Privacy Settings

The following privacy settings have been set for our Flickr website.

You, below, includes yourself, my students, and anyone else who have the web address (URL) of the Flickr website, the Yahoo! ID, and the password.

Who can download your photos?	Only you
Who can print your photos?	Only you

I check the above privacy settings at the beginning of a class.

I don't monitor the privacy settings during class.

Because the other students have the Yahoo! ID and password, they could change the privacy settings.

Another student could also distribute the web address of the Flickr website, as well as the Yahoo! ID and password, to anyone.

Therefore, your photographs could become available to the public should a student change the privacy settings or distribute the web address, the Yahoo! ID, and the password.

Post photographs to the Flickr website with the understanding that the photographs could become public.
