Your Story Privacy Controls

Private Stories

Stories marked as private are only visible to you and remain completely confidential.

Public Stories

Stories you choose to make public are shared with the community but you can change this anytime.

Data Security & Storage

Encryption

All your stories are encrypted both in transit and at rest using industry-standard security protocols.

Secure Storage

Your data is stored on secure, redundant servers with regular backups to ensure your memories are preserved.

Cloudflare Protection

We use Cloudflare for security and performance. Cloudflare may process technical data for DDoS protection and caching, but we don't use their analytics or tracking features.

Access Control

Strict access controls ensure only authorized personnel can access systems, never your personal content.

Data Sharing & Third Parties

Zero Data Sharing Promise

Your personal information stays with us, period.

✅We never sell your personal information, stories, or any data to third parties

✅We never share your name, email, or personal details with advertisers or marketers

✅We don't use ads or advertising networks that would access your data

✅No analytics companies receive your personal information or browsing data

✅Only exception: Cloudflare processes technical data for security (DDoS protection, caching) but has no access to your stories or personal information

Transparency & Trust

🌟 Open Source Project

Complete transparency: Our entire project is open source, meaning you can inspect every line of code that handles your data. This isn't just about trust, it's about proving our commitment to your privacy through complete transparency. You can verify exactly how we store, process, and protect your stories.

⏰ Deletion Window

You're in control: You can delete your stories at any moment before we begin the physical disk writing process for the millennium vault. We will clearly announce to the entire community when we start the permanent archiving process, giving you full transparency about the timeline. Until that announcement, your stories remain fully editable and deletable.

Community Funding & Independence

100% Community Project

Self-funded and independent from external influence

💚Self-funded: This project runs on personal resources and community donations

💚No sponsors: We have zero corporate sponsors or advertising partners

💚No investors: No venture capital or external investors with data demands

💚Community-driven: Decisions are made based on community needs, not profit motives
