Keep control of follows

Know who you're sharing with and manage when you get a push notification

Controlling who follows you and who you follow as well as how many updates you get is pretty simple.

Reasons to keep control with FamDam

• Most FamDam accounts have 10-20 followers
  You control who you let in and you control if they stay. We encourage our uploaders to hide themselves from search once the key members of their family are following, if new family members sign up, you can invite them to your profile.
• You as you
  Keep your social media accounts for sharing your updates and use FamDam for sharing the private family joy.
• No Public Pictures… Ever
  As part of our mission to keep childrens images from mass public sharing we do not have a website and we will never create public sharing of your family photos
• Your Copyright
  Our Terms and Conditions spell it out - the original photographer ALWAYS owns the copyright of the images uploaded, we only ask for a licence to share them to your chosen family followers and normal app like reasons (never for marketing or to be sold)

Blur or not to blur

By default we blur every photo until you click to view it. But what if you don't want to blur a photo? Just change the setting as you upload it, simples!

Reasons to keep things private on FamDam

• Hand picked followers
  You can only share images and videos with those that you have hand picked to follow your profile, each user is verified and we actively encourage parents (or anyone) to not have too many followers.
• Sensitive information never gathered
  We do not show exact dates, times or locations of any photos uploaded, meaning personal information can not be gathered by even those that follow you.
• Protected Images
  We allow all images to be blurred until you touch the screen and we have screenshot detection that logs and ultimately bans anyone who takes screenshots.
• You always own the copyright
  At FamDam we believe that children own their image, so shared images are only shown for 6, 9 or 12 months. We also ask that all images uploaded are jointly copyrighted by the uploader and those in the images.

Reasons to share your family joy on FamDam

• Quick, easy and private
  With FamDam it takes less than 30 seconds to upload a photo and the family will love you for taking those 30 seconds to share a great family update.
• Aunty Jo isn’t missing out
  We all have family members that we really don’t see much or message, now with FamDam Aunty Jo can sign up for instant, daily or just weekly updates from you and of course other family members that she’ll follow
• Time travelling
  We would never advocate FamDam replacing visits or video chats, but while you’re busy with life and picking up dirty socks, the rest of the family will feel closer and in the loop of all the ‘fun’* you’re having.

*Well all the fun the family is having, sockhunt really isn’t that fun.
