Security & Privacy

Your Family Secrets Stay Private. Period.

Bank-Grade Security for Your Most Personal Memories — Preserving Your History Without Exploiting Your Data.

We understand the hesitation. Handing over intimate family letters, wedding photos, and private journals requires absolute trust. We are entirely candid: we are in the business of preserving your legacy with total privacy.

7-Day Automatic File Shredding Policy

Once your final family book or dossier is generated and safely delivered, your raw uploaded files are automatically and permanently purged from our servers. Your memories belong strictly to you.

01

Bank-Grade AES-256 Encryption Standard

Every document, photo, and voice memo is encrypted both in transit and at rest.

  • Bank-grade AES-256 encryption via Amazon Web Services (AWS)
  • Secure TLS 1.2+ encrypted connections for all file transfers
  • Cryptographically signed, private access links
02

Permanent Source File Purging

Your source documents are never stored indefinitely on server hard drives.

  • Automatic 7-day server shredding after product delivery
  • Option to delete raw uploads immediately from your dashboard
  • Zero permanent copies kept without your explicit consent
03

Zero Public Model AI Training

Your family history remains 100% private and protected from AI model scraping.

  • Your private letters are never used to train public LLMs or foundation models
  • Paid commercial APIs ensure absolute data isolation
  • Stateless processing guarantees zero shared memory leaks

Let us be unequivocal about the technology we use: Zero Data Retention. We don't train our AI on your family's history. The data remains completely private.

Technical Specifications

The Evidence Behind Our Promise

Security Architecture

Our platform is designed to align with industry security frameworks including ISO/IEC 27001 and SOC 2 principles. Our technical controls are modeled on Annex A requirements.

  • A.8.24 Cryptography: 100% of storage buckets verified encrypted at rest (AES-256).
  • A.8.12 Data Leakage Prevention: All storage has Public Access Block enforced.
  • Audit Logging: AWS CloudTrail records API and management actions across the platform.
  • Threat Detection: AWS GuardDuty enabled for anomaly detection and security monitoring.
  • A.8.2 Access Management: Root MFA active, key rotation within 90-day policy.
  • A.7.1 Network Perimeter: Zero administrative ports (SSH/RDP) open to the public internet.
  • Vendor Management: Strict vetting of all sub-processors (AWS, Stripe).

End-to-End Encryption (SSE-S3)

Your data is encrypted not just in transit, but at rest using Server-Side Encryption with Amazon S3-Managed Keys (SSE-S3).

At Rest

All files in S3 and metadata in DynamoDB are encrypted with AES-256 using a key strictly isolated from general employee access.

Access Controls

Administrative access is restricted via IAM least-privilege policies. Encryption keys are managed by AWS and isolated from application-level access.

7-Day Auto-Deletion Policy (Digital Shredder)

We believe the safest data is data we no longer hold. Our "Digital Shredder" policy is enforced by immutable infrastructure code using S3 Lifecycle Policies.

All source documents uploaded to our system are automatically and permanently deleted 7 days after upload.

Note: This applies to your raw uploads. Your generated final dossier is securely retained for your access, or hosted publicly if you opt into the Heritage Vault.

Opt-In Public Hosting (Heritage Vault)

While your data is secure by default, we understand that family history is meant to be shared. The Heritage Vault is an opt-in service that hosts your finalized dossier as a public, shareable website.

By clicking "Share with Family" and subscribing to the Heritage Vault ($4.99/mo after a 7-day trial), you are intentionally moving your finalized dossier into an open S3 environment. This specific link is not password-protected and is accessible to anyone who possesses it. You may cancel your subscription to revoke public access at any time, which automatically seals the archive.
