Overview
Family Legacy is designed to help families preserve important information, but users also need clear ways to remove information when it should no longer be stored.
Deletion options may depend on your role, the type of data, workspace ownership, legal obligations, and technical retention requirements.
Delete account
A user may request account deletion by contacting Family Legacy. Deleting an account may remove profile information and access to family workspaces.
If the user owns a family workspace, ownership transfer or family workspace deletion may need to be handled before the account is fully removed.
Delete family
Family workspace deletion should be requested by an owner or authorized admin. Deleting a family may remove members, relationships, settings, invitations, events, gallery records, vault records, timeline items, feed content, notifications, and AI request history associated with that workspace.
Because this can permanently affect many relatives, Family Legacy should confirm family deletion carefully before processing it.
Delete photos
Gallery items can be deleted from the dashboard where supported. Deleting a gallery item should remove the record and may also remove or disconnect the associated storage file when storage deletion is supported.
If a photo appears in multiple places, such as a member profile, feed post, or timeline memory, users may need to remove each related reference.
Delete documents
Vault items can be deleted from the dashboard where supported. Vault deletion should be handled carefully because documents may include certificates, records, letters, recipes, or other important files.
Private storage files should not remain publicly accessible after the related vault item is removed.
Delete AI history
AI request history may include tool type, input data, output data, status, user ID, and family ID. Users may request deletion of AI request history for a family workspace where they have appropriate authority.
Future AI provider integrations may have separate retention behavior that should be explained when those providers are activated.
Future retention policy
Family Legacy may retain limited records for security, fraud prevention, legal compliance, backups, dispute resolution, or operational needs.
A more detailed retention schedule should be finalized before broad public launch and reviewed by a qualified attorney.
How to request deletion
Send deletion requests to hello@familylegacy.family with the account email, family workspace name, and the type of data you want deleted.
For safety, Family Legacy may need to verify your identity and authority before deleting account or family workspace data.
