Photo Security hides students who can't appear in shared photos. GeoSnapShot uses face recognition to find them in every photo you upload, and keeps those photos out of any gallery families can see.
Two ways to mark students
Connect your school system (recommended). GeoSnapShot brings in your students, their portraits and their photo permissions from your MIS/SIS through Wonde. Students without permission are hidden automatically, and the list stays up to date.
Upload portraits yourself. Add a clear photo of each student who can't be shown.
Upload portraits
Go to Settings and open the Photo security tab.
Under Photo Redaction, click Add Photos and choose a clear, front-on portrait. Use one person per photo; group photos aren't supported.
Processing takes a few minutes. Your portraits appear under portraits added, with a count of Photos redacted.
Connect your school system
Under MIS/SIS Connection on the Photo security tab, click Connect and follow the steps. Your school then approves access in Wonde. The connection is set up by the account owner.
Check what's been hidden
Select a portrait to see the photos hidden for that student. Hidden photos stay in your account, so staff can still see them and fix any mistakes.
Good to know
Face recognition can occasionally miss a photo, for example if a face is turned away or covered. If a parent reports one, hide or delete that photo from your gallery.
Photo Security covers galleries you share through GeoSnapShot. Photos shared in newsletters or on social media are separate.
On the same tab you can also make all events private, turn off public sharing, turn off event passwords and, on some accounts, turn off downloads from published galleries.
Need a hand?
You can set up Photo Security yourself from the Photo security tab in Settings. If you can't see the tab, or you have questions, email [email protected] with your school's name and we'll help.
