Paid access is not a guarantee of secrecy. Choose pictures with the assumption that someone who can view an original may be able to copy it.
Start with the details inside the frame.
Look beyond the main subject. Screens, documents, reflections, location clues and people in the background may reveal information you did not intend to include. Review the actual full-resolution original rather than only the blurred preview.
If a detail crosses a personal boundary, choose a different image or edit it before deciding to sell it. Avoid assuming that a watermark, a small crop in a preview or a hidden link removes that detail from the delivered original.
Review metadata and the version you share.
Image files can contain information beyond the visible picture. Review the export you plan to upload and remove private information you do not want to share using a trusted tool you understand. Keep the original and the prepared version clearly labeled in your own records.
This is a preparation checklist, not a claim that FanPay Link removes metadata, encrypts a file in a particular way or blocks screenshots. Confirm a specific technical safeguard before relying on it.
Use a watermark for a defined purpose.
A watermark may identify a creator or discourage casual reuse, but it can also distract from a preview and may be cropped or removed. Decide whether it belongs on the original, a promotional image or neither. Keep the buyer’s expected image consistent with the offer.
Do not describe any watermark as leak-proof protection. A clearer offer and an acceptable personal risk boundary are more useful than an absolute promise a viewing tool cannot establish.
Use a final privacy check.
- Inspect the original at full size.
- Review visible identifiers and other people.
- Review private metadata in the prepared export.
- Decide whether the image remains acceptable if copied.
- Check that the description does not promise unverified safeguards.
Review the original before selling.
A personal privacy and offer-accuracy checklist without promises of leak prevention.
