Privacy Policy


Effective Date: [Insert Date]

Last Updated: [Insert Date]


Welcome to EpikStory ("EpikStory," "we," "our," or "us").

At EpikStory, we believe the moments that shape your life deserve to be protected with the highest level of care. Every memory, story, photograph, voice recording, and milestone entrusted to us represents something deeply personal. Protecting your privacy is therefore not simply a legal obligation—it is a fundamental part of our mission.

This Privacy Policy explains how EpikStory collects, uses, stores, protects, and shares your personal information when you use the EpikStory mobile application, our website, and any related services (collectively, the "Services").

We are committed to processing your personal information responsibly, transparently, and in accordance with applicable privacy and data protection laws, including, where applicable:


By using EpikStory, creating an account, accessing our Services, or otherwise providing information to us, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.


If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, you should discontinue use of the Services.



Our Commitment to Your Privacy


EpikStory was created to preserve life's most meaningful moments—not to exploit them.

Unlike many digital services whose business models rely on extensive advertising or behavioural profiling, our purpose is to provide a secure, trusted, and long-term home for your personal memories.

Accordingly, we are guided by the following privacy principles:




Scope of this Privacy Policy


This Privacy Policy applies to all personal information collected through:



This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party websites, applications, or services that may be linked from EpikStory. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of those third parties before providing them with your information.



Changes to Our Services


As EpikStory continues to evolve, we may introduce new features, technologies, integrations, and functionality designed to improve your experience.

Where those changes affect the way we process personal information, we will update this Privacy Policy accordingly and, where required by applicable law, provide appropriate notice or obtain your consent before processing your information in materially different ways.



Transparency


We believe privacy policies should be understandable by everyone—not just lawyers.

If any part of this Privacy Policy is unclear, or if you have questions regarding how your personal information is collected, used, or protected, we encourage you to contact us. We are committed to responding openly and transparently.

5. Voice Recordings & AI Transcription


One of EpikStory's core features allows you to effortlessly preserve memories by recording them using your voice.

This feature is entirely optional and is activated only when you choose to record a memory.

We believe your voice tells stories in ways words alone cannot. For that reason, we are committed to handling voice recordings with the highest standards of privacy, security, and transparency.

When you tap the Record button, EpikStory may collect and process:

Voice recording begins only after you explicitly initiate the recording.

EpikStory does not continuously monitor, record, or listen to your device.

E. Audio Processing


Depending on your device, language, selected features, and available technologies, voice recordings may be processed using secure cloud-based speech recognition services or compatible on-device processing where supported.

Processing may involve trusted service providers acting solely on our behalf and under contractual obligations requiring confidentiality, security, and compliance with applicable privacy laws.

These providers are not permitted to use your recordings for their own independent commercial purposes except where necessary to deliver the transcription service requested by EpikStory and subject to applicable agreements and law.



F. Search Functionality


After transcription, EpikStory may securely index your memory so that you can later search for it using information such as:


Search indexing exists solely to improve retrieval of your own memories.

Voice recordings and their associated transcriptions remain associated with your account until:


Where feasible, deleted recordings are removed from active systems within a reasonable period. Backup copies may persist temporarily before being securely overwritten according to our retention schedules.



I. Improving Voice Recognition


We do not use your private voice recordings to train public artificial intelligence models or make them available to other users.

Where we seek to improve our transcription services using customer data, we will do so only where permitted by applicable law and, where required, with your explicit consent or after applying appropriate anonymisation or de-identification techniques.



J. No Human Listening as a General Practice


As a general rule, EpikStory personnel do not listen to your voice recordings.

Access to recordings may occur only in limited circumstances where reasonably necessary, including:

Any such access is subject to appropriate internal controls and confidentiality obligations.



K. Our Commitment


Your voice carries memories that may never be spoken again.

We recognise the trust you place in EpikStory when preserving those moments, and we are committed to handling every recording with care, respect, and industry-recognised security practices.



6. Memory Content, Photos & Videos


EpikStory exists to help you preserve the moments that matter most.

Everything you choose to create, upload, record, organise, or store within EpikStory—including your memories, photographs, videos, voice recordings, Life Chapters, Memory Albums, and related content—is collectively referred to as Memory Content.

