![]() ![]() In the next paragraph below this, Locket expands on what exactly this means. Locket says its users "retain whatever ownership rights in that content you had to begin with." However, Locket quickly follows up on that with the following message: "But you grant us a license to use that content." Right off the bat, things look boring enough. More specifically, the section titled 'Rights You Grant Us' has a few red flags. While all of that sounds fine, things become a bit more concerning while reviewing Locket Widget's terms of service. Locket encourages users to "be careful" about the types of photos users share and notes that it "works hard to keep data private and secure." Photos sent to a friend's Locket widget are available immediately, and shared photos can't be deleted from the other person's widget. The app's privacy policy primarily focuses on how photos work between users. Regarding contact information, Locket says it will "never save your contacts and never send text messages to your friends without your explicit permission." And, of course, Locket also collects photo data. This is done to help people quickly invite other friends/family to join their Locket network. All Locket users are required to enter their phone number and name to "identify you to other Locket users." Locket also requests that people share their contacts with the app. Looking at Locket's privacy policy, the app is very upfront about the type of data it collects. ![]() So, does that make Locket safe? Yes and no. Related: Locket Widget Not Showing Up? Here's How To Add It On Your Home Screen Rather than uploading a photo to a platform with millions of other users, images sent with Locket can only be shared with up to five contacts. It can also be easy to assume that Locket is safer than sharing pictures on Snapchat or Twitter. Users download it, add the widget to their home screen, and can then use that widget to share photos to friends' home screens. On the surface, Locket seems like a pretty harmless app. ![]()
