Terms of use

rodzinka.life is the private archive of one family: the family tree, photos, documents, recorded and written memories, and family events. People join only by invitation from the archive's owner. Everyone invited can see the family archive, and roles decide who can make changes in it.

Recordings, photos, documents and stories are kept with no time limit. You can withdraw a memory, and to have something removed for good, ask the archive's owner.

The archive's database and files are on Microsoft Azure servers in the European Union (West Europe region).

Some features use artificial intelligence. This is who processes your content, and what for:

• Speech recognition on our own server (Whisper) – transcribes recordings of relatives who did not agree to services outside the server. Such a recording never leaves the server.
• Deepgram (USA) – turns saved recordings of people with an account (and of relatives who agreed to this) into text, and, when you turn on live text, shows the text as you record.
• Anthropic's Claude models (USA), through our AI gateway – reading scanned documents, the document assistant, and “Tidy up with AI” (correcting and tidying a recording's transcript).
• An OpenAI image model through OpenRouter (USA) – restoring old photos (“Restore with AI”) and painting the family tree poster.

A saved recording is turned into text so that it can be read. The other features only run when someone uses them. By using a feature you agree that the content it needs – the recording, the text, the scan, the photo, or the names from the tree for the poster – is sent to that service for that purpose. The saved text is always shown to you for review, and the original recording is never overwritten.

We use only the cookies needed for signing in and for recording memories through an invitation – no advertising and no tracking across other sites. Read about privacy

When these terms change, we will ask you to accept them again.
