Steps

  1. Before upload/display, call flickr.prefs.getPrivacy to read the user's current default privacy setting
  2. Either upload photos using that default privacy level or surface it as the pre-selected option in any privacy picker you present
  3. Re-check this default periodically (Flickr recommends checking daily) since users can change it outside your app
  4. Use Flickr's standardized privacy terms (Public, Friends, Family, Friends and Family, Private) rather than inventing your own labels
  5. Cache Flickr API results and images for up to 24 hours to reduce redundant calls, per Flickr's guidance
