How to Protect Your Personal Family Photos and Videos

How to Protect Your Personal Family Photos and Videos?

Everybody desires that his personal & family photos and videos should not go into wrong hands. Because it is obvious that some corrupt people may use such type of stuff for their misdeeds. People can use these photos and videos by changing, altering and mixing with other videos and photos. So it is strongly recommended by us that you must keep secure and safe your family photos, family videos, marriage videos and videos and photos of other family functions.

On internet you will find thousands of pictures and videos of family girls, these pictures or videos are not made for internet but these have been uploaded to internet by some anonymous friends and colleagues. And it is attention-grabbing that normally the boy or girl in the photo is ignorant of its photos appearance on internet and so his/her photos and videos are sometimes shared and used by millions of people for just entertainment and photos as wallpapers of computers and mobile phones.

Here I am giving you some useful tips to secure your personal and family stuff (photos, videos and audio recordings):

  • Delete all of your personal videos and photos from your computer, laptop and mobile phone whenever you are going to sale your used computers or mobile phones. You should prefer to use any advanced folder deleting software to permanently delete your personal folders so these can not be recovered via recovery soft wares.
  • Format all drives of your computer, laptop, mobile phone, memory card, USB Flash Drives, Digital Cameras etc. when you are giving it to any other person even your friends and colleagues.
  • If you share your computer and/or mobile phone with others, you should use some security software e.g. PC Security to protect your folders and drives with password.
  • If you are going to hire a professional photographer or cameraman for your family or marriage functions, hire one you can trust.
  • Keep your CDs, DVDs, Photo Albums and Photo Frames in a safe place.
  • Never upload your family photos and videos on any social website or any other website.
  • Make controlled distribution of your family functions’ videos and photos.
  • Don’t make too many extra soft copies of personal videos and photos.


And at the end I would say that misusing of anybody’s personal videos and photos is a social crime which can bring some serious influence on ones life. Governments and International Authorities should make some legislation and strict implementation to stop unauthorized use and distribution of personal videos and photos without ones consent.
