Client gallery privacy checklist

Before delivery, identify the people and sensitivity of the work, choose access, exclude private galleries from search and public portfolios, test downloads, explain sharing and retain data only according to the real policy.

People and permission

  • The client understands who may receive the link.
  • Children and vulnerable people have been considered.
  • Private locations or sensitive events are recognised.
  • Public portfolio use has separate permission.
  • The photographer knows who to contact if access should change.

Access and discovery

  • Public, private or password-protected access is set deliberately.
  • The password is not included in a public post.
  • Private or protected galleries are excluded from sitemaps.
  • Private or protected galleries are excluded from public portfolio features.
  • No-index instructions are present where appropriate.

Downloads, favourites and activity

  • Download availability matches the agreement.
  • The client knows whether favourites are remembered in the browser.
  • Any visitor activity or analytics are described in the applicable notice.
  • The gallery does not expose owner-only notes or filenames containing private data.

Retention and response

  • The client has accurate information about expected availability.
  • The photographer retains an appropriate separate archive.
  • There is a route to remove access or respond to a concern.
  • The wording has received suitable legal review for the business and market.
