2. The Service We Provide
MOLO is a family organisation application, accessible via a website portal (wearemolo.com) and a mobile app available from the Apple App Store and Google Play. The Service helps families manage their shared calendar, events, tasks and reminders. Our current launch feature allows you to upload PDF or image files (for example, screenshots of emails or WhatsApp messages containing school letters, sports fixtures or activity information) into the MOLO app. We then extract the relevant information and convert it into calendar events in your MOLO family calendar. This avoids you having to manually enter dates and details. This Privacy Policy applies to the Service as it currently exists. We will update it before introducing new features that affect how we process your data.
3. What Personal Data We Collect

When you register and use the Service, you provide us with:

- Content you upload to extract calendar events- this may include PDF files or images of letters, schedules, or messages
- Calendar events, tasks and reminders you create or edit within the Service
- Payment information if you subscribe to a Paid Plan- this is handled directly by Apple App Store or Google Play; we do not store your card details
3.2 Information about children
The Service is designed to help families organise activities that may involve children. You may choose to add details about your children's activities (for example, a school sports fixture), but we do not require or ask you to create separate accounts for children. Any information about your children that appears in content you upload is processed solely for the purpose of extracting and creating the relevant calendar event.You must be at least 18 years old to create an account. The Service is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect personal data directly from children.

4.1 Processing your uploaded files
When you upload a PDF or image file to extract calendar events, we process the content of that file to identify and extract date, time, and event information. This processing takes place automatically. We do not use the content of your uploaded files for any purpose other than extracting calendar events for you, and we do not use it to train artificial intelligence or machine learning models.
Where Uploaded files are not attached to an event, they are deleted from our systems within 30 days of upload, or sooner once extraction is complete. Where they are required to exist as source documents for events, they will remain in our systems for as long as the event is “active”.
5. How We Share Your Data
We do not sell your personal data. We do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.We may share your data with the following categories of third parties, in each case only to the extent necessary:
Cloud hosting and storage: Technology and infrastructure providers. We use Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Supabase, both hosted in the EU, to run the Service and store your data. These providers act as data processors on our behalf and are contractually bound to process your data only on our instructions and in accordance with UK GDPR requirements.
Account security: Authentication services. Supabase keeps a record of sign-in IP addresses for 7 days, and stores account information until the user requests deletion.
Crash reporting and diagnostics: We use Sentry (hosted in the EU) to identify and fix technical issues. Crash data, including device identifiers, is kept for up to 90 days.
Payment processing: Payments for Paid Plans are handled directly by the Apple App Store or Google Play, depending on the device you use, under their own terms. We do not receive, process, or store your card or payment details.
Email delivery: We use a third-party email service provider (Sendgrid) to send you account and service communications. Your name, email address, external event invitees, and event details are shared with them for this purpose only.
Product analytics: We use PostHog (hosted in the EU) to understand how the app is used and improve it over time. This includes information like which screens are visited, which features are used, and basic device details such as device type and operating system. We do not store IP addresses. Session recordings are kept for 30 days, after which they are automatically deleted. Other analytics data is kept for as long as your account is active, or until you request deletion.
Generative AI features: We use Google Cloud's Vertex AI (Model Garden) to power certain features within the app. Prompts, contextual information, and model outputs are processed solely to deliver these features and are not shared with any other third parties. Google does not use this data to train or improve its models. We take a data minimisation approach: only limited information is shared with the model, such as event details (for example, locations and class names) and MOLO-generated user identifiers. We do not share children's personal information with these services.In some cases, we use globally available models, which means processing may take place in any Google Cloud region. As soon as EU-hosted versions of these models become available to us, we will migrate with our best endeavours.
Legal and regulatory authorities: We may disclose your data where required by law, in response to a court order, or where we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to protect the safety of our users or the public.
Business transfers: If MOLO App Ltd is subject to a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your personal data may transfer to the acquiring entity. We will notify you before this happens and the commitments in this Privacy Policy will continue to apply.
6. International Transfers
Some of our third-party service providers may process your data outside the United Kingdom. Where this occurs, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, including UK-approved Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision by the UK Secretary of State, to ensure your data receives the same level of protection as it does under UK law.
7. How Long We Keep Your Data
Account data is retained for as long as you have an account with us, and for up to 30 days after account closure to allow you to export your data. After this period it is deleted, unless we are required by law to retain it longer.
Uploaded files used for calendar event extraction are deleted within 30 days of upload. Where they are required to exist as source documents for events, they will remain in our systems for as long as the event is “active”.
Calendar events, tasks and reminders you have created are deleted when you close your account (subject to the 30-day export window above).
Payment records may be retained for up to 7 years for tax and legal compliance purposes.
Technical and diagnostic data (logs, crash reports) is retained for up to 90 days.
