Privacy Policy

How Memoir handles your data

Overview

Memoir is a client-side web application. All processing occurs locally in your browser. No data is transmitted to or stored on any Memoir server, because no Memoir server exists.

Local Files

When you select images from your local device, those files are accessed directly by your browser using standard web APIs. They are never uploaded anywhere. They exist only in your browser's memory for the duration of your session.

Google Drive & Google Photos

When you connect Google Drive or Google Photos, Memoir requests read-only access to your files. Specifically:

• Memoir requests an OAuth access token from Google using your browser directly
• That token is stored only in your browser's memory and is never sent to any Memoir server
• The token is used solely to fetch image files from your Google account for display
• Images are loaded into your browser's memory and displayed. They are never stored or transmitted elsewhere
• Memoir does not read any files other than those you explicitly select. It does not modify or delete any files
• When you close the browser tab, all tokens and image data are discarded

Memoir's use of Google APIs is governed by the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Microsoft OneDrive

When you connect OneDrive, Memoir uses Microsoft's MSAL library to authenticate. The access token is stored in your browser's session storage and is never sent to any Memoir server. Images are fetched directly from OneDrive to your browser for display only.

Unsplash Demo Images

Demo slideshows use images from Unsplash. When you view a demo, your browser makes requests directly to Unsplash's CDN. Unsplash's own privacy policy applies to those requests. Attribution links include UTM parameters identifying Memoir as the referrer, as required by Unsplash's guidelines.

What Memoir Does Not Do

• Does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data
• Does not use cookies or tracking technologies
• Does not display advertisements
• Does not share any information with third parties beyond what is necessary to authenticate with Google or Microsoft
• Does not retain any OAuth tokens between sessions
