Personal Information: When you sign up or interact with our services, we may collect your name, phone number, email address, and other personal details.
SMS Data: We collect and store SMS messages you send to us, including any photos submitted via SMS. However, using the website alone does not constitute consent to receive SMS messages—you must opt in separately.
Photo Uploads: We collect and store photos you upload to the website. Some photos may be public, while others may be private based on your selection.
Location Data: We may occasionally collect location data if you grant us permission through your device settings.
Device and Usage Information: We automatically collect certain data about your device, browser, and interactions with the website, including IP addresses, cookies, and activity logs.

Send marketing and other automated SMS messages, but only if you have separately opted in.
Improve security, monitor website usage, and prevent fraud.
Analyze trends and optimize user experiences.

4. Photo Privacy and Access

Public Photos: If you choose to make your photos public, they may be viewed by other users and indexed by search engines.
Private Photos: Private photos will not be publicly displayed but may still be accessible to administrators for moderation and compliance purposes.
SMS-Submitted Photos: Photos submitted via SMS are automatically added to collections as specified in our service.
User-Generated Content Rights: By uploading or submitting photos, you retain ownership of your content. However, you grant Mems.Social a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, display, and distribute your photos within the platform and related promotional materials.

5. SMS Communications

SMS communications are used for two primary purposes: (1) marketing messages, and (2) allowing users to submit content, such as photos, via SMS.
By opting into SMS messages, you agree to receive recurring messages related to promotions, updates, and other service-related communications.
Standard message and data rates may apply. Check with your carrier for details.
You can opt out of marketing messages at any time by replying STOP to any SMS message. For assistance, reply HELP.

To comply with legal obligations, such as responding to law enforcement requests or protecting our rights and users.
With third-party integrations that you choose to connect with Mems.Social.
During business transactions, such as a merger, acquisition, or asset sale.

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve user experience and analyze website performance. You may control cookie preferences through your browser settings.

8. Data Security We implement reasonable measures to protect your data, but no system is completely secure. Please use strong passwords and safeguard your personal information.

9. Data Retention We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes. You may request data deletion at any time.