We recognise that your Memory Content is deeply personal and often irreplaceable. We are committed to protecting it with appropriate technical, administrative, and organisational safeguards while giving you meaningful control over how it is managed.



A. Ownership of Your Memory Content


Your memories belong to you.

EpikStory does not claim ownership of the Memory Content you create, upload, record, or store through the Services.

Subject to the limited rights necessary to operate and provide the Services, you retain all rights, title, and interests in your Memory Content.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy transfers ownership of your memories, photographs, videos, journal entries, or other personal content to EpikStory.



B. Limited Licence to Provide the Services


By uploading or creating Memory Content within EpikStory, you grant EpikStory a limited, non-exclusive, revocable licence to:

This licence exists solely for the purpose of operating and providing EpikStory.

Depending on your device and settings, uploaded media may include metadata such as:

E. Search & Indexing


To enable fast and meaningful search, EpikStory may create secure indexes of your Memory Content.

These indexes may allow you to search using information such as:

Search indexes are intended exclusively for your personal use within your account.



F. Sharing Your Memories


Certain features may allow you to voluntarily share selected Memory Content with others.

Examples may include:

You decide which memories, if any, you share.

Information you intentionally share with others may no longer be under the exclusive control of EpikStory once received by the recipient.

We encourage you to exercise discretion when sharing personal memories.



G. Sensitive Content


Many memories naturally contain highly personal information.

Examples include:

You choose what information you preserve within EpikStory.

Please avoid uploading content that you are not legally entitled to possess or share, or that violates applicable laws or the rights of others.



H. Content Integrity


EpikStory is designed to preserve your memories as accurately as possible.

While we strive to maintain the integrity of your Memory Content, no digital storage system can guarantee absolute protection against every possible event, including unforeseen technical failures, cyber incidents, natural disasters, or force majeure events.

We encourage users to maintain personal backups of especially valuable content where appropriate.



I. Content Moderation


As a private Life Archive, EpikStory generally does not monitor, review, or moderate the content of your personal memories.

However, we may access or review specific content where reasonably necessary to:

Any such access is limited to the extent reasonably necessary and is subject to strict confidentiality obligations.



J. Deletion of Memory Content


You may delete individual memories, albums, photographs, videos, voice recordings, or your entire account at any time through the Services, subject to applicable technical limitations.

Following deletion:

Deleted content cannot always be recovered once permanent deletion has occurred.



K. Our Commitment


Your memories represent your life's story.

Whether it is your child's first steps, your wedding day, a handwritten note from a loved one, or an ordinary afternoon that later becomes extraordinary, we understand that these moments are more than files—they are part of who you are.

Our role is not to own your story.

Our responsibility is to help you preserve it securely, respectfully, and with the care it deserves.



7. Cloud Storage, Security & Protection of Your Information


The security and long-term preservation of your memories are central to the design of EpikStory.

We implement a combination of technical, organisational, and administrative safeguards designed to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, loss, misuse, or destruction.

While no system can guarantee absolute security, we continuously review and improve our security practices to maintain a high standard of protection appropriate to the nature of the information entrusted to us.



A. Secure Cloud Infrastructure


EpikStory stores and processes user data using trusted cloud infrastructure providers that are selected based on their reliability, security, availability, and compliance with internationally recognised security and privacy standards.

These providers operate under contractual obligations requiring them to:

Infrastructure providers act solely as authorised data processors and do not obtain ownership of your Memory Content.



B. Data Security


We employ multiple layers of security designed to safeguard your information throughout its lifecycle.

Depending on the Services used, these safeguards may include:

Security measures are reviewed periodically and may evolve as technologies and industry practices change.



C. Access Controls


Access to personal information is strictly limited.

Only authorised personnel, contractors, or service providers with a legitimate business need may access specific categories of information, and only to the extent necessary to perform their responsibilities.

Access is governed by internal security policies, confidentiality obligations, and role-based permissions designed to minimise unnecessary exposure to personal information.



D. Encryption


Where supported by the Services, EpikStory uses encryption technologies designed to protect information both while it is transmitted over networks and while stored within our systems.

Encryption helps reduce the risk of unauthorised interception or disclosure of information during communication and storage.

The specific encryption technologies we use may change over time as industry standards evolve.



E. Backup & Disaster Recovery


To promote service continuity and protect against accidental loss of data, EpikStory maintains backup and recovery procedures designed to support business continuity and disaster recovery.

