How Cutiko Protects Your Baby's Photos and Family Memories

Your baby's first smile, the nap times, the photos nobody else needs to see. They're personal, and who gets to see them should be your call. We built Cutiko that way from the first day, not as a setting to add later.

Cutiko runs on a server we wrote ourselves, so we can say exactly what happens to a photo after you save it. Here is what that looks like for your photos, videos, and daily records.

Your Family Memories Aren't Public Files

When you save a photo or video, it doesn't go into a public gallery or behind a link anyone can open. Your family's media is stored apart from everything else, and the server checks who is asking every time someone tries to view a file.

Parents see everything in their family. Grandparents and anyone else you invite see only what you've chosen to share with them. Knowing the address of a photo isn't enough. Without permission, it won't open.

The check happens on every request, so changing your sharing settings changes who can see your memories right away. You shouldn't need a security manual to send a photo to grandma.

Photos and Videos Stay on Our Own Systems

Many services hand uploaded photos and videos to outside companies to process. We do that work ourselves, on our own machines, so we know where your files go.

When you upload a photo, your device first makes a smaller copy and sends that one. The copy is redrawn, so it keeps the picture and drops extra camera information, like where it was taken. It loads faster, and it doesn't say where you were standing.

Videos are converted on our own servers, not by an outside video service. Then they sit in your baby memory book next to the photos and milestones.

Their moments are theirs. We just help keep them safe.

Signing In Without a Password

You're already juggling enough without one more password to remember.

When you sign in, Cutiko sends a six-digit code to your email. The code is random and expires after 10 minutes, so there's no password to reuse or leak. Changing the email on your account works the same way.

Collecting Less

Before we collect something, we ask whether the service needs it.

For example, when you connect, we use your internet address to work out a rough city and country. We keep the city and country, so your account can show "Berlin, Germany" beside an open session and you can spot a sign-in that isn't yours. We don't keep the address itself in Cutiko's own records.

We also keep a little device and session information, such as the type of browser and the screen size, to run the service and protect accounts. Each item has a job. The privacy policy has the full details.

Why We Built Our Own Server

We built the core ourselves to understand how family information moves through Cutiko. It handles sign-in, photo permissions, and the live updates behind the baby tracker. Fewer outside services means fewer places your information can end up.

Writing our own server doesn't make us immune to mistakes. Security takes steady work, and we'll keep at it as Cutiko grows. When we find a problem, we can fix it at the source, because the code is ours.

A Private Place for Their Growing Story

Feeding times, milestones, and family photos shouldn't have to wonder whether they're becoming public. Cutiko is a personal space for everyday baby care and the memories that go with it.

As Cutiko grows, protecting your family's information stays part of every decision we make. Features will change. Your baby's story still belongs to your family.
