Fabled Events keeps an event's photos and messages private to the people invited to it. This page says what we store, why, who helps us run the service, and when it's deleted.

The short version
- Only people with your event’s link (and PIN, if you set one) can see its memories.
- No selling data, and no analytics on event pages or galleries.
- Your photos are never used to train AI, and we don’t run face recognition.
- Guests don’t need an account, and we don’t ask for their contact details.
- Galleries are deleted on a schedule you can see, and you can delete sooner.
What we store
Fabled Events is run by Fabled Software LLC, a Florida limited liability company. “We” and “us” on this page mean that company, which is responsible for the information described here.
Organizers. Your email address, how you signed in (Google or an emailed code), and, if you add them, a display name and profile picture. For each event: its name, date, link, schedule, style, and settings. A guest PIN is stored only as a one-way hash, so not even we can read it.
Guests. A random, anonymous ID for your browser, so you can come back without signing in and delete your own uploads. The name you give, if any, is shown beside what you share. Then whatever you add: photos, videos, voice messages, notes, drawings, song picks, comments, and likes. We never ask guests for an email address or phone number.
Photos and videos are kept exactly as uploaded. They can carry details your camera saved in them, such as when and where they were taken, and anyone in the event who downloads the original gets those too. We also make smaller copies for the gallery and, for videos, versions that stream on any device.
Payments. Stripe handles checkout. We never see or store your card number; we keep the order’s ID, amount, email, and status, and whether it was refunded.
Support and email. Messages you send us, and a record of the emails we send you (sign-in codes, setup links, and reminders before a gallery closes).
Technical data. Our hosting provider records standard request logs (such as IP address, browser, and time) to keep the service running and to stop abuse, like repeated wrong PINs.
How we use it
Only to run Fabled Events:
- to show each event’s gallery to the people in it, and let them add to it and download it;
- to sign organizers in, take payment, and send the emails a plan includes;
- to answer support messages;
- to keep the service secure and stop abuse;
- to keep the records tax and accounting law require.
We don’t sell or rent personal information, show ads, or share your content with anyone outside the event. We don’t use your photos or messages to train AI models, and we don’t run face recognition on them.
Signing in with Google
Organizers can sign in with Google, and guests can too if they want to keep their uploads across devices. We ask Google only for the basics, never access to your Gmail, Drive, contacts, or calendar:
- What we get: your Google account’s email address, name, and an ID that tells us it’s the same account next time. Google also offers your profile picture; we don’t keep it.
- How we use it: only to create your account, sign you in, and start your display name, which you can change.
- How it’s stored and shared: in your account on Google Cloud and Firebase, with everything else, encrypted. We never sell it, use it for ads, or share it with anyone except the companies that run the service for us, listed below.
- Deleting it: ask us to delete your account and we remove it. You can also cut off our access any time from your Google account’s third-party connections.
Our use of information received from Google follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
Who can see an event
Anyone with the event’s link can open it, and its PIN too if the organizer set one. Event pages are kept out of search engines, so a gallery can’t be found by searching for it. A gallery is only as private as its link: anyone a guest passes it to can open it too, so it isn’t the place for anything that would cause harm if someone outside the event saw it.
The organizer decides who gets the link, can see and remove anything in the event, and can download all of it. Guests can delete what they uploaded. We store an event’s memories for its organizer; if you’re a guest and want something of yours removed, ask the organizer, or write to us.
We look at an event’s content only when its organizer asks us to (to fix a problem, say), to deal with a report of abuse, to review an event whose uploads go far beyond what an event like it would normally have (see our terms), or when the law requires it.
Who helps us run it
Everything is stored in the United States, on Google Cloud. These companies process data for us, only to provide the service, under their own privacy and security commitments:
- Google Cloud and FirebaseHosting, sign-in, the database, file storage, and video conversion
- StripePayments and, where it applies, sales tax
- ResendSending email
- Apple Music or SpotifyWhen a guest searches for a song, only the search words are sent
- Google (Google Maps Places)When a signed-in organizer searches for a venue, only the search words and the place they pick are sent
- Komoot (Photon, from OpenStreetMap data)When someone searches for a venue while signed out, or when Google’s search isn’t working, only the search words are sent
- Google AnalyticsVisits to our home, pricing, comparison and guide pages and the pages where you create and pay for an event, and which ad or site sent them. Never on event pages
- Google WalletOnly if an organizer adds an event pass to it
- Google Cloud (Vertex AI), with Google’s Gemini or Anthropic’s ClaudeWhen an organizer asks the assistant in Manage for help, on the free Sampler or a paid plan, their messages and their event’s settings are sent to answer them, and, if they ask about reports, each report’s reason and note and the name of the guest who shared it. Guests’ photos are never sent. A message you speak is sent as a recording to be written down, and the recording isn’t kept
An organizer can also connect an AI app of their own, like Claude or ChatGPT, to manage their events. What it reads, it reads for them, under their own account with that app. They can disconnect it any time from their profile.
Voice-message transcripts are made by your own browser’s speech recognition. Some browsers send that audio to their maker (for example, Google for Chrome) to transcribe it; you can skip the transcript.
How long we keep it
Each event’s plan sets how long its gallery stays open, and the event page shows the dates:
| Plan | Uploads open up to | Gallery kept |
|---|---|---|
| Sampler | 7 days | 14 days after uploads close |
| Picture Book | 45 days | 4 months from when guests can enter |
| Short Story | 6 months | A year from when guests can enter |
| Saga | A year | 2 years from when guests can enter |
- Organizers can pay to keep a gallery longer, and get email reminders before uploads close and before the gallery does.
- 30 days after a gallery closes, everything in it is permanently deleted. An event its organizer deletes is hidden at once and permanently deleted within 30 days. For a free Sampler event, both are 14 days.
- Guests can delete their own uploads, and organizers anything in their event, at any time.
- Order and payment records are kept as long as tax and accounting law requires, even after the event is deleted.
- Your organizer account stays until you ask us to delete it.
Your choices and rights
Wherever you live, you can ask to see, correct, export, or delete the information we hold about you, and we’ll answer within 30 days, usually much sooner. Organizers can download their event’s photos and delete the event from its settings themselves. For anything else, . We may need to confirm it’s you first.
California. We don’t sell or share personal information, as California law defines those words, and we won’t treat you differently for using your privacy rights.
Europe and the UK. We use your information to provide the service you or your organizer asked for, for our legitimate interest in keeping it secure, and to meet legal duties such as keeping tax records. You can also object to how we use it, or complain to your local data protection authority.
Children
Fabled Events isn’t meant for children under 13 to use on their own, and we don’t knowingly collect their information. Photos of children shared by the adults at an event are treated like any other event content; please share them only with their parents’ permission, and ask us if one should come down.
Security
Everything travels over encrypted connections and is stored encrypted by Google Cloud. Who can open each event is checked on our servers, not just in your browser, and PINs are stored only as hashes. No service is perfectly secure; if something goes wrong that affects your information, we’ll tell you promptly, and what we’re doing about it.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy in a way that matters, we’ll update the date above and tell organizers by email first. If Fabled Events is ever sold or merged, this policy keeps applying to the information we hold, and we’ll tell you before anything about it changes. See also our terms of service.
