Security & photo privacy

Your memories.
Your people. Your privacy.

Your wedding photos are personal. We built Snap the Knot to help you collect and enjoy them in a private gallery you control, with care for the people in every frame.

We never sell your photos
No AI training on your media
No marketing without permission
You control gallery sharing

These are your memories to keep and share on your terms. We never sell your photos or videos, and we never use them to train AI models. We do not use your uploads in ads, social posts, or other public marketing without your explicit permission.

How we store your photos

Uploaded originals are kept in cloud file storage, with separate gallery previews to make browsing faster. Our upload system supports Amazon S3 and uses unique file names to keep each wedding's uploads organized.

We use HTTPS in production to protect data in transit, time-limited links for direct uploads, hashed account passwords, and access controls for gallery management. Hosting and storage providers help us deliver the service, as explained in our privacy policy.

Your photos have one purpose: your gallery.

We process photos and videos to provide the features you use: collecting uploads, creating previews, displaying your gallery, and preparing downloads. Sharing, exports, and optional photo features follow the choices made by you and your gallery's authorized users.

We never sell or license your uploads to advertisers, stock photo libraries, or data brokers. We do not use them to train AI or machine learning models. Your gallery is here for your memories.

Private sharing, with you in control.

Snap the Knot is built for private wedding sharing. We do not publish your gallery in a public photo feed. Guest upload pages, shared galleries, and live photo wall pages instruct search engines not to list them.

Read-only gallery links use unguessable tokens. You can turn sharing off to revoke the previous shared link. People with a shared link can view the gallery, so send it only to people you trust. Anyone who receives a photo or downloads a copy may keep or pass it on.

Individual photo and video URLs can be opened by anyone who has the URL. Turning off a gallery link does not revoke a file URL someone already has, so treat media links as private too.

You can invite your spouse or other trusted people to help manage the gallery. Those invitations grant management access, so choose your collaborators with care. Our administrators can access photos and safety results to operate and support the service.

Optional features, explained openly.

If you enable AI photo safety checks, newly uploaded photos are sent to OpenAI to screen for potentially inappropriate content, usually as smaller previews. This is for safety screening; we do not use these images for AI training. You can switch checks off in your wedding settings, which stops checks that have not started.

Any separately offered face-matching feature has its own permission. Service providers process images when needed to deliver enabled features; we may also disclose information where required by law. Read the photo safety details in our privacy policy for how checks work and how flagged photos are handled.

Your choices, from upload to download.

You can remove uploads from your gallery, manage shared access, and download your memories. Photos moved to Trash may remain available for recovery; removing a photo from the gallery does not necessarily erase its stored file immediately.

Paid galleries include hosting through one year after the wedding date. Download the photos you want to keep. You can request account and content deletion by contacting us, subject to any legal or security retention requirements described in our privacy policy.
