Family Archive

Privacy Policy

Effective 23 August 2026 · Legal review required before publication

Family Archive, offered by Andrii Meshcheriakov, stores family photographs, original voice recordings, stories, account information, and the details needed to operate a shared private archive. This draft explains the implemented data flows in plain language and requires final legal review before App Store submission.

Data we process

  • Account and identity information, such as name, email address, provider subject, and user identifiers.
  • Photos, voice recordings, written stories, people, places, dates, reactions, questions, and other content a family chooses to add.
  • Device, session, purchase, quota, upload, synchronization, and security information needed to provide and protect the service.
  • Text or voice support requests and an allowlisted technical diagnostic envelope when the user chooses to send one.

Why we process it

We use this data to create and synchronize the archive, authenticate members, process selected recordings with cloud AI when enabled, organize content, provide export and deletion, verify subscriptions, prevent abuse, keep the service reliable, and answer support requests.

Cloud AI

When cloud AI is enabled, selected audio or text is sent to the processors listed on the Subprocessors page to create readable text, summaries, suggested facts, or photo-grouping signals. AI output is supporting material and may be inaccurate. The original recording remains separate. An archive owner can disable cloud AI in settings.

Sharing and access

Archive owners and curators choose who joins the family space and what roles they receive. Time-limited support grants are separate from ordinary support requests. We do not use family content for advertising.

Retention, export, and deletion

Users can export their archive and start account or archive deletion from the app. Deletion is scheduled for seven days and can be cancelled during that period. Residual copies may remain in encrypted backups for up to 30 days; they are unavailable to the app and must not be restored into live data.

Security and international processing

We use access controls, transport encryption, scoped service identities, audit records, and content-blind operational views. Data may be processed in countries where our service providers operate. The final policy will identify the controller, lawful bases, transfer safeguards, and contact procedure after legal review.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, export, restrict, object to, or delete personal data and to complain to a supervisory authority. Use in-app support or the contact details on the Support page.
