Effective May 25, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Memories ("we", "us") collects, uses, and shares information when you use memories.brozy.org and related services (the "Service"). By using the Service you agree to this Policy.
1. Information We Collect
We collect the following categories of information:
- Account info: email, username, password hash, profile picture, profile description.
- User Content: videos, images, captions, comments, reactions, playlists, and metadata you upload or create.
- Technical info: IP address, user agent, device type, OS, browser, referrer, timestamps, and basic logs needed to operate the Service.
- Usage info: watch history, search queries, likes, subscriptions, watch time, and similar interaction events you generate on the Service.
- Cookies & local storage: session identifiers, security tokens, preferences (theme, volume), and the visited-videos list. We do not currently use third-party advertising trackers.
- Push subscription: if you opt in, your browser-provided push endpoint and keys (we never see your device PIN or password).
2. How We Use Information
- Provide and operate the Service (host and stream User Content)
- Authenticate you, secure your account, and prevent fraud and abuse
- Improve features, personalize recommendations, and tune performance
- Send service notifications and (if you opt in) push alerts
- Enforce our Terms and comply with applicable law
- Detect and report child sexual abuse material to NCMEC and law enforcement as required by 18 U.S.C. §2258A
3. Legal Bases (EU/UK Users)
Where the GDPR applies we rely on: (a) contract — to deliver the Service you requested; (b) legitimate interests — operating, securing, and improving the Service; (c) consent — for push notifications and any optional analytics; (d) legal obligation — record-keeping, mandatory reporting, and responses to lawful requests.
5. Data Retention
We keep account info for as long as your account is active. User Content is retained while it remains posted; if you delete content, copies may remain in backups and cached copies for up to 30 days before being purged. Logs are kept up to 12 months. Records we are legally required to keep (e.g. mandatory reporting evidence) are retained for the period required by law.
6. Your Rights
Depending on where you live (EU/UK GDPR, California CCPA/CPRA, and similar laws), you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate information
- Delete your account and associated data
- Export your data in a portable format
- Object to or restrict certain processing
- Withdraw consent for processing based on consent
- Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority (EU/UK)
To exercise these rights email privacy@memories.brozy.org from the email associated with your account. We respond within 30 days. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
7. Children's Privacy
The Service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us information, contact privacy@memories.brozy.org and we will delete it promptly.
8. Security
We use industry-standard safeguards, including encryption in transit, secure authentication, hashed passwords, and access controls. No system is perfectly secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security. Report suspected vulnerabilities to security@memories.brozy.org.
9. International Transfers
Your information may be processed in countries where we or our service providers operate. By using the Service, you consent to this processing. Where required by law, we use standard contractual clauses or equivalent safeguards.
11. Do Not Track
We do not respond to "Do Not Track" browser signals because there is no agreed standard. We otherwise do not track you across third-party sites.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy. Material changes will be announced in the Service or by email. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
