- ·Relationship data — your relationship start date, memories, photos, and places you choose to add.

5. Your Partner
When you pair with a partner, both of you can view all shared memories, photos, and relationship data within the app. This is the core function of d8m8. By creating or joining a couple, you acknowledge that your partner will have access to everything you add.
We recommend only pairing with someone you trust.
6. Photos & Media
Photos you add to memories are uploaded to Firebase Storage and are accessible only to you and your paired partner. We do not scan, analyze, or use your photos for any purpose other than displaying them within the app.
7. Data Retention
Your data is retained for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, your data will be removed from our systems within 30 days. Some residual data may remain in backup systems for up to 90 days before being fully purged.

d8m8 is not intended for users under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal data, contact us and we will delete it promptly.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@d8m8.app. We'll respond within 30 days.
10. Security
We use industry-standard security measures including Firebase's built-in encryption at rest and in transit, and strict Firestore security rules that ensure only you and your partner can access your couple's data.
