Gallery Privacy Options
Gallery privacy controls who can view the online gallery from your event and how images can be accessed or shared.
No matter which option you choose, participants will always receive a direct link to their own photo unless you intentionally disable all sharing options.
Online Gallery Privacy Options
Adjust your gallery's privacy level from the basic section of the Gallery Designer.
The least restrictive privacy setting.
Event guests can view the main gallery page and browse other participants’ photos.
If photo links are shared on social media, anyone on the internet can access the gallery.
A public gallery opt-in is shown so participants can choose not to have their photo displayed publicly.
A balance between visibility and privacy.
Event guests cannot view the main gallery page or other participants’ photos.
Direct photo links shared on social media do not allow public access to the full gallery.
Anyone with the main gallery link can view and scroll the entire gallery.
This allows you to share the gallery with a client, team, or internal stakeholders.
If the main gallery link is shared publicly, the gallery can be accessed by anyone with that link.
A public gallery opt-in is still shown to participants, in case the gallery link is shared more widely than intended.
The most restrictive privacy setting.
Event guests cannot view the main gallery page or other participants’ photos.
Direct photo links shared on social media do not allow public access to the gallery.
Only the account holder can view the main gallery page, and must be signed in to their Simple Booth account.
A public gallery opt-in is not shown, and all photos are automatically marked as private.
Individual Photo Privacy
Individual photo privacy applies to any photo marked as private, whether that happens because a participant opts out of public sharing or because the gallery itself is set to private.
Photos marked as private are permanently designated as such.
Changing a gallery’s privacy from Private to Public or Unlisted does not change the privacy status of photos already marked as private.
Private photos will not appear in the main gallery or be accessible through public or shared gallery links.
If you need to share private photos with your team, client, or anyone else, you can always download the files and share them outside of Simple Booth.
