Privacy Policy

We collect the following categories of information:

• —Account information: Name, email address, and birth information you provide when creating an account or setting up an Echo.
• —Interview responses: Text and transcribed answers you provide during the guided Interview — the 433-prompt questionnaire used to build an Echo’s source material.
• —Interview audio: Spoken answers you deliberately record for transcription into Written source material. Voice cloning is not part of the current free beta.
• —Uploaded artifacts: Photos, documents, letters, audio clips, obituaries, recipes, and other materials submitted to build or enrich an Echo.
• —Family access tokens: Shareable tokens used to grant family members access to an Echo. Tokens are stored as one-way SHA-256 hashes — we cannot recover the plaintext value.
• —Beta entitlement: We record whether an approved account has active beta access and when that time-bounded access ends. The free beta does not request credit card information.
• —Usage data: Standard server logs including IP address, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps. We use this data to operate and improve the platform and do not sell it.

We use the data we collect to:

• —Build and operate living-person Written Echos by indexing source material for retrieval during text conversations.
• —Retrieve relevant source material for Echo replies. Retrieved references may be displayed when available. Answer-level ZH verification is still being validated, and generated replies can be wrong.
• —Confirm and track approved, time-bounded beta access.
• —Communicate with you about your account, beta access, and platform changes.
• —Diagnose technical issues and improve the platform.

Current beta term: Approved accounts receive time-bounded access to one living-person Written Echo. We retain data needed to operate the beta subject to approved retention policy and applicable law.

No complete self-service workflow: Settings do not currently provide a complete self-service account-data export, account deletion, or consent-withdrawal control. Content-specific print and download tools are not a full account export.

Request review: Email contact@my3chos.com with an access, correction, portability, consent, or deletion request. We review and handle requests according to applicable law and approved policy. This policy does not promise a fixed completion date or automatic deletion of backups, derived data, models, or audit records.

We do not sell your data. We share data only in the following limited circumstances:

• —Payment processors: The free beta does not send beta signup information to Stripe. If paid plans open later, any payment processor and its data use will be disclosed before purchase.
• —Family members you authorize: When you share a family access token, the recipient gains access to the Echo associated with that token. You control who receives tokens.
• —Legal requirements: If required by valid legal process (court order, subpoena), we will comply and notify you to the extent permitted by law.

Depending on where you live, applicable law may provide rights concerning access, correction, portability, deletion, restriction, or objection. To submit a privacy request, email us at contact@my3chos.com. Requests are reviewed and handled according to applicable law and approved policy. This page does not promise a particular outcome or completion date where the law does not require one.
