  • Publication number: 20130247220
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system, method, and program product for controlling access to a digital image. A first computing device receives a digital image from a second computing device. The first computing device stores the digital image in local storage on the first computing device. The first computing device displays the digital image to an authorized user in a first user interface provided by the first computing device. Subsequently, in response to receiving instructions from the second computing device, the first computing device deletes the digital image from local storage on the first computing device. The first computing device can transmit a second digital image to another computing device for display in a user interface and, subsequently, transmit instructions to the other computing device that, when received, cause the other computing device to delete the digital image from local storage.
