Frequently Asked Questions

Does this really prevent image theft?

PhotoSentry blocks the most common methods: right-clicking, image dragging, keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+S, Ctrl+U, etc.), and long-press saving on mobile. No solution can stop a determined attacker with screenshots, but PhotoSentry deters the vast majority of casual copying — which is where most theft happens.

Will it slow down my store?

No. PhotoSentry runs as a Shopify Theme App Extension — a lightweight script that loads through Shopify's own CDN. It doesn't modify your images, add watermarks, or inject external resources. Zero measurable impact on page speed.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. Long-press saving is blocked on both iOS and Android browsers. The custom warning modal is fully responsive too.

How do I set it up?

Install the app, then enable it in your theme editor (Online Store → Themes → Customize → App embeds → toggle PhotoSentry on). Takes about 30 seconds. No code to write, no developer needed.

Is it GDPR compliant?

Yes. We implement all required Shopify GDPR webhooks (data requests, customer redaction, shop redaction) and have a published privacy policy. Analytics data is handled in accordance with privacy regulations.

What's included in the free plan?

The free plan includes right-click blocking, image drag prevention, and keyboard shortcut blocking. Pro ($4.99/mo) adds the customizable warning modal, analytics dashboard, and geo-blocking.

What happens if I uninstall?

Protection stops immediately. We keep your data for 24 hours in case you reinstall. After that, everything is securely deleted per our privacy policy.
