Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2025

Our Commitment

Family Journal is a private memory-keeping service, not a social network. Your family's memories belong to you and stay within your family.

What we do: Protect your content with encryption. Enable account recovery. Provide helpful support when you need it.

What we don't do: Sell your data. Show you ads. Mine your content for AI training. Share your information with third parties.

How Your Data is Protected

Encryption: All data encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256)
Access control: Only family members you invite can see your content
Secure storage: Photos use unguessable URLs with 24-hour expiration
Authentication: Sign-in required for all access

Like Google Photos, iCloud, or Dropbox, we use server-side encryption. This means we can help you recover your account if needed, but you trust us to protect your data responsibly.

What This Is (and Isn't)

Family Journal is a private memory service. It's designed for families to document their journey together, not for public sharing or social networking.

Private by design: No public profiles, no followers, no likes, no feeds
Ad-free forever: We'll never show ads or sell your attention
Your content is yours: Export anytime, in standard formats
Invite-only access: You control exactly who can see your family's memories