Backups are used solely for operational resilience, disaster recovery, and restoration of services where appropriate.

Backup systems are subject to security controls consistent with the sensitivity of the information they contain.



F. Data Availability


We are committed to maintaining a reliable and resilient platform.

Our systems are designed to promote high availability and minimise service interruptions through redundancy, monitoring, and operational safeguards.


However, temporary interruptions may occur due to:

We work to restore normal service as quickly as reasonably practicable.



G. Security Testing


To maintain a secure platform, we may conduct or commission appropriate security assessments, including:

These activities help us identify and reduce potential security risks.



H. User Responsibilities


Security is a shared responsibility.

You can help protect your account by:

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.



I. Security Incidents


Despite our security measures, no technology platform can guarantee absolute protection against every possible cybersecurity threat.

If we become aware of a security incident affecting your personal information, we will investigate the incident promptly and, where required by applicable law, notify affected users and relevant regulatory authorities within the legally required timeframes.

We will also take reasonable steps to minimise the impact of the incident and reduce the likelihood of recurrence.



J. Continuous Improvement


Cybersecurity threats continue to evolve.

Accordingly, EpikStory regularly reviews, updates, and improves its security practices, technologies, operational procedures, and internal controls to maintain an appropriate level of protection for the information entrusted to us.

Our commitment to security is an ongoing process rather than a one-time implementation.



K. Our Commitment


When you preserve your life's memories with EpikStory, you place your trust in us.

We recognise that trust must be earned every day.

For that reason, we are committed to implementing responsible security practices, continually improving our systems, and protecting your information with the same care and diligence we would expect for our own most meaningful memories.


8. International Data Transfers


EpikStory is designed to serve users around the world.

As a result, your personal information may be processed, stored, or transferred to countries other than the country in which you reside.

These transfers may occur where it is necessary to:

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we implement appropriate safeguards designed to ensure that your information continues to receive a level of protection consistent with applicable privacy laws.

Such safeguards may include:

Regardless of where your information is processed, EpikStory requires authorised service providers to maintain appropriate security, confidentiality, and privacy protections.



9. Data Retention


We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Services, fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, comply with applicable laws, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and protect the security and integrity of our platform.

Because EpikStory is a personal Life Archive, your Memory Content is generally retained for as long as you choose to maintain your account.

The duration of retention may vary depending on the type of information involved.


Account Information


We retain your account information while your account remains active and for a reasonable period thereafter where necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, or enforce our agreements.

Customer Support Records


Support communications may be retained for a reasonable period to improve customer service, investigate issues, comply with legal obligations, and maintain accurate business records.



Technical Logs


Security logs, authentication records, diagnostic information, and system logs are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for security, fraud prevention, system integrity, operational monitoring, and legal compliance.



Legal Retention


Certain information may be retained for longer periods where required by applicable law, lawful governmental requests, court orders, tax regulations, accounting obligations, fraud prevention, or legitimate legal claims.



10. Deletion of Information


We believe you should remain in control of your personal information.

Accordingly, EpikStory provides tools that allow you to manage, edit, export, and delete your information.

You may choose to:



Permanent Account Deletion


When you permanently delete your account, we will begin the process of removing your personal information from our active systems.

Deletion may include:



Some information may remain temporarily within encrypted backup systems until those backups are securely overwritten in accordance with our operational retention schedules.



Information That May Be Retained


Even after account deletion, we may retain limited information where reasonably necessary to:



Any retained information will continue to be protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy.



Irreversible Deletion

Your memories represent your personal history.

We are committed to ensuring that you remain informed, empowered, and in control of your personal information throughout your relationship with our Services.


14. Children's Privacy


EpikStory is designed for individuals of all ages who wish to preserve their life's memories. However, we recognise the importance of protecting children's privacy and are committed to complying with applicable laws relating to children's personal information.

The Services are not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.

Where parental or guardian consent is required by law, children should use the Services only with the involvement and permission of a parent or legal guardian.


If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child without the legally required consent, we will take reasonable steps to investigate the matter and, where appropriate, delete the information or obtain the necessary consent.

Parents or legal guardians who believe their child has provided personal information to EpikStory without appropriate consent may contact us using the details provided at the end of this Privacy Policy.
