Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 24, 2026

This policy explains what data the Memøries app ("Memøries", "we", "us") collects, why, and how you can control it. Memøries is a photo-organizing app for Android. Most of what the app does — browsing your gallery, AI categorization, face grouping, editing — happens entirely on your device and never leaves it. The sections below cover the parts that do involve a server.

Data we collect

Data	Why	When
Email address	Create and sign in to your account	When you create an account (email/password or Google Sign-In)
Photos and videos	Cloud backup, so you can recover them and share albums	Only for photos you mark as favorites or in an album with backup turned on — never your whole library by default
Location (from photo EXIF data)	Group photos by trip or place in the app	Read from photos already on your device; only processed for photos you allow the app to access
Advertising ID	Show ads to free-tier users, including optional rewarded videos that unlock features	Continuously while ads are shown, only on the free tier (no ads for paid subscribers)
Subscription status	Know which storage plan you're on	Handled by Google Play Billing — we receive your entitlement (e.g. "Pro"), never your card details
Referral code	Credit you with bonus storage when a friend you invited signs up	Only if you use the invite-a-friend feature
Name and profile picture	Shown to your friends in the app and to people you share an album with, so they know who it is from	Taken from your Google account when you sign in with Google; otherwise the first part of your email address
Friends list	Lets you share albums with people in one tap	Created when someone opens your invite link, signs up with your code, or accepts an album you shared. You can remove a friend at any time
Push notification token	Notify you when someone shares an album with you or adds photos to a shared album	When you are signed in and have allowed notifications. Removed when you sign out
Crash reports	Find and fix bugs	When the app crashes or hits an error: device model, OS version, app version and technical details of the error. No photos, no email address
A single photo you choose to edit	AI object removal and background clean-up	Only when you start one of these edits on a photo. The photo is processed and the result returned; it is not kept for any other purpose

What we don't do

• We don't sell your data to anyone.
• We don't upload your whole photo library without your say-so — only favorites and albums you've explicitly turned backup on for.
• We don't share your photos with other people unless you deliberately share an album with them.
• We don't use your photos to train AI models. Categorization, face grouping, blur detection and sensitive-photo detection run on your device. The only exception is when you choose an AI edit (object removal or background clean-up): that one photo is sent to the cloud to be processed.

Who we share data with

We use a small number of service providers to run the app. Each only receives what it needs to do its job:

• Supabase — account authentication and the database that stores your profile, favorites, and album metadata.
• Backblaze B2 — cloud storage for the actual photo/video files you back up.
• RevenueCat and Google Play Billing — subscription management and payment processing. We never see or store your payment card details.
• Google AdMob — shows ads to free-tier users and reads the advertising ID for that purpose.
• Google Sign-In — optional sign-in method, if you choose to use it instead of email.
• Cloudflare — hosts this website and the backend that handles album sharing links.
• Replicate — runs the AI model for object removal, only for a photo you choose to edit.
• Expo and Google Firebase Cloud Messaging — deliver push notifications to your device.
• Sentry (EU data region) — crash and error reports.

None of these providers are permitted to use your data for their own purposes beyond providing the service to us.

Your choices

• Delete your account: email us at the address below and we'll delete your account, profile, and any photos backed up to the cloud. Photos on your device are unaffected — deletion only applies to what's in the cloud.
• Turn off backup: disable backup per-album or for favorites at any time in the app; new photos stop uploading immediately.
• Ads: subscribing to any paid plan removes ads entirely. You can also limit ad personalization in your Android device's Google settings.
• Permissions: photo library and location access can be revoked at any time in Android Settings → Apps → Memøries → Permissions. The app will simply have less to work with if you do.

Children

Memøries is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect data from them. Account creation requires an email address, same as any general-audience app.

Security

Data in transit is encrypted (HTTPS). Access to your data in our database is restricted using row-level security tied to your account — other users cannot read your data.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page. Significant changes will also be noted in the app's release notes.
