Data Security
We take data security very seriously at Intoli, LLC.
-
Unlisted Images
Every image created using the ThreadShots browser extension is uploaded to ThreadShots.com where it is given a unique URL. Regardless of your choice to list it publicly or not, anyone who visits that exact URL will be able to view the image. Therefore, you should be aware that any image uploaded is, technically, publicly available. There are, however, over 56 billion possible urls for images so the likelihood of someone stumbling upon a random page is small.
-
Settings Pages
Similarly, settings pages are technically available publicly if somebody has an URL which encodes a secret key given to the submitter. This secret key plays the same role that a password normally would and for each image or submitter there are over 3*1021 possible secret keys. If somebody could guess one million keys per second then it would still take them over 100 million years to guess all of the possible keys for a single image page.

We use cookies, transparent images, and log file information to: (a) monitor the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns; (b) provide personalized content; and (c) monitor aggregated statistics about conversion rates, bounce rates, etc.
