Turning a family photo into a cartoon takes seconds. So does handing a company a clear image of your children’s faces. Neither is automatically a problem, but the second deserves a moment of thought.
Four questions
- Who else is in it, and would they be happy with this?
- Is there anything readable behind us, like a letter, screen or number plate?
- Does the file include where it was taken?
- What does the service say it keeps, and for how long?
If any answer makes you hesitate, crop the image, pick a different one, or skip the upload. The cartoon will not be missed.
