Digital Legacy: Who Owns Our Images After We’re Gone?

What happens to your online presence and digital assets after you pass away? When we upload photos to platforms like Facebook, Instagram, or Google Photos, we agree to terms of service that many people never read—and those terms have real implications for who can access, use, or inherit those images after we’re gone. Join us for a presentation by Emmy Hilliard of Grow Digital Skills that seeks to equip you with a better understanding of our new tech landscape. You’ll discover how social media terms of service affect ownership and inheritance of photos and content. Learn platform-specific tools like Facebook’s Legacy Contact and Google’s Inactive Account Manager. See practical steps you can take now to ensure family members can access (or properly memorialize) their accounts. Also, learn password management tips to create a digital estate plan alongside a traditional one.
