4. Why Momentas processes information

• Create, display, update, sync, and delete memories
• Authenticate users and manage accounts
• Operate private sharing and shared-memory features
• Generate, validate, revoke, expire, and delete invite links
• Show limited invite preview information before acceptance
• Create the actual shared memory only after an invite is accepted
• Deliver reminders, notifications, widgets, and daily summaries
• Preserve user preferences and display choices
• Investigate issues, improve reliability, and prevent misuse or abuse
• Respond to support, access, correction, and deletion requests

5. How private sharing works

When a user taps Share on a memory, Momentas does not immediately create a shared memory. It first creates a pending invite and a shareable invite link. The full shared memory is created only if the recipient accepts the invite.

The invite link itself is lightweight and contains only an invite token. Before acceptance, the preview is limited to the small set of information used by the preview screen, such as the title, preview photo, fallback visual styling, and creator display name if present.

6. Device permissions and access

Momentas may request access to device features only when needed for user-facing functionality, such as photos or media access when a user adds an image, notifications when a user enables reminders or daily summaries, and location access when a user chooses to attach place-related context to a memory.

If a permission is not granted, some features may not work, but other parts of the app may continue to function.

7. In-app disclosures

Momentas may show short in-app disclosures at the moment a feature is first used, especially where personal or sensitive data is involved in a way that may not be obvious from context alone.

For example, the sharing flow may include a disclosure explaining that, before acceptance, the recipient can see limited invite preview information, and that the full shared memory is created only after the invite is accepted.

8. When information may be shared

• With the person the user intentionally chooses to share a memory with
• With service providers that help run authentication, hosting, storage, delivery, or reliability-related systems
• When required for legal compliance, security, abuse prevention, fraud prevention, or protection of rights

Momentas does not treat shared memories as public posts. Shared content is intended to be visible only according to the app's sharing flow and permissions.

9. Google Drive Backup

If a user chooses to enable Google Drive Backup, Momentas can store a backup of personal memory cards in that user's own Google Drive. This can include card details, reminders, rituals, and related media such as photos or voice notes.

Google Drive Backup is optional, can be turned off in the app at any time, and is used for backup rather than syncing memories across devices.

10. Storage, retention, and deletion

Momentas keeps information for as long as reasonably needed to operate the app, support account and shared-memory functions, preserve settings, maintain security, respond to support issues, investigate misuse, and meet legal obligations.

We collect anonymous technical and usage data to help improve the app experience. This may include information such as error reports, session duration, and feature interactions. It does not include your name, email address, or any other direct personal identifiers. We use this data solely to understand how the app is used, improve performance, and fix issues. This data is stored securely, is not sold to third parties, and is currently set to be retained for up to 30 days.

The public Momentas website may also use optional Google Analytics, but only after a visitor gives consent through the website banner. This helps measure page visits, broad device and browser information, and which public pages are most useful. It is not used to read the private content of memories stored in the app. Retention of that website analytics data depends on the Google Analytics settings configured for the site.

• An active account
• A pending or accepted share
• Support communication
• Security or abuse-prevention records
• Legal obligations

11. Account deletion and data deletion

Where account deletion is supported, users may be able to delete their account through the app or through the account deletion route provided by Momentas.

Deletion may result in removal, detachment, anonymization, or retention of certain data depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it must be kept, including security, legal, abuse-prevention, or technical reasons.

12. Security

Momentas uses reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information handled by the app. These may include authentication controls, access restrictions, secure transmission, and other safeguards appropriate to the app's functions.

No system can be guaranteed completely secure, but Momentas works to reduce risk and limit unnecessary exposure.

• Manage invites
