Effective: January 1, 2025
Introduction
This Privacy and Cookie Policy (“Policy”) explains how RemembrLink collects, uses, shares, and protects your personal information when you use our websites, apps, and social media channels (together, the “Services”).
Please read this Policy carefully to understand how we handle your data and your rights. By using our Services, you agree to the practices described here. We may update this Policy from time to time, and the “Effective” date above shows when it was last revised. Continued use of our Services after updates means you accept the revised Policy.
Our Services are intended for users in the United States. We do not market or sell directly to individuals in Canada, the European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland, or the United Kingdom.

When no longer needed, data is deleted, anonymized, or archived securely.
8. Security of Your Personal Data
We use safeguards such as encryption, secure servers, and limited access. No system is fully secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute protection. You should use strong passwords, keep them private, and log out on shared devices. We will notify you of breaches as required by law.
9. Children’s Privacy
Our Services are not for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from them. If we learn that a child under 13 shared data without parental consent, we will delete it. Parents may contact us to request removal.
