Last updated September 4, 2024
Unsplash is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your account and data. This guide will walk you through the key privacy and security settings available on Unsplash and how to configure them to meet your needs.
Managing Your Privacy Settings
- Profile Visibility: Control who can view your profile and photos by adjusting your privacy settings. You can choose to make your profile public, private, or only visible to your followers.
- Download Attribution: Decide whether you want to receive attribution when your photos are downloaded.
- Data Collection: Review Unsplash's data collection practices and understand how your information is used to personalize your experience. You have the option to opt out of certain data collection activities.
- Communication Preferences: Customize your email and notification settings to receive only the information and updates that are relevant to you.
Securing Your Account
- Strong Password: Create a strong password that is unique to your Unsplash account and avoid using the same password for other accounts.
- Two-Factor Authentication: Enable two-factor authentication for an extra layer of security. This requires you to enter a verification code from your phone each time you log in.
- Account Activity: Review your account activity log to monitor any suspicious login attempts or changes to your profile.
- Reporting Suspicious Activity: If you notice any unusual activity or suspect your account has been compromised, contact Unsplash support immediately.
Additional Security Measures
- Keep Your Software Up-to-Date: Ensure your browser and operating system are running the latest security updates to protect against vulnerabilities.
- Secure Wi-Fi Connections: Use a strong password to protect your home Wi-Fi network and avoid using public Wi-Fi connections for sensitive tasks.
- Be Aware of Phishing: Be cautious of suspicious emails or links that claim to be from Unsplash and always verify the authenticity of the sender.
Unsplash prioritizes the privacy and security of its users. By understanding and managing your settings appropriately, you can ensure your account and personal information are protected.
