Frequently asked Questions
What is this site?
This is an image hosting platform to temporary and securely share your images. Most people would find it hard to download your images. And even if they do, they would have their IP address on them. You can still disable all the security features and use it as a simple image hosting, if you wish.
How to use this website?
Assuming that you want to securely share an image (or several) with somebody:
What are these numbers printed on all images?
These is the IP address of the person, who viewed the image. Every time the image is sent to a person’s browser, they get watermarked with this person’s IP address. This is done so that even if the image is downloaded it’s less likely to be be shared further. And if it would the person who did that would be easy to find.
Is it possible to disable the IP watermarking?
Sure, each album has a setting section that you can access if you uploaded these images. You can find it if you click on the orange ribbon in the top of album page.
What’s the QR code on all the images for?
This QR code contains information about the image. It contains a unique image id, image upload timestamp and an encrypted IP of the image uploader.
Can other people/hackers read my IP from the QR?
No. Uploader’s IPs are encrypted with AES encryption. Only Unsee can decrypt the encoded values back.
Why do you need the QR code? Can I switch it off?
This is a measure against site abusers, who upload illegal photos and/or harass other people. If such an act is reported to a law enforcement they might reach out and demand to disclose the IP of the uploader.
Unfortunately you can not switch this functionality off. Normal usage of the site should by no means be affected by this. Your personal data is still owned by you only.
My images are being posted without my consent, what should I do?
You can send us a short notice about this and we will quickly delete the album. But this would be a temporary measure. You can also report this to the police to try and stop this from happening in the future.
What you do need to know, though, is that in most of the cases the person who uploaded the images knows you well. It could be your friend, ex or even a family member.
The albums on Unsee are very short lived. Meaning that there’s no way to stumble upon an album by chance.
Usually it goes down like this:
I found disturbing/illegal photos, what should I do?
Just click on the «Report» link in the top-right corner of the page. And send us a short notice about this.
I want to report an illegal action/content to the police
Please make a screenshot of the photos in question with the QR code clearly visible and scannable. The QR code contains an encrypted uploader’s IP address. With this you can reach out to your local law enforcement agency. In turn the agency will reach out to Unsee and ask the IP addresses to be decrypted.
Can I get reported to the authorities?
In case you uploaded an illegal content or performed illegal actions on the site and this was brought to our attention you may be reported to relevant agencies by Unsee and you IP address might be disclosed to them on request.
Privacy policy
Privacy was the one of the main reasons behind the creation of this site. Read on to see how your privacy is protected.
So how private is this site exactly
By default images are covered with multiple layers of protection. The SSL encryption prevents unauthorised interception of the data that your browser exchanges with Unsee web server. Images are not stored on the server indefinitely. They are not actually stored as files at all. Instead they are kept in memory for exactly the period that is specified in sharing settings. After the said period, they are automatically wiped from RAM. No temporary backups or other ways exist to recover the images. Unsee guarantees that your uploads are available online at most for the time that you specified or less.
It’s not impossible, but pretty hard for a 3rd party to download the images shared on Unsee. For instance it’s not possible to just right-click and save image. It’s not allowed to open developer tools in browser and to modify the DOM tree to get to images. Due to the way the images are loaded, they are not registered as a resource by the browser at all. But even if all of the above is bypassed, every image is watermarked with the viewer’s IP address as the last resort. Coupled with stripping of internal image data and a blocking system to prevent malicious users from opening the same album again, this site should prove to be one of the safest after not sharing images at all.
Data protection
Web-server access logs do not contain your full IP address. Chat logs are never saved.
The IP addresses may be stored for half a year to comply with any possible legitimate law enforcement requests.
Of course the photos you upload are stored on the server only for as long as you specified in sharing settings.
Cookies and tracking
However Unsee does use the following ad/tracking partners to display targeted ads on its pages and to monitor its performance.
Please review the respective linked Privacy Policies to see how your data is handled.
