Terms of Use

Your rights
Under the GDPR you have rights including access (Art. 15), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction (Art. 18), portability (Art. 20), and objection (Art. 21). You may withdraw consent (e.g. for web analytics) at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal. How to exercise your rights: • Email privacy@getnestory.app • Delete account: in the app under Your nest → Account → Delete account (two confirmations) • Export data: in the app under Your nest → Contact → Request to export data You may lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, e.g. the German Federal Commissioner for Data Protection. We will respond to your request within 30 days.
Retention
We keep account data while your account is active. When you delete your account, personal data is removed; backup copies may persist briefly before being overwritten.
Security
We use technical and organizational measures to protect your data. Processing is primarily in the EU (Frankfurt). No system is 100% secure — only transmit sensitive data on networks you trust.
Children
Nestory is intended for parents and guardians. Accounts are for people aged 18+. Photos of children are uploaded by family members; you are responsible for having the necessary consent.
International transfers
Processing is primarily in the EU. If a sub-processor outside the EU is used, this happens only with appropriate safeguards (e.g. standard contractual clauses) where required.

We may update this privacy policy. The date at the top shows the last revision. Material changes will be communicated appropriately.
