How to Share an AI Pet Memorial Video Privately

1. Download the approved file and protect your account link

Save your approved video from Your memorials before its media window expires. Automated completion emails are currently disabled. If you need help finding the file, use the review and download guide.

Share the saved video through your chosen service. Never forward your private guest account link, access token or login credentials to relatives. A guest link grants access to associated orders and files; an email address alone does not establish ownership of your site account.

2. Check the picture, filename and any location data

Watch the entire downloaded clip before choosing its audience. Check for details you would rather keep private, including names, house numbers, tags or text. Use a simple filename such as pet-tribute.mp4, without your address, order reference or account details.

If you also plan to share the original pet photo, inspect its location metadata separately. Apple explains that shared photos or videos can expose embedded location information and provides controls to review and remove it. Follow the relevant steps in Apple's location-metadata guide. Inspect the source photo itself, even if you have already reviewed the video.

3. Give access to named recipients

If you already use Google Drive, this desktop example keeps the audience specific:

1. Upload your saved video to a location you own that is not already shared with other people or groups.
2. Open the file's Share menu. Set General access to Restricted.
3. Add each intended recipient's Google Account email address. Confirm the address with them, then choose Viewer.
4. Review the access list before completing sharing. Google Drive can send an invitation; its notification option is controlled in the sharing dialog.

Google documents these choices in its file-sharing instructions. Your owner name and email are visible when you share a Drive link. Work or school accounts may restrict external sharing.

Viewer does not automatically prevent downloading. Check the file's sharing settings if you want to limit downloads. Google also explains that folder access can carry over to files inside it, so inspect existing access as well as the general-access setting.

4. Test what the recipient can actually open

Ask one intended recipient to open the sharing link using the account you added. Have them confirm that the correct video plays and that the filename and permissions match your intentions. Do not request their password or sign in as them.

Also open the link in a signed-out private browser window. If the video plays without authorization, stop and review the settings before sending the link further. This checks anonymous access; it does not replace testing with the intended recipient.

5. Agree on onward sharing and understand removal

Tell recipients whether they may save or repost the tribute. An illustrative message is: “An AI-created pet tribute for our family. Please ask before reposting.” See English and Spanish memorial captions for wording, and keep the AI nature clear under our Acceptable Use Policy.

In Drive, you can remove a directly added person's access from the Share menu and save the change. Existing downloads remain outside that control. Google warns that its restrictions cannot prevent people from sharing content in other ways; consult its sharing-control guidance. No sharing setting guarantees that a recipient will never copy or pass on a video.

The site's seven-day media window is separate from account and accounting retention, and from copies stored in your chosen sharing service. Read the Privacy Policy for those boundaries. If your concern involves a site access link or account, contact support with an order reference, without including the private link itself.
