Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Cheers ("Cheers", "we", "us") is a shared photo album app for events, available on iOS, Android and the web at clycyo.com/cheers. It is developed and operated by Christian Braglia, the data controller. Contact: christian.braglia12@gmail.com.

2. What we collect

• Account data. When you open Cheers we create an account for you: an anonymous guest ID, or the account you sign in with (Sign in with Apple or Google). With Apple or Google we receive your name and email address as shared by that provider.
• Profile. The display name you choose, shown to the other members of your events next to your photos.
• Events. Events you create (name, date, place, occasion, cover, settings) and the events you join.
• Photos. Photos you add, with an optional caption, the time you added them and their size. Photos are resized to at most 2048 pixels before upload. We do not read location or other metadata from your photos.
• Favorites and reports. Photos you mark as favorites and photos you report to a host.
• Purchases. The event passes you bought (and for which event) and whether you have Cheers Pro. Payments are processed by Apple, Google or our web payment provider; we never receive your card details.

If you choose to leave your email after adding a photo, we keep it with that event only to send you the finished album. It is optional and other guests cannot see it.

3. Why we use it

• To run the shared albums: show each event, its members and photos to the people who joined it.
• To let hosts manage their events (downloads, approval, removal).
• To provide and verify Cheers Pro.
• To keep Cheers safe, for example by reviewing reported photos.

Legal basis: performance of our contract with you (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)) and our legitimate interest in keeping the service secure (Art. 6(1)(f)).

4. Who can see your photos

Only members of the event you added them to: people who joined with the event's link or code. Albums are not public, not listed and not indexed by search engines. If the host turned on approval, your photos are visible only to you and the host until approved. Members may download photos if the host allows downloads.

5. Service providers

• Supabase (database, authentication and photo storage; servers in the European Union, Frankfurt).
• RevenueCat (subscription status).
• Apple and Google (sign-in and in-app purchases).
• Our web host in the European Union, for this website and the web app.

We do not sell your data or share it with data brokers, and your photos are never used for advertising. There are no third-party analytics or advertising SDKs in the iOS and Android apps.

5b. Cookies on the website

On clycyo.com/cheers and the web app we use the Google Ads tag (Google Ireland Ltd.) only to measure which of our ads bring people to Cheers and whether they then sign up, create an event or buy a pass. These advertising cookies are set only if you tap "Accept" in the cookie banner (Google Consent Mode); if you decline, Google receives only anonymous, cookieless signals. Legal basis: your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)). We also keep, in your browser, a random visitor ID for our own anonymous statistics, your language and your cookie choice. You can change your choice at any time: cookie preferences. See also how Google uses data from advertising.

6. How long we keep it

Your account and content are kept while you use Cheers. Photos you remove are deleted from storage. When a host deletes an event, its photos are deleted. Each album has a keep-until date, shown in the event: 6 months after the event for free events, 1 year for paid ones. After that date its photos and videos are deleted; hosts are told at least 30 days before. When you delete your account, your profile, the events you host and the photos you added are deleted.

7. Your rights

You can access, correct, export or delete your data, object to or restrict processing, and complain to your data protection authority (in Italy, the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali). Delete your account in the app (Settings → Delete account) or see how to delete your account. For anything else write to christian.braglia12@gmail.com.

8. Children

Cheers is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country) and they should not create an account. Hosts are responsible for the photos shared in their events, including photos of minors at family events.

9. Changes

We will post any change here and update the date below. Material changes will also be announced in the app.
