Sharing Family Photos in a Greeting: Privacy Tips That Help
A greeting with your family's photos in it is personal, and it is worth thinking for a minute about who can see it. This guide explains how sharing works in ShareGreet, so you can decide what to include and where to send it.
Who can open a link
Every card, flipbook and story has its own link. Anyone who has the link can open it, with no account needed. The links are not listed on search engines, but a link is only as private as the places you paste it. If you put it in a large public group, assume that group can see it.
Simple habits
- Share links the way you would share the photos themselves. A family chat for family photos.
- Think about children. Leave out school names, addresses and uniforms if you are sending to a wider group.
- Check the background. House numbers, car plates and documents can be visible in photos.
- Use scheduled opening if you want the content hidden until a set moment.
Your photos and what happens to them
- For cards and flipbooks, your photos are used only to draw the card or pages. The original uploads are deleted once the card or flipbook is made. There is no AI involved.
- For AI stories, your prompt, and any photos you add, are sent to Google's AI to create the story. The app asks for your agreement before it does this the first time.
- You can delete any card, flipbook or story, and its link stops working. You can also delete your account from Settings.

Posting to Discover
Discover is public. If you post a flipbook or story there, everyone using ShareGreet can find and open it, and it can appear on the public Discover page on our website. Post only what you are comfortable having anyone see, and avoid photos of children or private places. You can post only content you made yourself.
Reporting a greeting
Every shared greeting page has a Report this greeting link at the bottom. If several people report something it is hidden while we review it. If you receive a greeting that should not have been sent to you, use that link.
Before you send
- Open the link yourself, as a stranger would, and see what it shows.
- Ask: would I be happy if this were shared further?
- Send it to the people it is for.

Frequently asked questions
Can someone find my greeting by searching?
Shared links are marked so search engines do not index them. But anyone who is given the link can open it, so share it with care.
What if I shared something by mistake?
Delete it from your profile and the link stops working. If you have posted it to Discover, delete it there as well.
Can I report a greeting someone sent me?
Yes. Use the Report this greeting link at the bottom of the page.
