Data retention & privacy
Your privacy matters. Always.
Learn how we protect your data, respect your ownership, and honour the trust placed in us by every person who chooses AfterEcho.
End-to-end encryption
All messages, videos, and documents are encrypted at rest and in transit. Only you and your designated recipients can access your preserved memories.
GDPR Compliance
We operate with a privacy-first approach, fully aligned with UK GDPR requirements. We never sell your personal data.
Human-Verified Release
We do not rely on automated 'dead man's switches'. Our release process involves trusted Legacy Guardians and human verification to prevent accidental delivery.
Two-factor authentication
We mandate 2FA for all accounts to ensure that your private vault remains secure against unauthorised access.
Secure Data Centres
Your data is stored in highly secure, redundant data centres designed for long-term archival preservation and operational continuity.
Ready to begin?
Afterglow is built for permanence. Your archive is preserved across geographically redundant, encrypted backups so that nothing meaningful is ever lost to a single point of failure.
You can review, edit, withdraw or permanently delete any item at any time. If you cancel a subscription, we will give you ample notice and the opportunity to export your archive before any deletion takes place.
We will never sell your data. We will never use your memories to train models. We will never share your archive with third parties without your explicit, verified instruction.
In the event of release, only the recipients you nominated — verified through your Legacy Guardians and our protocols — will receive only the messages you intended for them.
