Effective Date: July 1, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Memora (“we”, “our”, or “us”) handles information when you use the Memora mobile application (the “App”). Memora is designed as a local-first photo indexing and memory-story rendering app.
Memora requests Photos library access so it can index assets, build recommendations, prepare story drafts, and render videos. The App may process photo metadata, thumbnails, image content, face-count signals, scene signals, quality signals, captions, and location/date information that is available through Apple’s Photos APIs.
Standard indexing, recommendations, search, story review, and video rendering run on the user’s device. Local app data such as indexes, generated stories, render jobs, preferences, checkpoints, diagnostics, and person profiles is stored strictly locally on your device in the App sandbox with SwiftData and related local storage. We do not have direct access to your local Photos library.
Memora utilizes Apple’s local Vision framework directly on your device to detect face features, face counts, and face bounding box coordinates. We are committed to complete transparency regarding facial analysis data. Below are detailed answers regarding how face data is handled:
Pro Vision AI is optional. If the user explicitly opts in and enables it, downscaled photo previews and related text context (such as scene tags, face count, capture time, and city/country) are transmitted securely to Memora Cloud and our configured third-party AI service provider, Ollama Cloud API, for caption generation. Original photo files and Exif metadata are never sent.
The service immediately deletes all image bytes after processing and does not retain them for product use, model training, or dataset creation. Operational records may be retained, including sanitized request metadata, generated caption text or provider response text, request identifiers, request status, quota counters, entitlement identifiers, device hashes, timestamps, and error details. These records are used for entitlement validation, quota enforcement, idempotency, debugging, security, fraud prevention, and abuse prevention.
We and Ollama Cloud API do not use the user’s photos or generated private photo metadata to train or fine-tune AI models.
In-app purchases are processed by Apple. We do not receive credit card or other payment details. To validate purchases and manage Pro Vision AI quota, the App and backend may process StoreKit transaction claims, product identifiers, entitlement status, quota usage, server-issued access tokens, and device hash values.
Memora may use Apple-provided diagnostics such as MetricKit to help identify crashes, hangs, launch issues, CPU exceptions, and disk-write issues. These diagnostics are intended for stability troubleshooting and do not include the user’s original photo files.
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards appropriate for a small application service, including Apple platform sandboxing, Keychain-backed app secrets where applicable, server-side entitlement checks, short-lived server tokens, request size validation, idempotency checks, and quota enforcement.
Operational backend records are retained only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described above, unless a longer period is required for legal, security, accounting, or dispute-resolution reasons.
Users can control Photos access in iOS or iPadOS Settings and choose whether to use Pro Vision AI. Disabling Photos access or Pro Vision AI may limit some App features.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the Effective Date and publishing the revised policy on this page.
