MemoryFox Privacy Policy
Effective Date: September 30, 2026
MemoryFox, Inc. (“MemoryFox,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) provides a software platform that helps organizations collect, organize, manage, create, and share photos, videos, testimonials, written stories, and related information.
This Privacy Policy explains how MemoryFox collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information when you visit our websites, create or use a MemoryFox account, interact with us, or submit information through the MemoryFox platform.
This Privacy Policy applies to information MemoryFox processes for its own business purposes. When an organization uses MemoryFox to collect or manage information about its employees, volunteers, donors, clients, alumni, program participants, beneficiaries, community members, or other contributors, that organization generally determines how and why that information is used. In those circumstances, MemoryFox processes the information on behalf of that organization as a service provider or processor.

- names and contact information;
- demographic or other information requested by the organization collecting the submission; and
- metadata associated with submitted materials.
We refer to these materials collectively as Customer Content.
The MemoryFox customer using the platform determines what information it requests from contributors and how that information will be used.
If you submit information through a MemoryFox collection experience created by another organization, questions about how that organization uses your information should generally be directed to that organization.

Our customers are responsible for determining:

- what consent or authorization is required;
- how they use submitted materials; and
- how long they retain or publish those materials.
MemoryFox provides tools that can help customers collect and track consent, but customers remain responsible for determining the consent, authorization, or lawful basis appropriate to their particular activities.
4. Contributors
You may interact with MemoryFox because an organization invited you to submit a photograph, video, testimonial, story, or other information.
In those circumstances, the organization that requested your submission generally controls how the information is used.
MemoryFox processes the information as necessary to provide services to that organization.
If you want to:
- understand why information was collected;
- change or withdraw consent;
- request deletion of submitted materials;

you should generally contact the organization that collected the submission.
