We believe your family stories are deeply personal. Here's how we take care of them.
We don't sell, share, or use your stories for anything other than preserving them for your family. They belong to you.
Your name and email (to create your account), voice recordings and their transcripts, and a session cookie to keep you logged in. That's it.
Voice recordings are sent to OpenAI for transcription and gentle editing (cleaning up filler words, adding punctuation). OpenAI does not use your data to train its models. Recordings are processed and not stored by OpenAI beyond what's needed for the transcription.
Your data is stored securely: account information in a database, audio recordings in cloud storage (Google Cloud). All connections are encrypted.
Only three groups: (1) You, the account holder, have full access. (2) Storytellers can see the specific question they received and their recordings. (3) Anyone you share your Story Archive link and PIN with can listen and read transcripts. No one else can see your stories.
We use a service called Resend to send you emails (like login links and story notifications). Your email address is shared with Resend for this purpose only.
You can delete your account at any time from the Account tab. This removes your account, all prompts, recordings, and transcripts permanently.
As with any hosted service, the people who maintain the system have technical access to the infrastructure. We treat your data with care and respect, and access it only if needed to keep the service running.
