Privacy policy

Who operates Tuck

Tuck is operated by 2618991 Ontario Inc., an Ontario corporation. In this policy, “Tuck,” “we,” and “us” refer to 2618991 Ontario Inc. when it operates the Tuck service.

What Tuck collects

Tuck may collect phone numbers, email addresses, family and child names, child birthdays or ages when provided, message content, photos, MMS voice notes, transcripts, saved memories, memory summaries, tags, digest preferences, opt-in and opt-out records, basic billing details, and technical logs needed to operate the service. Most of this is information families choose to send to Tuck.

How Tuck uses information

Tuck uses family information to capture memories, respond to messages, ask useful follow-up questions, organize memories by child and theme, create private digests and keepsakes, manage subscriptions and billing, provide support, prevent abuse, respect quiet hours and opt-outs, and keep the service reliable. Tuck does not use family content for advertising.

Text messages and mobile information

Tuck communicates with families mainly through the Tuck Moments recurring SMS and MMS program. When you provide your mobile number and opt in on tuckmoments.com, you agree to receive recurring automated text messages from Tuck Moments, such as saved-memory confirmations, follow-up questions, account messages, check-ins, and recap notifications. Consent is not a condition of any purchase. Message frequency varies, and message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP at any time to unsubscribe, or HELP for help.

During website or ad signup, Tuck may ask for your mobile number and text-message consent before checkout. Tuck stores that limited contact and consent record so it can connect a completed payment to the correct private text line. If checkout is not completed, Tuck does not text the number and removes the number, country, and consent record within 48 hours. Tuck does not keep these unpaid signup numbers as a marketing list.

Tuck does not share or sell your mobile phone number, your SMS opt-in, or your consent information with any third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes. Phone numbers and message content are shared only with the service providers that help operate Tuck’s messaging, such as our telecommunications provider, and only to deliver the service to your family.

AI processing

Tuck uses AI services from Microsoft Azure and OpenAI through their APIs to transcribe, summarize, classify, search, illustrate, and respond to family memories. These services process the messages, photos, audio, transcripts, and other family information needed for those tasks. The original message, note, quote, media, or transcript is preserved separately from any AI-generated summary, tag, or illustration.

Tuck does not use your family content to train AI models. Microsoft Azure and OpenAI do not use the family content that Tuck sends through their APIs to train their models under the API data protections Tuck uses. Tuck does not opt in to sharing this content for model training.

AI providers may retain data needed to run a feature, prevent abuse, or meet legal requirements, depending on the service and its settings. Authorized provider personnel may review content for safety, security, or abuse investigations. These activities are separate from model training.

Voice notes and transcription

When a family sends an MMS voice note, Tuck copies the audio into Tuck storage and transcribes it so the moment can be saved and returned. Voice-note audio and transcripts are treated as private family content. Tuck does not use voice recordings to create voiceprints or other biometric identifiers, and does not use them to identify people. Tuck does not accept inbound live calls or place outbound live calls.

If a family archive contains a historical voice_call or voicemail capture from an earlier product version, it remains private family content and is included in the same export and deletion-request process as other captures.

Payment information

Subscriptions are processed by a third-party payment processor. That processor handles your card details under its own terms and privacy policy; Tuck receives limited information such as billing status and the last digits of a card, and does not store full card numbers.

Give Tuck

When someone buys a gift, Tuck collects the buyer’s name and email, the recipient’s email and service region, any optional gift message, and the payment and gift records needed to deliver and support it. The gift email names the buyer. An optional message appears in the email body and private gift page. We use the recipient’s email to send that requested invitation; receiving a gift does not enroll them in marketing emails or recurring texts. The recipient chooses their own communication settings during setup.

The buyer can receive their payment receipt and the gift email delivery status. Buying a gift does not give access to the recipient’s family memories, chapters, or private account. Private gift and phone-confirmation pages do not load marketing tracking or session replay. Gift support and refund requests are handled through tuck@tuckmoments.com.

