Content Ownership Policy

You own the materials you upload. We own the platform. What that means for AI-generated outputs.

We want to be clear about what you own, what we own, and what each party can do with it.

You own

  • The photos, videos, documents, audio recordings, and stories you upload.
  • The personal data inside those materials.

AncestLore owns

  • The platform, software, models, design, brand, and underlying technology.
  • Aggregated and de-identified data used to improve reliability and safety.

AI-generated outputs

For outputs we generate from Your Content (Memory Conversations, narrations, films, books, transcripts, summaries), you receive a perpetual licence to use them for personal, family, and remembrance purposes. Commercial use requires separate written agreement. We retain the right to operate, improve, and provide the Service.

Independent review

The exact contours of ownership and licensing are subject to independent legal review before commercial launch.
