Privacy Policy
Last Updated: September 7, 2026
Archived ("Archived," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you use the Archived application, website, and related services.
1. Information We Collect
Depending on how you interact with Archived, we may collect the following information:
- Name and contact information
- Mobile phone number
- Account and registration information
- Invitation codes and invitation information
- Information required to create or complete your Archived registration
- Information you provide when contacting or communicating with us
- Technical information necessary to operate, maintain, and secure our services
We collect information that is reasonably necessary to provide and operate the Archived service.
2. How We Use Your Information
We may use the information we collect to:
- Create and manage Archived accounts
- Create and manage invitations
- Send invitation codes and invitation links
- Complete the registration process
- Communicate with you regarding your account or invitation
- Protect the security and integrity of our services
- Prevent fraud, abuse, and unauthorized activity
- Comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements
Archived does not use invitation or registration SMS messages for promotional or marketing purposes.
3. SMS and Mobile Communications
An authorized Archived administrator may explain the Archived service and registration process to a prospective user. If the user understands the process and explicitly agrees to receive an invitation SMS, the administrator may create an invitation using the user's mobile phone number.
The SMS may contain:
- An Archived invitation code;
- An Archived invitation or registration link; or
- Other information necessary to complete the Archived registration process.
Message frequency varies depending on the invitation and registration process. In general, an invitation SMS is sent when an authorized administrator creates an invitation for the user.
Message and data rates may apply.
You may opt out of SMS communications by replying STOP to an Archived SMS message. You may request assistance by replying HELP where supported.
4. SMS Consent
SMS consent is voluntary.
Before an invitation SMS is sent, an authorized Archived administrator explains the Archived service and the registration process and asks the user whether they understand the process and agree to receive the invitation SMS.
The user may decline to receive the SMS. If the user does not provide consent, the administrator will not send an invitation SMS to that mobile number.
SMS consent is limited to Archived invitation and registration-related communications and does not constitute consent to receive unrelated marketing or promotional messages.
5. Mobile Phone Numbers and SMS Consent Information
We do not sell, rent, or share your mobile phone number or SMS consent information with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes.
We may share your mobile phone number and other necessary information with service providers that process information on our behalf when necessary to provide the Archived service. This may include SMS, telecommunications, hosting, infrastructure, security, and other technology providers.
For example, we may provide a mobile phone number to our SMS messaging provider so that the provider can deliver an invitation message requested through Archived.
These service providers are authorized to use information only as necessary to provide services to Archived and are not authorized to use mobile phone numbers or SMS consent information for their own marketing or promotional purposes.
6. Information Sharing
We may disclose personal information when necessary to:
- Provide and operate Archived;
- Deliver requested SMS communications;
- Provide hosting, infrastructure, security, customer support, and other technical services;
- Protect Archived, our users, and our services from fraud or unauthorized activity;
- Comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, or governmental requests; or
- Protect our rights, property, or safety.
We do not sell mobile phone numbers or SMS consent information for marketing purposes.
7. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, understand website usage, maintain security, and improve our services.
Where applicable, we may provide additional choices regarding cookies and certain advertising or analytics technologies through our privacy preferences or cookie-management tools.
These website technologies are separate from the SMS invitation program described in this Privacy Policy.
8. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or destruction.
However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide our services, maintain business and security records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and otherwise fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
The retention period may vary depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it was collected.

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including rights to access, correct, delete, or otherwise control certain information.
For SMS communications, you may opt out by replying STOP to an Archived SMS message.

Archived is not intended for children where collection of their personal information is prohibited by applicable law.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.
