The Legacy Compact
An enduring agreement between Heartloom and your family lineage.
I. The Nature of Custodianship
Heartloom acts as a non-volatile custodian of your family's digital essence. By utilizing our services, you grant us the limited right to host, store, and format your media for perpetual access.
- —We pledge to never sell, monetize, or subject your legacy content to algorithmic advertising.
- —Your digital artifacts remain your property, held in trust by our architecture.
II. Guaranteed Message Delivery
Temporal Protocol
Messages scheduled for future release are protected by a multi-signature verification process so your voice reaches the intended generation at the exact requested moment.
Verification of Passing
For “Last Will” communications, Heartloom applies a compassionate verification system, requiring documentation or trusted advocate confirmation before the vault is unsealed.
III. Code of Family Conduct
The Heartloom ecosystem is a sanctuary. We require all users to adhere to the Dignity Clause.
Authenticity Mandate
Users must represent themselves and their family history with honesty. Misrepresentation for malicious intent or impersonation of others is grounds for immediate vault suspension.
Sanctuary Protection
The use of Heartloom for the distribution of harmful, hateful, or illegal content is strictly prohibited. We reserve the right to prune artifacts that violate the universal standards of human dignity.

IV. Preservation
We utilize decentralized storage protocols and file-format migration to ensure your photos and videos remain playable on devices not yet invented.
V. Archival Privacy
Zero-knowledge encryption means even our engineers cannot view your personal artifacts without your explicit invitation or designated heritage key.
