Discover the robust Data Rights Management (DRM) features Flipsnack offers to protect your digital content, including privacy controls, watermarking, download restrictions, and more.
Data Rights Management (DRM): Data Rights Management (DRM) is essential for any organization looking to protect its digital content from unauthorized access, copying, distribution, and modification. Flipsnack recognizes the importance of safeguarding your intellectual property and has implemented a comprehensive suite of DRM features to help you protect the content you share.
Privacy controls: Flipsnack provides a robust set of privacy controls to ensure that only authorized viewers have access to your flipbooks:
- Password protection: Secure your flipbooks by requiring viewers to enter a password before accessing your content, ensuring only those with the correct password can view your publications.
- Domain restriction: Limit access to your flipbooks by specifying allowed domains, particularly useful for internal documents intended only for your organization.
- Unlisted publications: Keep your flipbooks private by making them unlisted, so they do not appear in search engines and can only be accessed by those with the direct link.
To explore these options in detail, refer to the following articles:
- Password-Protected Flipbooks
- Unlisted, Published, and Draft Publications
- Share with Specific People Only
Watermarking: Watermarking is a powerful tool for protecting and branding your content. By adding watermarks, such as your company logo or custom text, you deter unauthorized copying and ensure your brand remains visible, even when content is shared without permission. Watermarks can be added to every page of your flipbook, providing continuous protection across your publication. For an example of effective watermarking in Flipsnack, check out this example.
Download restrictions: Controlling the distribution of your content is crucial in the digital age. Flipsnack offers the ability to disable the download feature for your flipbooks. Disabling downloads ensures that your content can only be viewed online, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized distribution—particularly beneficial for sensitive or premium content where control over who can save or redistribute your work is vital.
Non-Copyable text: To provide an additional layer of security, Flipsnack renders text in your flipbooks in a manner that prevents it from being easily copied or extracted. This measure helps protect your content from being reproduced without your permission, ensuring that your original work remains intact and secure. This feature is especially important for educational materials, proprietary business documents, and any content where intellectual property protection is a priority.
Single Sign-On (SSO): Flipsnack supports Single Sign-On (SSO) to simplify and secure the login process for your team. By integrating with leading identity providers, Flipsnack allows your organization to manage access efficiently and securely:
- Azure Active Directory (OpenID): Seamlessly integrate Flipsnack with your existing Microsoft infrastructure, allowing users to authenticate using their Azure credentials.
- Okta: Utilize Okta’s powerful identity management capabilities to ensure that only authorized users can access your Flipsnack account.
- Google Identity Platform (OAuth 2.0): Leverage Google’s secure authentication framework to provide easy access to your team members with their Google accounts.
SSO simplifies user management, reduces password fatigue, and enhances security. A non-federated account is only required during the initial SSO setup. After setup, users can exclusively use their SSO accounts if this option is enabled on the Teammates page in the Flipsnack Dashboard. This not only streamlines access but also ensures that your team adheres to your organization's security policies.
Additional considerations: Beyond the features listed above, Flipsnack offers other ways to enhance the security and usability of your content:
- Analytics and reporting: Track who is viewing your flipbooks, how often, and for how long. These insights help you understand your audience better and ensure your content is being accessed by the right people.
- Custom permissions: Depending on your subscription level, Flipsnack may offer advanced permissions settings, allowing you to control access at a more granular level, such as by individual users or groups within your organization. You can find additional information here.
By leveraging these DRM features, Flipsnack helps you maintain control over your digital content, ensuring that it remains secure, private, and within your control at all times.
