Your stories belong to you.

How Ember protects your information.

Effective August 11, 2026 · Last updated August 11, 2026

Welcome

Welcome to Ember.

Ember exists to help people preserve the stories, memories, dreams, and moments that matter most.

We understand that choosing to share those moments with us is an act of trust. We believe that trust should be earned through transparency, thoughtful design, and a commitment to protecting the people who use our platform.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we protect it, and the choices you have regarding your information.

We've written this policy to be as clear and straightforward as possible while also meeting the legal requirements that help protect both you and Ember.

If you have questions after reading this policy, we're always happy to help.

Our Privacy Commitment

Everything we build is guided by a few simple principles.

Your stories belong to you.

The content you create within Ember remains yours. Whether you are preserving a life story, recording a dream, or using future Ember products, you retain ownership of your content.

Privacy is our default.

Your information is private unless you choose to share it.

We do not make your stories public.
We do not publish your content.
We do not sell your personal information.

You control sharing.

Only you decide who can access your content.

When you invite family members, collaborators, readers, or other trusted individuals, you remain in control of that decision.

Security is part of trust.

We protect your information using industry-standard security practices and continually improve those protections as Ember evolves.

AI works for you.

Artificial intelligence is used to assist you in organizing, refining, and understanding your own content.

AI does not replace your voice.

Your stories remain your stories.
