Privacy Policy
Last updated July 2, 2026
The short version: we collect the minimum needed to run a memorial site, which means your email, your pages, and your photos. No ads, no analytics trackers, no selling data, ever. Your memories are not a product.
What we collect
Your account. Your email address and display name. Sign-in is by emailed magic link or passkey; if you add a passkey, we store its public key (the secret half never leaves your device).
Your content. The memorial pages you create, the photos you upload, and the guestbook messages you write. We process and store photos on our own server rather than handing them to a third-party photo service.
Sign-in sessions. When you’re signed in, we keep a session record that includes your IP address and browser type. This is purely so you can spot (and we can stop) a sign-in that isn’t you.
Anonymous visits. If you leave a reaction or guestbook message without an account, we set a random token in a cookie so you can edit or remove what you wrote, and so one candle doesn’t become forty. It identifies your browser, not you.
Reports. If you report content, we keep the report and, only if you choose to give it, a way to contact you about it.
What we don’t collect
No advertising, no third-party analytics, no tracking pixels, no fingerprinting, no data brokers. We don’t sell or rent anything to anyone. We will never put an ad in the family album.
We email you sign-in links and, if you’ve left them on, gentle notes when someone signs a guestbook or leaves a reaction on one of your pages. Every notification email has a one-click unsubscribe, and you can tune notifications per page or turn them all off in your account settings.
Cookies
Three, all first-party and boring: a session cookie that keeps you signed in, the anonymous-visitor token described above, and your light/dark theme choice (which lives in your browser and never leaves it). That’s the whole jar.
Third parties
Just one: emails are delivered through our mail provider (they handle your address the way any postal service handles an envelope). Everything else (database, photos, pages, even the fonts) lives on servers we run. Nothing on this site phones home to anyone.
Who can see what
You control each page’s visibility: public, unlisted (only people with the share link), or private (just you). Your email address is never shown publicly. Guestbook messages show the name you signed them with.
Keeping and deleting
We keep your content until you delete it. Deleting a page removes its photos, reactions, and guestbook too. If you delete your whole account (email us at trevor@sqweekylove.com), your pages and everything on them go with it. One small exception: guestbook messages you left on someone else’s page stay on that page, since they’re part of someone’s memorial, but they’re unlinked from your account. Ask us and we’ll remove those too.
Children
Sqweeky Love isn’t directed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect their information. If a kid wants to remember their pet here, a grown-up should make the page with them.
Changes and questions
If this policy changes meaningfully, we’ll update the date above and note it on the site. Questions, worries, deletion requests: trevor@sqweekylove.com. See also our Terms of Service.
