Photo safety

Hair photos can be powerful, but safety comes first.

Photo submission is optional and depends on family access and separate parent choices. A human reviewer must approve a photo before it can appear in the members-only Community Photos gallery. Open public posting is not offered.

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.

Parent control

Your choice does not publish a photo.

Private photo review and Community Photos have separate parent choices. Upload, access, storage and deletion checks still apply. Turning on permission does not publish a photo. A human reviewer must approve it before community sharing.

  • Parent-approved private review only after verification is complete
  • Family-only hair-care reflection before any community feature
  • Human moderation before any approved photo could become visible
  • No identifying details, public contact information, or location sharing
Concern

See something unsafe or identifying?

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