What we process and why
The app
- Account: your name, email address and a user ID. You sign in with Apple, with Google or with a code we email you. Legal basis: our contract with you (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).
- Your album: your family members and their roles, your child’s first name, date of birth and language, the photos, videos, voice recordings and texts you add, and the pages and films made from them. Legal basis: contract.
- Invitations and QR codes in printed books, so only the people you allow can see your album. Legal basis: contract.
- Purchases: your subscription, free trial, book credit and book orders. We never see card details. Legal basis: contract, and keeping records as tax law requires (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR).
- Notifications: a device token from Apple. Legal basis: contract.
- Pip and AI, calendar: only with your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time under Settings → Privacy and AI. The AI sees only the photos, clips and texts needed for a task; it does not keep them or learn from them. Pip keeps short notes from your conversations, which you can see and delete in the app. Pip does not recognise faces.
- Problem reports, crash reports and usage events without person profiles and without your content. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in a working, secure app (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
minily.app and the waitlist
- Visiting minily.app: our host processes technical data such as your IP address to deliver the site and protect it. We set no cookies. We count visits and sign-ups on our server, without your IP address or email. Legal basis: legitimate interest.
- Waitlist: your email address, language, time of sign-up and confirmation, the emails we sent you, the link you came from, your invite code and who invited you. We email you when minily is available and, until then, at most once a week. Legal basis: your consent; for the proof of consent and the link you came from, legitimate interest.
- Your baby’s age and Android: only if you tap it in our email. “Not born yet” is health data; we store it only with your explicit consent (Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR).
- Invite reward: one month of minily Premium free for each family that joins through your link and confirms, up to three months, redeemable once minily is available. It lapses if you unsubscribe before then, has no cash value and cannot be transferred. Legal basis: contract.
- Links in our emails carry a tag for that email, not for you. We do not track whether you open an email. Legal basis: legitimate interest.
- Messages to us and App Store reviews of three stars or fewer are kept with your address or App Store nickname in our ticket system, so we can answer. Legal basis: legitimate interest.
You do not have to give us any data, but without it we cannot provide the app or put you on the waitlist.
Who receives data
Service providers that work only on our instructions under a data processing agreement (Art. 28 GDPR): hosting, database, storage and AI (data stored in the EU), sending emails, our email inbox, usage measurement (stored in the EU), subscription management, our ticket system and an encrypted backup in Germany. They must protect your data as described here. Email us for a list of them.
Under their own privacy policies: Apple (Sign in with Apple, App Store, notifications), Google (Sign in with Google, if you choose it) and our print partner Peecho B.V., the Netherlands, which runs the book checkout, printing and delivery. You give your delivery address and payment details directly to Peecho.
Data outside the EU
We and most of our providers are in the USA. Transfers rely on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework (Art. 45 GDPR) or the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR). Email us for a copy.
How long we keep data
- Your album and app data: as long as your account exists. Deleted moments stay in the trash for 30 days.
- Data packages from “Download all data”: 48 hours.
- Records of purchases and orders: as long as tax law requires.
- Our record of AI requests (without content): 90 days. Crash reports and usage data: 12 months.
- Unconfirmed waitlist sign-ups: 7 days. The waitlist: until you unsubscribe, at the latest three months after minily launches on the iPhone (for the Android group, after the Android launch).
- Messages and tickets: as long as the conversation needs.
- Backups: what you delete is gone from our backups within 30 days.
Delete your data
You can download your data and delete your account in the app. If you created the album, you choose whether to hand it over to another adult or delete it for everyone. Deleting the app alone does not delete your account or cancel a subscription. Every waitlist email has an unsubscribe link; we then delete your entry right away.
Children
Accounts are for adults of 18 or older. Children do not use the app. Your child’s details are added by you, are never public and are never used for advertising.
Your rights
You can ask for access to your data, have it corrected, deleted or restricted, get a copy, withdraw your consent at any time and object to processing based on our legitimate interest (Art. 7(3) and 15–21 GDPR). You can complain to a data protection authority (Art. 77 GDPR). We make no automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects (Art. 22 GDPR). If you live in a US state with its own privacy law, you have the same rights; we do not sell or share personal information. Just email hello@minily.app.
Changes
If this policy changes, we update the date at the top. If a change matters to you, we tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect.
