Photos and the camera roll

Reading

Inspection photos often show a home, a person, or paperwork. They need the same care as any other record.

Use the Portal camera

Take inspection and site photos through the GCHS Portal so they go straight to GCHS storage and never sit on your phone.

If you used the regular camera

If you take a photo with your regular camera app, upload it to the Portal and delete it from your phone the same day. Also delete it from the Recently Deleted folder, or it is still on the phone.

Turn off photo backup

Automatic photo backup to a personal cloud, such as iCloud Photos or Google Photos, must be turned off on any phone you use for GCHS photos. Otherwise a copy of the applicant photo goes to your personal account.
