MEMORY is FREE - No subscription fees and no data selling.
- MEMORY does not operate commercially and does not take profits.
- No user data is shared with or sold to other companies. We do not profit from your data, and only collect the minimum information required for you to use the site.
- Delete your account and remove everything at any time
- Internet privacy, adverts and tracking can be a nightmare. We understand that. We don't do that.
What's the catch?
MEMORY is built by software engineers. Because we don't charge, we don't provide official support. But, we offer a community forum, help documentation. Whilst we try our best to respond to emails, we do not offer guaranteed service level agreements.

High Availability
We don't sell your data
But we just need to work with a few 3rd parties to make sure things work OK.
Sentry - We use this for bug tracking. We anonymise any user data such as IP address and email address - we don't send them unneccessary data.
Pingdom - We use this to measure user response time from different countries. No personally identifiable information is sent to this provider.
Google Analytics - We use this to measure site traffic - we send the minimum personal information to record traffic - not your user information.
Email options
Emails can be received to notify you of updates and practice reminders - We usually default new users to have all email options off, but from time to time test it with it enabled. If you do have enabled them, you can disable them at any time by editing your profile or clicking unsubscribe. Your email address does not leave our servers.
You can close your account at any time in the edit profile screen and we will remove all identifiable information.
