We collect the following categories of personal data: Account data: your name, email address, username, and profile photo (if uploaded).

Your video capsules are stored encrypted at rest in Google Cloud Storage.

We do not view, analyze, or process the content of your capsules except as technically required to store and deliver them. The recipient cannot access the video content before the designated unlock date. Please note that, as with any digital content, we cannot technically prevent a recipient from recording their screen or otherwise capturing the video once it has been unlocked and is being played. We encourage users to share capsules only with people they trust.

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account: • Your account data and capsule metadata in Firestore are deleted within 30 days. • Your video files in Google Cloud Storage are deleted within 30 days. • Anonymized, aggregated analytics data may be retained longer for statistical purposes. • Certain data may be retained longer if required by law.
