EXTRAS

PRIVACY INFORMATION

Picasa Web Albums makes i t easy to share your photos with the world -- or you can choose to keep your photos as private as you'd l ike. Use album visibi l i ty options to control the privacy of your albums. You can set your album visibi l i ty options during the upload process and change them at any t ime in Picasa and Picasa Web Albums.

Public on the web: Set your album visibi l i ty to 'Publ ic on the web' to make them viewable to anyone who knows the URL of your Publ ic Gal lery. Publ ic albums can also be found in web search results and on the PicasaWeb  tab of your Google Profi le ( i f you use one).

Anyone with the link: Set your album to 'Anyone with the l ink' to l imit who can see it . Albums shared with anyone with the l ink include a unique authorization key in the web address; the key is a combination of letters and numbers that make the address diffi cult to guess.

  Private: Select the 'Private' option to set the highest level of privacy for your album -- you specify exactly who has permission to view private albums, and those viewers must sign in to their Google Accounts to veri fy their identit ies. Users without a Google Account wi l l be prompted to create one. Anyone not included on the album's "Shared with" access l ist wi l l be unable to view the album.
