Securing your shared photos

PicMe Photo Sharing is different from many other photo sharing services in that we take extra measures to keep your photos private and secure.

Any photos that are on the PicMe Photo Sharing service are private by default. We don’t have a website where you can browse everyone’s photos. We don’t have pages that can be indexed by Google. Your photos are only shared with the people you want. Unauthorized users won’t have access to your images.

When you share a photo with PicMe Photo Sharing this is done in a secure way. Your images are copied to our secure server using a combination of secure keys, password authentication and permissions. We make the upload fast because it goes straight from the PicMe application into our secure file storage archive and database.

When you share a photo with someone only the person you share with will have access to that image. Only users that have been shared a file will be able to see it. If you share through the PicMe service your images will not show up on a public web-page.

Note: If you share to a services such as Flickr, Picasa or Facebook your images will usually be publicly available.

When an image is shared through PicMe we do this in a secure way. We also send an email to the recipient with a secure certificate for the photos. This allows the recipient to view the sent photos from our online website. These images are available only as screen quality images for the recipient of the image message. We further protect these images from right-click saving on the web.

For subscribers to our service we allow the recipient access to the high-quality original image files. Other users won’t be able to see your images. This makes PicMe a secure way to transfer or share large images files in a secure way between people.
