Frequently Asked Questions

Find quick answers about Secure Notes, Protected Links, and EXIF Data Removal — everything you need to know about staying private, secure, and in control with Privacy Share.

Private Notes

You can create a private message that will be permanently deleted after it’s read once. The note is encrypted before storage, and only the recipient can decrypt and view it.
Yes. Notes are encrypted using AES-256 and transmitted securely via SSL. Once opened, the message is permanently deleted from the server — nothing remains accessible afterward.
No. Private notes can only be opened once. After the first view, the message is automatically destroyed for both sender and recipient.
You can securely send passwords, private notes, or other confidential data. Remember: the message is destroyed after it’s opened.
Notes remain available for 30 days. After that period, they are automatically deleted — even if they were never opened.
The OTP adds an extra layer of protection. When enabled, a one-time password is sent to the recipient’s email address and must be entered before the note can be decrypted and read.

Secure Links

The tool lets you create a protected URL for any website or file. You can add an expiration date, password, and click limit to control access and duration.
Yes. You can add a password and a click limit so the link can only be accessed by authorized users — and only a limited number of times.
Once the limit is reached, the secure link is automatically deactivated and can no longer be accessed.
Yes. You can enable optional email notifications to get an alert each time someone clicks your secure link.

EXIF Data Removal

EXIF data can include sensitive information such as GPS location, camera model, and capture date. Removing it helps protect your privacy when sharing photos online.
The EXIF Cleaner removes hidden metadata such as GPS coordinates, camera model, device ID, capture time, and other identifying details embedded in your images.
No. All EXIF data cleaning happens directly in your browser. Your images never leave your device, and nothing is uploaded or saved on our servers.
No. Only metadata is removed — the image’s quality, resolution, and visual appearance remain unchanged.
Yes. The EXIF Cleaner works entirely in your browser, so it functions on both mobile and desktop devices without installation or uploads.
