Boudoir Consent & Privacy Policy for Galleries (Simple, Client-Friendly)

A boudoir gallery policy should state who can access the images, what can be downloaded, how sharing works, and when access changes.

Match every statement to a gallery control or a documented studio action.

You do not need a complicated document. You need clear choices that match the real settings in your gallery delivery workflow.

Present these choices before the session and repeat the selected settings at delivery.

• Who can view: the client and any separately authorized viewer recorded by the studio.
• How access is granted: an anonymous shared password, or a studio PIN/invite, in distinct workflows.
• What can be downloaded: only published assets marked Final when a studio gallery's download setting is enabled.
• How long access lasts: anonymous galleries expire after 14 days; studio galleries archive after 14 days, while invite expiry remains separate.

Clients sometimes change their mind about sharing. Design for that reality. Use access methods you can revoke and avoid one permanent link that can be forwarded indefinitely.

When a client wants to share, give them a safe way to do it: a separate partner invite that can expire. Keep the client as the primary viewer.

• Avoid permanent public links for intimate work.
• Use partner invites as an optional step, not a default.
• Offer revocation: disable invites and change passwords when needed.
• Keep viewing and downloading permissions separate.

A retention policy is a privacy policy. Proofs should not remain accessible forever by accident, and finals should not be downloadable forever unless you intend them to be.

Write the policy in plain language: when proofs expire, how long finals remain available, and what to do if the client needs access later.

• Proof invite expiry follows the studio's stated selection schedule.
• Finals remain available per your studio policy, then archive.
• You can re-enable access on request if your business supports it.
• Access can be revoked at any time if privacy needs change.

A policy only works if it matches reality. Private routes are omitted from sitemaps and send noindex and robots directives, but authorization is the privacy boundary and crawler compliance is not guaranteed.

If you publish a public portfolio or sample gallery, separate it from client delivery and use only images that are explicitly approved for public use.

Use a short summary, then link to the full studio policy and contract terms.

Have qualified local counsel review legal language; this guide only covers gallery workflow.

• Your studio may enable a PIN or issue a separate invite when access must be restricted.
• A valid access method can be forwarded, and an authorized viewer can capture the screen.
• Proofing-gallery downloads are disabled; finals use the gallery's published Finals.
• Proof invites can expire sooner; studio galleries archive after 14 days, while permanent deletion follows the retention policy.
