Our Commitment to Your Privacy

This Privacy Policy applies to all websites and services owned and operated by Famlu Inc. We are committed to protecting your privacy and the privacy of your family. Your trust is essential to our mission of helping families stay connected in a safe, private environment.

What Makes Us Different

Unlike social media platforms that profit from your data, we make money from subscriptions, not advertising. This means we have no incentive to collect unnecessary information or share your data with third parties.

Information We Collect

Personal Information

To provide our family networking service, we collect:

  • Name and email address - For account creation and communication
  • Date of birth - To ensure appropriate features and content
  • Username and password - For secure account access
  • Family content - Photos, messages, calendar events, and other content you choose to share
  • Payment information - For processing subscriptions (handled securely by our payment processors)

Automatically Collected Information

We collect minimal technical information to improve our service, including basic usage statistics, device information, and error logs. We do not track your browsing across other websites.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information solely to:

  • Provide and improve our family networking service
  • Process transactions and manage your subscription
  • Send important service updates and security notifications
  • Provide customer support when you contact us
  • Ensure the security and integrity of our platform

Marketing Communications

We may send occasional emails about new features or important updates. You can opt out at any time using the unsubscribe link in any email or by contacting us directly.

Information Protection & Security

We protect your information through:

  • SSL encryption - All communications between your device and our servers are encrypted
  • Secure databases - Your data is stored in secure, access-controlled databases
  • Regular security audits - We continuously monitor and improve our security measures
  • Limited access - Only authorized personnel can access user data, and only when necessary

Information Sharing

What We Don't Do

  • We do not sell your personal information to anyone
  • We do not share your data with advertisers
  • We do not use your content for advertising purposes

Limited Sharing

  • Aggregated data - We may share anonymized, non-identifying statistics about our service

Children's Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If a child under 13 is invited to join a family network, the inviting family member is responsible for monitoring the child's participation and ensuring appropriate privacy settings.
