Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 7, 2025

Hi there! 👋 This policy explains how we handle your data in 12 Months. We’ve tried to keep it simple and honest—your family’s memories are precious, and we treat them that way.

The short version: Your photos and memories belong to you. We don’t sell your data, we don’t show you ads, and we don’t use your baby photos for anything except showing them back to you. Simple as that.

📱What We Collect

Things you give us:

  • Your email, name, and optional profile photo when you sign up
  • Everything you add to your baby books—photos, milestones, measurements, memories
  • Messages if you chat with our support team

Things we collect automatically:

  • Basic device info (iOS version, app version) so we can help if something breaks
  • Push notification tokens if you want updates when family members add photos
  • Crash reports and usage analytics—but only if you opt in in Settings

🔧How We Use It

We use your data to:

  • Show you your baby books (obviously!)
  • Let you invite family to view or contribute
  • Send notifications when someone adds a photo or you get a support reply
  • Fix bugs and improve the app (with your permission)

🤝Who We Share With

We use a few services to make the app work:

ServiceWhat it does
Google Firebase Stores your data, handles login, sends notifications
Stream Powers our support chat
Resend Sends emails (verification, password reset)

We never: sell your data, share your photos with advertisers, or let third parties use your content for their own purposes.

🔒How We Protect It

  • All data is encrypted in transit and at rest
  • Only you and people you invite can see your baby books
  • Our admin access requires multi-factor authentication
  • We’re based in Sweden (EU) and take GDPR seriously

🗑️Data Retention

  • Your account & baby books: Kept as long as your account is active
  • Deleted data: 30-day recovery window, then permanently erased
  • Support chats: Auto-archived after 90 days of inactivity

✨Your Rights

You can always:

  • View, edit, or delete your data in the app
  • Export your baby book photos
  • Turn off analytics and crash reporting in Settings
  • Delete your entire account (Settings → Account → Delete Account)

EU users: You have full GDPR rights—access, correction, deletion, portability, the works. Just email us.

California users: You have CCPA rights too. We don’t sell personal info, so “opt out of sale” doesn’t apply to us.

👶A Note About Kids

This app is for parents to document their children—we don’t collect data directly from kids. All baby information is provided and controlled by the parent account holder.

🌍Where Your Data Lives

Your data is stored on Google Firebase servers in Europe. We’re an EU company (Sweden).

💬Questions?

We’re happy to explain anything about how we handle your data.
