What we keep

If you enter the competition or add a memory: your first name, your email address, your photograph, and the location and time your camera recorded. If you buy something: your name, email, delivery address and what you ordered. If you order as a trade account: your business details and your Virginia ABC licence number. Nothing else.

Location

Precise coordinates stay on our server. Anything we publish is rounded or snapped to a public landmark, and every public image has its EXIF and XMP metadata stripped.

Who sees what

Photographs are visible to whoever uploaded them and to the people who were at that evening. Everyone else sees the engraving. We never publish that two people were near each other, and we never show follower counts, likes or a view of the whole network — those do not exist here.

Deleting

Deletion is real. Removing a memory removes the original file, every image derived from it, and the links to it, and queues the removal of anything published elsewhere that referenced it. Write to us and we will export or delete everything we hold about you. A removal request about a child is honoured within 48 hours.

Keeping records

Sales and tax records are kept for seven years because federal and Virginia law require at least three and two years respectively. Those records are separate from anything on the public site.
