Privacy & safety

Memory Pebbles holds personal stories about children. We built it so that privacy is the default, not a setting you have to find.

No ads, no tracking

There is no advertising and no third-party tracking in the app or on this website. Your memories are never used for marketing.

Stored in the EU

All data – texts, photos, voice notes, videos and backups – is stored encrypted in the European Union (Frankfurt). Files are private and reachable only through short-lived links.

Location data removed

Before a photo is uploaded, its hidden metadata (such as GPS location) is removed. Videos are cleaned the same way.

Visibility enforced by the database

Who sees what is decided on the server, not just hidden in the app. Your child sees nothing before the handover, never sees “only mine” entries, and sees a sealed letter only on the day it opens.

Trusted contacts

Name up to five people you trust. If you don’t open the app for 3, 6 or 12 months (your choice), we warn you several times first. Only after that can a trusted contact get read-only access – and it ends the moment you come back. They never see letters or the welcome message.

Your data stays yours

Download the whole journal (texts and media) at any time, and delete your account with everything in it straight from the app.

Every sensitive step is logged

Opening the journal, the trusted-contact steps, exports and deletions are written to an audit log that cannot be changed.
