Privacy Policy

At Moments (also referred to as “MemoryLane” in some project files), we are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information.

Introduction

Moments is a collaborative photo book creator that allows users to build personalized keepsakes for special occasions. We collect information to provide secure authentication, enable project collaboration, handle image uploads, generate previews and PDFs, and offer support via integrated chat. This Privacy Policy applies to our website, web application, and related services.

These providers process data on our behalf under strict contracts and do not use it for their own purposes. We do not sell your data to third parties.

Storage, Security & Data Retention

Storage

Your images, projects, and data are stored securely in configurable object storage (R2/AWS) with encryption at rest and in transit.

Security

We use industry-standard safeguards, including HTTPS, access controls, and regular audits. However, no online service is 100% secure—use strong passwords and review project sharing settings.

Retention

We retain your data only as long as needed to provide the service or as required by law (e.g., 30 days after project completion for inactive data). You can request deletion of your account and data at any time via support.

Cookies & Tracking

We use essential cookies for functionality (e.g., session management) and optional analytics cookies to understand usage patterns. You can manage preferences in your browser settings. Third-party services like Tawk.to may set their own cookies for chat functionality.

  • Essential: Required for authentication and core features.
  • Analytics: Aggregated data to improve the app (opt-out available).
  • Third-Party: From services like Clerk and Tawk.to.

Your Rights & Choices

Access & Correction

View or update your profile and project data via the dashboard.

Deletion & Opt-Out

Request data deletion or unsubscribe from emails through support or account settings.

Legal Rights

Depending on your location (e.g., GDPR in EU, CCPA in California), you may have rights to access, portability, or objection. Contact us to exercise these.

Special Considerations

Children

Moments is not intended for children under 13 (or 16 in some regions). We do not knowingly collect data from children without verifiable parental consent.

International Data Transfers

Data may be transferred to and processed in the US or other countries via third-party providers. We ensure adequate protections (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses) for such transfers.
