1. The Sender's Privacy - you can opt to alter your photo's faces - it's 100% up to the Sender. If your photo includes face(s), you may opt to do a face blur. I even received a photo with an emoji over the face so you can do that or a block across the face or eyes. This is not a requirement, only an option for your privacy.
2. NO STREET ADDRESSES. You can, though, say your town/city and state.
3. You can use old photos - these photos do not have to be taken from this year.

You may have to resize photos to be able to send through your email.
6. RECEIVERS of Swaps, if you haven't received your swap from a SENDER, please view participants in this swap to see if they "sent" their swap. If they listed they have, please check your junk or spam email folder first before contacting them or give them a low rating.
