Privacy

Your stories. Your terms.

Last updated: May 7, 2026

The short version

  • We're a Montréal company. We turn the stories you record into books, only at your direction.
  • We never sell or rent your data. We do not use your recordings to train other companies' AI models.
  • You can read, change, export, or delete everything you have shared with us, at any time.
  • We follow Canada's PIPEDA and Québec's Loi 25, two of the strictest privacy laws in North America.
  • Questions, requests, or concerns: privacy@lifememory.ca.

1. Who we are

LifeMemory is operated by 8lueberry Inc., a company based in Montréal, Québec, Canada. When this policy says “we”, “us”, or “LifeMemory”, that is who we mean.

2. The person in charge of your information

Under Québec's Loi 25, every business must designate a Privacy Officer, the person responsible for protecting your personal information. You can reach ours here:

  • Email: privacy@lifememory.ca
  • Mailing address: to be published soon. Until then, email is the fastest way to reach us.

We respond to privacy requests as quickly as we can, and within the timeframes the law requires (usually 30 days).

3. What we collect, and why

We try to collect as little as possible, only what we need to provide the service.

Account information

Your name, email, and (if you give it) phone number, so you can sign in and we can reach you about your account.

Stories you record

The audio you record, the text you type, and any files you upload. This is the heart of the product. Your stories often contain sensitive information about you and the people in your life. We treat them as confidential by default.

Generated content

Transcripts of your recordings, the chapters and books we generate from them, and any edits you make.

Usage data

Basic technical information when you use the app: what device you are on, when you open it, which screens you visit, and any errors. We use this to keep the service working and to improve it.

Payment information

If you order a book, our payment processor handles the transaction. We never see or store your full card number.

4. How we use your information

We use your information for these purposes, and only these purposes:

  • To run the service: store your recordings, transcribe them, group them into themes, and generate the books you have asked for.
  • To talk to you: account messages, order confirmations, support replies.
  • To keep the service safe and working: detect abuse, fix bugs, prevent fraud.
  • To meet our legal obligations: tax, accounting, responding to lawful requests.

We do not sell your data. We do not rent it. We do not share it with anyone for advertising. If we ever wanted to use your stories for a purpose beyond what is in this policy, we would ask you first, and you could say no.

5. AI processing

To turn spoken stories into a book, we use third-party AI services (currently OpenAI for transcription and language models, and Anthropic for language models). We send them only the audio, transcript, or text they need to do the job in front of them.

Under our agreements with these providers:

  • Your content is processed for the sole purpose of generating your book.
  • Your content is not used to train their general-purpose AI models.
  • Your content is deleted on their side within the period set out in their data-processing terms.

LifeMemory itself does not use your stories to train AI models that are made available to other users.

6. Voice recordings, and a note on biometrics

We store the audio you record so we can transcribe it and (if you order an audiobook) play it back. We do not currently extract a “voiceprint” or use your voice to identify you for security purposes. If we ever introduced a feature that did, that would be biometric data under Loi 25. In that case we would ask for your express consent first, and we would notify Québec's Commission d'accès à l'information at least 60 days before launching it, as the law requires.

7. People you mention in your stories

Your stories are about people. If a friend, family member, or someone else asks us to remove or correct references to themselves, we will tell you so you can act on it, and we will act directly when the law requires us to. By recording stories that involve other people, you confirm that you have a reasonable basis to do so.

8. Service providers and where your data is stored

We rely on a small number of trusted service providers to run the service. The current list:

  • Hosting and database: our hosting servers are located in Canada.
  • AI processing: OpenAI and Anthropic.
  • Payments: Stripe.

Some of these providers are based outside of Québec, including in Canada and the United States. Before we transfer your data outside of Québec, we conduct a Privacy Impact Assessment as Loi 25 requires. We pick providers with strong security and privacy standards, and we contractually require them to protect your data and use it only on our instructions.

9. How long we keep your data

  • Audio recordings, transcripts, and generated books: while your account is active, so you can re-read or reprint them. Once you delete them in the app, we remove them from the live system within 7 days, and from backups within 90 days.
  • Account information: while your account is active. After you close your account, we delete personal data within 90 days, except where law requires us to keep records longer (for example, billing records under Canadian tax law: 6 years).
  • Support emails: 24 months from your last reply, then deleted.

10. How we protect your information

We use technical and organizational safeguards proportional to the sensitivity of the information you trust us with. Among them:

  • Encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest.
  • Access controls. Only a small number of people on our team can access user data, and only when they need to for support or operations.
  • Audit logs of administrative access to user data.
  • Vendor reviews before we add a new service provider.
  • Privacy by default. New features ship with their highest-privacy settings on by default.

11. Your rights

Under PIPEDA and Loi 25, you have these rights over your personal information. To exercise any of them, write to privacy@lifememory.ca. We respond within 30 days.

  • Access: ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, and what we do with it.
  • Rectification: ask us to correct information that is inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date.
  • Deletion and cessation of dissemination: ask us to delete information that is no longer needed for the purposes we collected it for, or to stop sharing it.
  • Deindexation: ask us to make information harder to find online when continuing to expose it would cause you serious harm.
  • Portability: ask for your information in a structured, common technological format you can take elsewhere.
  • Withdraw consent: change your mind about consent you have given. Some parts of the service may stop working for you if you do.
  • Automated decisions: ask us to explain any decision we have made about you using only automated processing, and ask a human to review it. Today we do not make decisions about you by automated processing alone. If we ever did, we would tell you, in advance, what information was used and on what factors.

12. Cookies and analytics

Our public website uses a small number of essential cookies to remember your preferences. We use privacy-respecting product analytics to understand how the site and app are used. We do not use third-party advertising cookies, and we do not track you across other sites.

13. Children

LifeMemory is for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 14. If you believe a child has given us information without parental consent, write to privacy@lifememory.ca and we will delete it.

14. Privacy incidents

If something goes wrong and a confidentiality incident creates a real risk of serious harm, we will notify the affected people and the Commission d'accès à l'information du Québec without delay. Where applicable we will also notify the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. We keep an internal register of confidentiality incidents.

15. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy in a way that meaningfully affects you, we will let you know in advance, by email, an in-app notice, or a banner on the site. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will always reflect the current version.

16. How to complain

If you think we have mishandled your information, we want to hear about it first. Email privacy@lifememory.ca. If you are not satisfied with our response, you can file a complaint with:

  • Commission d'accès à l'information du Québec (CAI), for Québec residents: cai.gouv.qc.ca.
  • Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC), federally: priv.gc.ca.
