Photo safety

Hair photos can be powerful, but safety comes first.

Private photo submission is temporarily unavailable while Riley's Way completes and verifies the required privacy and safety protections. Open public posting stays closed; Community Photos is closed.

Separate parent consent

Private photo review requires a separate parent permission from core child-profile consent before upload can open.

Metadata stripping

Images must be re-encoded and stripped of available location and device metadata before review.

Technical screening

Uploads must pass server-side screening for actual file contents, type, size, dimensions, and processing results.

Human moderation

A trusted reviewer must approve or reject photos before any optional Community Photos use.

Parent deletion controls

Parents must be able to delete submitted child photos from the dashboard and revoke photo permission.

No public identifiers

Photo captions and profiles do not use full names, locations, school names, handles, or contact details.

Current status

Private photo submission is temporarily unavailable.

Riley's Way will not open private photo upload until the server upload checks, consent records, private storage, signed access, moderation, deletion, retention, and provider restrictions are fully verified in production. Public photo sharing is closed, and Community Photos is closed.

Concern

See something unsafe or identifying?

Parents can report photo/privacy concerns so Riley's Way can review them and follow up.
