PrivateFamily
Zero public reach
No public feed, no "friend of a friend." Only the people you invite individually, with a one-time code, will ever see a photo of your child.
PrivateFamily / Kids' photos without social media
Sharenting
Share your kids' photos without social media
The word exists because the practice is so widespread: "sharenting" — a blend of "share" and "parenting" — describes a parent posting photos or information about their child online. Most families do it at least once. That's not a judgment; it's a well-documented, mainstream topic, not a rare exception.
It comes with equally well-documented concerns. A photo posted to an open or semi-open network can travel far beyond its intended audience, and be copied or reshared in ways the parent no longer controls. The child's face can also be processed by the platform's own systems — facial recognition, ad profiling, or, according to what several major platforms have publicly reported, the training of AI models. Year after year, this builds a public digital footprint, long before the child is old enough to decide what they want to show of themselves.
None of this is inevitable — the circle you share within changes everything.
Closed circle
What changes when the circle is closed
An open social network and a closed family circle don't work the same way. Here's exactly what the second model changes for your children's photos.
No algorithm, no automatic tagging
No recommendation engine, no facial recognition that could resurface your child's photo somewhere else, years later, without anyone having decided that.
Nothing to feed, nothing to analyze
No advertising system to feed. End-to-end encryption goes further: it makes it technically impossible for us to analyze your child's photos, unlike most social networks.
Child profiles
A private growth journal, just for your family
Height, weight, growth curve, milestones like "first steps" or "first word": your child's profile fills in over time, and their age is automatically shown on every one of their photos.
This journal stays strictly private — visible only to the people you've invited into your family, never anywhere else, and never used to identify your child on another service.
Frequently asked questions
What people ask us most
What is "sharenting"?
It's a blend of "share" and "parenting": a parent posting photos or information about their child online. The word exists because the practice is so widespread — it's a well-documented, mainstream topic, not an isolated habit.
Does my child have an account or a public profile?
No. A child profile in PrivateFamily is simply a private journal that only your family can see: growth data and photos, never a public or browsable profile, and never used for facial recognition or any kind of tagging.
Can I remove someone from the family later?
Yes. A family admin or co-admin can revoke a member's access at any time, with no conditions attached.
Does PrivateFamily analyze faces in photos?
No. Photos are encrypted end-to-end, so we technically have no way to run any kind of analysis on them — facial recognition included.
What happens if I post a story?
It stays visible for 24 hours, only to your family circle, and then it's permanently deleted — file included. It never becomes part of any public or semi-public feed.
