Intimate Gallery Sharing: Client and Partner Access Options

Ask whether the gallery is client-only or may be shared with a partner, then record that choice.

Use a studio PIN or separate invite when access must be restricted. A valid access method can still be forwarded.

Permanent links are hard to control once forwarded. Invite-based access lets you expire or disable sharing later if the client changes their mind.

• Use expiring invites instead of a single share URL.
• Set a short access window for partner viewing.
• Disable invites with one click if consent changes.
• Avoid putting passwords in public emails or social DMs.

Offer partner access only when the client requests it.

A separate invite keeps access revocable and makes the sharing decision explicit.

Set proof-invite expiry and define a separate gallery-deletion date under the studio's retention policy.

Framekeep studio galleries archive automatically after 14 days.

Client messaging should be clear and short: who can view, how long access lasts, and how to change sharing later.

Use direct language and state the limits of forwarding and screen capture.

Remind clients they can request a fresh invite later if they want to reopen access.

Record the selected access, sharing, download, and retention settings before sending the client link.

• Configure PIN or invite access for client-only delivery when that matches the recorded consent choice; add partner access only if requested.
• Proofing-gallery downloads disabled; the gallery's published Finals used for selected images.
• Expiring invites with a stated retention timeline.
• Watermark proofs only if needed and remove for finals.

If the studio shows public samples, keep them separate from client delivery and use only images approved for that public use.

Never reuse a client gallery link for marketing.

• Use a dedicated marketing gallery that is fully approved for public use.
• Never repurpose a client gallery link for promotion.
• Keep consent records tied to the marketing gallery only.

Consent can change over time. Offer a straightforward path for clients to extend, shorten, or revoke access without friction.

Document the request, apply the access change, and confirm what changed.

• Provide a single contact method for access changes.
• Document the request and confirm the change.
• Reissue invites only if the client asks.
• Confirm any changes in writing so both sides are aligned.
