A mobile phone shop worker took images off customers' devices while they were in for repair say police, prompting a warning over data protection.
Lee Hawkes, 36, of Neath, was working at a store in Brecon, Powys, when a colleague reported him.
Police seized phones, USB devices and computers before Hawkes was charged.
He received a suspended prison sentenced after admitting unauthorised access of data and an offence of voyeurism at Merthyr Crown Court.
Hawkes admitted charges under the Computer Misuse Act and the Sexual Offences Act at a hearing on 17 March and was sentenced on Monday, said police.
He received a three-month sentence for unauthorised access of data and four months for voyeurism, suspended for 12 months. He will also be placed on the sex offenders' register, said the force.
Police said Hawkes accessed data and private images from customers' mobiles without their consent.
PC Gareth Tanswell, who investigated the case, said: "This was an unusual investigation and the victims in this case were our priority from the outset.
"People's mobiles carry a vast amount of personal data and images these days, and they expect to be able to trust those that they give access to them for repair, maintenance or advice purposes.
"It must be emphasised that these were the actions of one individual and this is a very unusual case - but if anyone has any concerns or suspects that someone has accessed and used their data, images etc without their consent they should contact police who will investigate thoroughly."
