Privacy Policy

Welcome to Pikbits. Pikbits is a platform to share original pictures (action adventures, scenery, landmarks, etc.) that our members submit with a twist. It’s not the typical photo sharing site, you will submit a picture to make up a mosaic. Your picture might even be the mosaic. The picture will go through a week cycle. They will start off very pixilated with ads and/or submitted pictures. By the end of the week they will become clear pictures. This will be an endless cycle, with a new picture starting every day.  The goal of the site is to create a very clean and attractive site with minimal distractions.  The pictures make up the site, no popup ads, no banner ads, just pictures. The pictures will be made up of advertisements.  We want to create a fun, game like environment that will allow visitors to the site to try to guess what the picture is before it becomes clear on the seventh day.  We will have a comment section for people to discuss the picture. Recognition will go to the one that guesses the picture first.
