Last Updated: January 23, 2026
What We Collect
- •Your name and email address
- •Your voice recordings and stories
- •Photos you upload
- •Birth year (to create your timeline)
What We DON'T Collect

Who We Share With
- •OpenAI & AssemblyAI - To transcribe your voice recordings into text

✅ We NEVER sell your data to anyone
AI & Your Stories
✅ We NEVER use your stories to train AI models
When we transcribe your recordings, the AI processes your audio and returns the text, then deletes the audio. Your family memories belong to you alone.
✅ AI providers cannot keep your recordings
We have agreements with OpenAI and AssemblyAI that prevent them from storing or training on your content.
