we may allow third party advertising partners to set Technologies and other tracking tools to collect information regarding your activities and your device (e.g., your IP address, cookie identifiers, page(s) visited, location, time of day). These advertising partners may use this information (and similar information collected from other websites) for purposes of delivering targeted advertisements to you when you visit third party services within their networks. This practice is commonly referred to as “interest-based advertising” or “personalized advertising.” If you prefer not to share your personal information with third party advertising partners, you may follow the instructions below." Unfortunately, as far as I could find (the privacy policy is dense, so I may have missed something) the "instructions below" just say to adjust settings on the users device. These methods rarely work as well as described. There are several references to using information you gather and giving it to third party advertisers. So I'm a little confused about your claim that you aren't using user data for advertising?

@playbook @roderickjmusic thanks for pointing that out. Our privacy policy was broadly written, but we never intended to use user data for targeted advertising. We've removed that language. I appreciate you taking the team to read through this! We're a young company and it'll be an iterative process as we bring our written terms in line with our values. Your feedback here really helps.

@playbook @alexzirbel thanks for responding. It would be great to have a simpler version of your privacy policy - even reading through again I see references to interest based advertising, third party advertising and find it a little confusing. Calling out key points in simple terms (in a dedicated section before the full policy) can make a huge difference. Although obviously may not be a priority for you so early in your products life! Privacy is so important. It’s something that a lot of users really care about - especially when storing their files, and especially on a paid service. Im also curious if there is encryption used as well, I can’t seem to find anything about it on your website.

@zan2434 Haha thanks Zain! We currently use Google Vision API for tagging. It's extremely accurate for photos. We'll soon be working on the self-training since a lot of our enterprise users want this!

@zan2434 so glad to have you on board! To add to Jessica's answer, something we're super excited about is using ML to build a classification structure that's specific to your team. Imagine the exploratory tools you can use on Google Photos or Pinterest, but customized to the styles and attributes that you actually use in your day-to-day work :)

@chrismccoy Thanks Chris! Glad it's working out! :)

@jessica_ko3 are you going to be adding public sharing? currently cant share an image like dropbox has where you can make link public, requires login

@chrismccoy Yes we’re actively working in single asset sharing!

@diegozaks1 yay! So glad. Thank you.

@stephanie_zhao Thanks 🙏 Stephanie!!

@greg_beck1 Thanks Greg! Much appreciated. :)

@bgaurav Haha Thanks! 😃

@hwanghah_jeong1 Thanks so much!

@awilson820 Thanks Ashley! Go Momentum! :)

@ihssan Thanks for your support Ihssan!

@xuezhao Hi Lan! :)

@sheilavashee Yay Thanks for the support Sheila!

@rosie_chopra yay Thanks Rosie!

@bogdan_ionita haha, that's my niche! :D

@alexander_designer so glad you're enjoying it! We'll definitely be working on search+sort+filter tools in the coming months; you can also upvote or add requests at https://feedback.playbook.com/ if you want to follow along. For latest item added, you can already use the timeline view (selector next to the board name). Thanks for the ideas and email us any time if you have more requests!

@alexzirbel Thanks a lot for your response, Alex! You're right, the timeline helps to some extent. However, when files are uploaded in bulk the order of files will be incorrect because they become loaded asynchronously. The platform is simply fantastic, and it works so smoothly! Looking forward to new sorting options to make it even better ;) And thank you for the provided link, it's really useful 👍 Cheers!

@hsnsfrl haha, that's our amazing designer Henry :) sorry, he's too good, we don't want to share