If you choose Google address search on the private book shipping form, Google receives your search text and standard connection data, such as your IP address. You can enter your address without Google search. Check the full address before you confirm it. Tuck stores the address you confirm to arrange book delivery. See Google’s Privacy Policy.

Service providers

Tuck uses service providers for messaging, email, hosting, database storage, media processing, AI processing, payments, logging, and operations. These providers process information to support the service and under obligations of confidentiality and security. They may also process information to prevent abuse and meet legal requirements.

Authorized Tuck personnel and service-provider personnel may access family information when needed to provide support, operate or repair the service, investigate safety or security issues, or meet legal obligations. Private family content is not public content, but it is not restricted to access by your family alone.

Where information is processed

Tuck and its providers may process and store information in the United States and other countries where they operate. Processing locations depend on the provider and service used. Laws in those countries may differ from the laws where you live.

Advertising and sale of data

Tuck does not sell or rent family memories, does not share family content for cross-context behavioral advertising, does not build an ad-targeting profile from family content, and does not run a public social graph.

Children’s information

Tuck is a service for parents, guardians, and trusted adult caregivers — not for children. Tuck is not directed to children, and children should not use Tuck or send content to it directly. Information about a child in Tuck is provided by the adults in that family, as private family content, and is used only to capture and return that family’s own memories.

Tuck does not knowingly collect personal information directly from a child under 13. If you believe a child has contacted Tuck directly, or you want a child’s information reviewed or removed, email tuck@tuckmoments.com and we will address it.

Security

Tuck uses reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect family information, including encrypted web connections and access controls. SMS and MMS are not end-to-end encrypted. Mobile carriers and messaging providers, including Twilio, process the messages you send to and receive from Tuck. Copies can also remain on phones or in device backups. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Retention, export, and deletion

Tuck keeps memories and account records while a family uses the service. Family owners and admins can sign in through Parent login and open the Family page to export family data or delete the family account. The export includes current family records and available original attachments. Individual memory and attachment deletion controls are also available to authorized family members.

You can also request access, correction, export, or deletion by emailing tuck@tuckmoments.com. Tell us which account and information your request concerns. We may need to verify your identity and authority before we provide family data or delete it. We will explain any limits that apply to your request.

When family deletion takes effect, access to the family account ends, further messages from Tuck stop, and permanent cleanup begins. Some limited records may remain when needed for security, legal, billing, audit, or messaging-compliance purposes. We also keep limited deletion records to prevent deleted data from returning after a backup restore.

Deletion from active systems does not immediately remove backup copies. Our backup retention schedule keeps daily database backups for 35 days and schedules deleted media backup copies for removal after 35 days. Automatic backup cleanup can finish after that retention period. These backup periods are separate from the time needed to verify and process a deletion request. Copies that other people have already received or downloaded are outside Tuck’s deletion controls.

Your choices and rights

You can opt out of texts at any time by replying STOP and adjust digest and check-in preferences. Stopping texts does not delete information already saved in Tuck. You can make the privacy requests described above wherever you live. You may also have rights under the privacy laws that apply to you. To make a request, email tuck@tuckmoments.com.

Private sharing

Tuck is private by default. Family owners and admins can view and manage the family archive, manage family access, and export or delete family data. Contributors can add memories but do not receive access to the family dashboard or full archive through that role. Recap-only recipients receive the recaps shared with them by email; that role does not give them dashboard access or permission to text memories to Tuck.

Owners and admins can revoke member access and remove recap recipients within their permissions. An admin cannot revoke the owner’s access. Revoking access stops future use of that access, but does not remove memories the person already contributed. Removing access or deleting content from Tuck cannot erase emails, downloads, screenshots, or other copies already held by recipients. Treat any recap or share link you forward as access to the content it contains.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date, and we will notify you directly (by text or email) before they take effect, with time to export or delete your family’s content first.
