Introduction

Kodayak ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our web application and services for event photo sharing and collection.

Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and password. If you sign up using a third-party service (like Google), we receive your name and email from that service.

Event Information

When you create events, we collect event names, descriptions, dates, and customization preferences such as colors and welcome messages.

Photos and Media

We collect and store photos uploaded by event hosts and their guests. Photos may include metadata such as the time taken. Guest names are optionally collected when guests choose to provide them.

Usage Information

We automatically collect information about how you interact with our service, including pages visited, features used, and device information such as browser type and operating system.

How We Use Your Information

  • To provide and maintain our photo sharing service
  • To create and manage your account and events
  • To enable guests to upload photos to your events via QR codes
  • To send you service-related notifications and updates
  • To respond to your inquiries and provide customer support
  • To improve our service and develop new features
  • To detect and prevent fraud or abuse

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Your photos are stored securely in cloud storage with encryption. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Information Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

  • With your consent: When you explicitly agree to share information
  • Event participants: Photos uploaded to an event may be visible to the event host and, if enabled, other guests
  • Service providers: We use third-party services for hosting, storage, and analytics that may process your data on our behalf
  • Legal requirements: When required by law or to protect our rights

Data Retention

We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. Event photos are retained according to your subscription plan and event settings. You can delete your photos and events at any time through your dashboard. When you delete your account, we will delete your personal information within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal purposes.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of your personal information
  • Download your photos and event data
  • Object to certain processing of your information

Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to maintain your session, remember your preferences, and understand how you use our service. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though disabling them may affect the functionality of our service.

Children's Privacy

Our service is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
