“I understand Amit. These many pics means it’s not safe for my privacy”
“Neha…You and I are not celebrities. Who will really share these pics?”
“I don’t know Amit”
“Neha….we have high speed Internet now. There is unlimited access to porn galleries and videos. You are not any actress or famous. Nobody will really bother about your Identity or pics. That doesn’t mean I am careless. Of course I assure you the privacy. I am just building confidence in you”
“I understand Amit”
“Neha dear….We will take the memory card from him. He will not have any copies with him. That’s strict policy we have. Once we print the hard copies, we will destroy soft copies completely. We will only maintain soft copy on a CD and you get to keep it in a safe locker”
“Amit….how can you send copies to people in other cities if you don’t have soft copies?”
“Neha dear, you asked a good question. Well…when I said we will destroy soft copies, that’s entirely false”
“Amit…I knew it…What are you hiding?”
“Well Neha dear…There are apps which can do the job for us”
“Go on…”
“Neha dear….We have so many pics right?”
“Yes Amit”
“We have encryption software which can split each image into two parts. One part of image will be there with you and another part with me”
“ok and ?”
“Let’s say you want to share a pic to the client. We create a social group in a special application. You, me and client three of us. Similar to whatsapp group but in different app”
“Go on…Amit…Don’t give pauses”
“When we form a group. It remains valid for only 30 minutes. I send first part of the pic to the client in the group. You have to approve the pic. Once you approve it, Your phone will merge the second part of the pic with fist part sent by me. App will merge the both parts and it will reach the client as full picture. It gets destroyed in 15 minutes time.”
“Amit…what is stopping the client from saving the image?”
“The app won’t allow it dear. It’s encrypted”
“Amit. What is stopping the client from taking the screenshot of the picture?”
“That’s actually good question Neha. Have you ever used Snapchat?”
“No Amit”
“Oh poor dear Neha”
“Amit…”
“Neha dear…You can break almost every rule in this world with loopholes. No client will ever try to save those images as it may get them into trouble if anyone sees those in their phones. This app prevents screenshots and also sends us a notification if the client tries to capture the screenshot of the pic”
“Amit…What is preventing the client from taking photos of the screen of their phone with other camera?”
“Neha dear….Pics will only be visible to client when two of their fingers rest on two random positions on the screen. They will block pics with their hands, so they can’t take a pic. Neha…..like I said earlier. You can break rules but it’s rare. Clients don’t want your pics, they want you and your body”
“ok Amit”
“Any more questions dear?”
“No Amit I’m fine”
He joined his both hands as if he is praying and said “Thank you dear!”
I told him to stop over-action. He smiled at me. I also smiled at him.
I asked him where we should go for lunch
