Privacy and Security Features

How Snapeen protects your wedding photos and keeps your memories private

Introduction

Your wedding photos are precious, personal memories. Snapeen takes privacy and security seriously, ensuring your photos remain private, secure, and under your complete control. This guide explains all the security measures protecting your wedding gallery.

💡 Pro Tip

We never use, view, or interact with your photos in any way. Your memories are yours alone, protected with enterprise-grade security.

How Privacy Works

✓ Can Access

  • Anyone you share the link/QR code with
  • Guests who scan your QR code
  • People you personally invite
  • You (the event creator)

✗ Cannot Access

  • Random internet users
  • Search engines (Google, Bing, etc.)
  • Other Snapeen users
  • Anyone without your specific link

Your Gallery is Completely Private

Only people with your unique link or QR code can access your wedding gallery:

  • Every event gets a unique, randomly generated URL
  • Your gallery never appears in search engines
  • No public directory of events exists
  • Guests can't find your gallery without your link
