HOW MUCH......?

[Jill]

...potentially identifying information do you show on your uploaded LOs?


First names?
Complete names?
No names?
Faces?
Dates?
Places?

I mostly show the first name, the place (if it is somewhere away from home) and the date. I am wondering if it is a good idea to even use the name these days. What do you do??

I show: mostly 'initials' as opposed to first names. I list dates/places....well after the fact. Hence i am so far behind on scrapping.

I debated this a lot when I first started digital scrapping *and sharing. So, my first layouts, I did the extra steps and blurred faces and didn't use as much journaling. I even accidently printed a handful of pages with the faces still blurred.

Now, I show faces and use first names. Sometimes, I use place names. I figure that most of that stuff is out there anyway. I usually ask permission is my layout is someone not in my immediate family before sharing.

I show faces, although once upon a time I blurred them out.
Right now, I put locations on them, but half the time you can't figure out where they were taken. That and we move too much, if you could figure it out, chances are we aren't there any longer!

I don't put detailed information like physical address or phone numbers. I generally blur out middle names.
I guess I try to be vague, but today with social media, it's almost impossible for anyone to be vague any more. Even the GS designers know my real name, when three years ago, they didn't--all because of social media!

I really haven't thought about it. Use first names only and never put important info on layouts.

I do, however, try not to put photos with bathing suits or diapers/ undies etc. A few years ago, a bunch of layouts ( not mine) with were found on a sketchy site taken from the gallery at two peas. The site was later shut down I believe.

I don't worry too much with faces and first names. The way social media is, I know that if someone wanted to find the info, they could. We also have a family blog, it's not google searchable, but it isn't "hidden" either. Honestly, the government can find whatever it wants, so, I figure if they don't think I'm hiding anything maybe they have less reason to look.

I recently read an article about all the information will be available once our kids are grown up. I try not to post LOs that will embarrass my kids - they are teens, so there's nothing worse than naked baby pictures As long as I don't embarrass them, they "allow" me to take pictures and use them for layouts.
I add first names, dates and places. I almost never use last names. I try to blur out background people (like if I'm at Disneyland) if the faces are recognizable since I figure I don't have their permission (I don't always have time for that).

I use first names and mostly just post pics of my kids' faces. I add journaling after the fact, and usually don't have identifying places. However, I get all excited when I see some of your layouts in the gallery and I recognize the scenery!

I don't typically put our last names - but that's about it.

I don't blur faces. Some layouts have no journaling when posted, some have generic or even made up journaling that I will then change if I'll later print the layout.
