How are my pictures stored?

They are stored on your computer in your "My Pictures" folder. They are stored online using the Amazon S3 storage solution. This means they are backed up with redundancy, it also means they are available to download, 24/7 365 days a year.

Backing up your pictures on the internet is a good idea - it protects your pictures from being lost not just if you computer breaks but what if your house flooded or had a fire, undoubtedly all your PCs and external hard drives will be lost or damaged. However, storing pictures online isn't without risk there are people out there who you probably don't want to see your personal pictures - including the people who made Gallery Viewer.
