Original Connected planning aid. Adapt these examples together. This is not a scored or validated assessment.

Before you post a couple photo

An explicit consent check

ASK: Want to share?. Ask about this specific item and audience.

CLEAR YES: Agree the details, then share. Confirm the caption, tags, and location.

NO OR UNCLEAR: Do not post. No reply is not permission. Hold the item.

CHANGED MIND: Remove your copy. Discuss other copies and what cannot be recalled.

Consent to take a photo is not consent to share it.

Exact photo, story or announcement
Example: The photo we both reviewed after dinner

| Content | Our current agreement | Check again when |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Everyday couple photos | Ask about the specific image before public posting | The audience or caption changes |
| Relationship announcements | Agree on wording and timing together | Either person is not ready |
| Tags and live locations | Check separately from the photo | A post shows where we are now |
| Private conversations | Ask before sharing screenshots of ordinary private conversations | Confidential help for mistreatment or safety does not require permission |
| Old photos and reposts | Check before resurfacing something personal | The context or comfort level has changed |
