1. A journaling system for storing of a user's images and controlling access thereto to third parties designated by the user, comprising:
a system server comprising a processor, a memory, and machine-readable code stored in said memory and executable by said processor;
a data storage device in communication with said processor of said server;
wherein said machine readable code is configured to cause said processor to receive said user images and one or more user-designated access settings, wherein said user images are stored as digital information by said data storage device, are associated with a single user account and are grouped into image subsets, each image subset associated with said single user account, the user account comprising a main subset of information relating to said user and said image subsets, said image subsets comprising a group of one or more of said images, and wherein a user-designated access setting is associated with said main subset and each image subset, each user-designated access setting designating one or more third parties who may access said main subset and each image subset, wherein user-designated access settings associated with different subsets may designate different third parties who may access said different subsets, wherein one or more of the user-designated access settings comprise a public designation and at least one group comprising two or more third parties;
wherein said machine readable code is further configured to cause said processor to control access to the main subset and each image subset to those third parties defined by said user-designated access settings by comparing information identifying a third party requesting access to one or more subsets to the one or more user-designated access settings, wherein access to one or more of the one or more subsets is granted only if said third party is designated by the one or more user-designated access settings; and
wherein said machine readable code is further configured to cause said processor to retrievably store the information relating to the user associated with the main subset and the images associated with the image subset for delivery to a third party to whom access is granted.
