Legal
Privacy Policy
At Social Monkey Memories, we prioritize the privacy and security of your event photos. This policy transparently outlines our data collection, facial recognition handling, and your rights as a user of our platform.
Last updated: March 2026
1. Our Commitment to Your Privacy
Privacy Overview
At Social Monkey Memories (memory.socialmonkey.club), we understand that your event photos and videos are deeply personal. This Privacy Policy is designed to clearly explain how we collect, process, and protect your data so your memories remain safe and private.
2. Information We Collect
Account & Authentication Data
When you log in or interact with the platform, we collect your authentication details (such as email address or social login profile) to verify your identity and manage secure gallery access.
User-Uploaded Media
We collect the photos, videos, and associated metadata (such as timestamps or device information) that you upload to event galleries to categorize and display them efficiently.
Facial Search Data
To power our 'People Search' functionality, our systems process images to detect and map faces. This allows users to quickly find all photos containing a specific person within an event.
Usage Analytics
We automatically collect standard usage data, such as IP addresses, browser types, and engagement metrics, to help us optimize the platform's performance and continuously improve your experience.
3. How We Use Your Information
Delivering the Experience
Your data is primarily used to provide core platform features: securely hosting media, authenticating access to specific event galleries, and enabling rapid facial search capabilities.
Platform Improvement
We analyze aggregated, anonymized usage trends to resolve technical issues, improve page load speeds, and develop new features that enhance the memory-sharing experience.
Communication
We may use your contact information to send you critical updates regarding your account, alert you of newly added photos to your subscribed events, or notify you of changes to our platform policies.
4. Data Sharing & Disclosure
Event Attendees & Admins
Photos and videos you upload are visible to other authorized attendees and the administrators/organizers of that specific event gallery.
Service Providers
We partner with trusted benchmark infrastructure providers (such as Amazon Web Services for cloud storage) to host our platform. These providers are strictly bound by confidentiality agreements.
Zero Data Selling
We deeply respect your privacy. We do not—and will not—sell, rent, or trade your personal data, photos, or facial analysis data to third-party marketers or data brokers.
5. Facial Recognition Privacy
Scope of Processing
Our facial recognition technology is sandboxed to individual events. We do not build cross-event biometric profiles or track your identity across the broader internet.
Opt-Out Requests
If you wish to be excluded from facial search results or have your detected face mappings removed from an event, you can contact our privacy team to initiate a prompt removal request.
6. Data Security & Retention
Security Measures
We employ industry-standard encryption, secure authentication flows, and strict access controls to relentlessly prevent unauthorized access to your media and personal data.
Data Lifespan
We retain event galleries and associated data for as long as the event organizer maintains an active subscription or agreement. You may request the deletion of your account and associated personal data at any time.
7. Your Privacy Rights
Control Over Your Data
You always have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, request corrections, or demand the deletion of your account and privately uploaded media.
