No Targeted Advertising. Fika does not engage in targeted or interest-based advertising. We do not sell or share your Personal Information with advertising networks or use your information to serve personalized advertisements. Any analytics data we collect is used solely to understand how our Services are used and to improve them.

3. How Your Information May Be Used and Disclosed

If you submit or we collect Personal Information through our Services, such information may be used in the following ways:

  • to provide, administer, and improve our Services, including photo storage, sharing, and download functionality;

  • to create and manage your account, verify your identity and age eligibility, and authenticate your access to the Services;

  • to communicate with you in connection with your account or your use of the Services;

  • to process payments and manage subscriptions;

  • to understand how users access and use the Services, for research and analytical purposes, and to develop new features;

  • to protect our rights or property and to ensure the technical functionality and security of our Services; and

  • as required to meet our legal and regulatory obligations, including obligations related to the protection of minors.

We do not sell, lease, rent, or otherwise disclose your Personal Information to third parties for their own marketing or advertising purposes. We may disclose Personal Information as follows:

  • Vendors and Service Providers. We may disclose Personal Information to service providers who perform functions on our behalf, such as IT and website hosting, data storage, payment processing, analytics (including Google Analytics), security, and legal counsel. These providers are contractually obligated to use your information only as directed by us.

  • In the Event of Merger, Sale, or Change of Control. We may transfer or assign Personal Information to an entity that acquires us or our assets or is merged with us as part of a merger, acquisition, sale, or other change of control.

4. Information Security

No website or application can guarantee absolute security. We utilize commercially reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your Personal Information in compliance with applicable law. Access to Personal Information is limited to personnel and service providers who need access to perform their functions.

Given that our Services may involve Content that includes images of minors, we take additional measures to restrict access to Collections only to members of authorized Organizations, as managed by Admin Users. We strongly encourage Admin Users to exercise care in managing Organization membership and promptly removing access for any unauthorized individuals.

5. Third-Party Sites

Photographs of Children Under 13. Our Services are designed for use by organizations, including youth organizations, and accordingly Collections may contain photos and videos that depict individuals under the age of 13. The upload of such Content is subject to the following requirements:

  • The Admin User or any User uploading Content must obtain the prior consent of the parent or legal guardian of any minor depicted in such Content before uploading.

Users Between the Ages of 13 and 17

Users between the ages of 13 and 17 (“Minor Users”) may use the Services as Members or Viewers only, and only with the prior consent and ongoing supervision of a parent or legal guardian.

We encourage parents and guardians to monitor their child’s use of the Services. If you have questions or concerns about a Minor User’s account, please contact us.

7. Communications Opt-Out

We may send certain service-related messages, including account notifications and updates. If we send optional marketing or newsletter communications, all such messages will include instructions on how to opt out. Certain service-related messages (such as account status updates or security alerts) may be required for the functioning of the Services and will not have opt-out capabilities.

8. Information Retention

We retain your Personal Information only as long as necessary to provide you with our Services and for legitimate and essential business purposes, such as maintaining the performance of our Services, complying with our legal obligations, and resolving disputes.
