Enhanced Legacy Controls
This is an area of our manifesto that is currently under development.
Our nonprofit mission is to keep data perpetually accessible for the historical and educational benefit of future generations. We promise to respect the privacy and copyright of every user's personal data and give them control to publicly release that data on their own terms, keep it in private hands if they wish, or have it permanently destroyed.
- Legacy Planning – How do you make sure that the people you trust have control over your data when you no longer can? Legacy Planning is how we allow our users to set specific instructions for how their data should be handled in the future, whether handed over to a loved one, locked up forever, or published to the web. Learn more about what we're working on with Legacy Planning here.
