What types of memories can I save in Kumbu?

From a computer:

Pictures, videos, but also, Facebook posts & pictures, Instagrams, Tweets, pictures from Google Photos, Flickr, 500px, Youtube Videos, WhatsApp messages, webpages, blog posts, and more using the Kumbu Save Button for Chrome. 

From your smartphone:

Pictures and videos from your camera roll, any webpage from your navigator, and content from all the application that allow exporting like SMS.

Can I automatically save everything in my social accounts?

No you cannot. Right now, Kumbu allows you to save selected content. You see a Facebook post you want to save, you hit the Kumbu button to save this one post. But you cannot save everything in your Facebook Profile or all your Tweets at once.

If you’d want this feature or any other, please drop us an email and let us know!

How does Kumbu save my memories?

Kumbu saves the URL but more importantly, the content itself and the original look & feel. Technically speaking, we create an archive of the content you have chosen to save. If the source disappears, it’s still in Kumbu!

Where are my memories stored?

Right now, your data is being stored on our servers that are hosted at Amazon Web Services (AWS) and archived at OVH in Europe. We’re investigating the possibility of letting our users decide where their data is hosted so if this is something that you’d want, please contact us.

Is Kumbu secure?

Keeping your data safe and secure is our most important mission at Kumbu. Here's what we do in order to ensure the best security and privacy.

We follow best practices around data and service security

  • We use SSL encryption in transport, which means communication between your browser and our servers is always encrypted
  • Passwords are encrypted, hashed and salted using bcrypt
  • We use checklists to secure server access, and regularly audit our security practices
  • We code defensively to protect against malware injection and unauthorized code access
  • We monitor server access against any unusual intrusion

We do not have access to your content

At Kumbu we have the strongest commitment towards respecting your privacy. This is why no one at Kumbu has access to the souvenirs that you choose to save with us. The only data we collect from our user is either macro information that helps us improve the service (such as the number of souvenirs, types of souvenirs…) or the data available in your profile page. 

We do not sell, nor share your data or contact information with 3rd parties

Never. We've expanded on these topics in our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions . We welcome your feedback on these - we want to keep them as clear and jargon free as possible, while earning your trust.
