As much as I appreciate the effort to create a technological solution that avoids big tech like Google, I find the best way is still prints. I'm usually 'the photographer' in the family and after an event I just order prints to the house of the relevant family members (or bring them over myself). Nothing can really compare to holding the physical product in your hand.
Additionally, due to the small cost of prints, there's a real incentive to only show a few of the best so that it doesn't devolve into endless scrolling.
Have you checked the privacy policy of your photo lab/printer? It's possible that they're collecting digital copies of your pictures, selling them (or just information about them) to third parties, as well as selling them/turning them over to the police and other government agencies.
Yes, I do. I read the privacy policy of all the websites I sign up for. In fact, that is the exact reason why I never got a Facebook account. When I read their privacy policy when it first came out when I was an undergraduate student, I was horrified and never signed up.
Of course, that doesn't guarantee everything in this deceptive world, but it's the best I can do certainly.
Which ones do those things?
It should be your default assumption that any and all data you hand over to a company will be collected, used by that company in any manner that they feel will be beneficial to them, sold/leaked to others, and ultimately used against you.
At a glace, it appears that the privacy policies of walmart, CVS, and walgreens allow for it. I imagine that's where most people these days take their photos for development and/or printing

Making prints easily available could be a good business idea for a photo storage app
Who do you use for printing?
