At LiveYourBook, we believe your stories are deeply personal — and they deserve care, respect, and protection. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have when using LiveYourBook.
By using our website and services, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you have any questions, we’re always happy to help — you’ll find our contact details at the end of this page.
Your Stories & Ownership
Your stories belong to you. Always.
LiveYourBook exists to help you preserve life stories — not to profit from them. We do not sell, license, or reuse your stories, photos, voice recordings, or books for advertising, marketing, or AI training purposes.
• You retain full ownership of all content you create
• Nothing is shared or printed without your permission
• You control who can read, download, or order your book
• Even if your subscription ends, your stories remain yours.
Photos & Uploaded Content
We collect images and other content that you choose to upload to LiveYourBook. This may include:
• Profile photos
• Images attached to stories
• Photos added to your book
Uploaded content is stored securely and used only to provide LiveYourBook services — such as displaying stories, enabling sharing with invited readers, and printing your memoir.
We never sell or use your photos for advertising or promotional purposes.
Voice Recordings & Transcriptions
LiveYourBook allows you to record stories by voice as an alternative to writing.
• Voice recordings are securely stored
• Recordings are transcribed solely to create your memoir
• Transcriptions can be edited or deleted at any time
• Voice data is not reviewed by humans unless support is requested
Your recordings are never reused, shared, or analyzed beyond delivering the service you requested.
Social Media Connections
If you choose to connect a social media account, we may receive limited public profile information such as your name or profile picture.
• Connecting social accounts is optional
• We never post on your behalf
• We do not access private messages or contacts
Information from third-party platforms is handled according to this Privacy Policy and the privacy settings of those platforms.

Backups & Data Access
Your stories are yours to keep — forever.
You can request a backup of all your stories at any time. Once ready, we’ll email you a download link so you can store your memories safely offline.
