Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

Forever Spoken is a family memorial pilot project, presented in connection with the book The Magnificent 7 Sisterhood: A Legacy of Family Unity and Love by Dwayne Robinson. The site is operated by TIA Publishing, LLC. References to "we," "us," and "our" mean Forever Spoken and TIA Publishing, LLC. References to "you" and "your" mean any person who visits the site, contributes a memory, or speaks with a sister persona.

2. Information We Collect

We only collect what is needed to honor a sister and to communicate with you about your contribution.

Information you provide directly:

• Your name, email address, and your relationship to the sister you are remembering.
• Written memories, stories, recipes, and other text you submit.
• Photographs, scanned letters, documents, and other artifacts you upload.
• Voice recordings, audio messages, and video clips you choose to share.
• Conversational input you speak or type while visiting an Interactive Avatar.

Information collected automatically:

• Basic technical data such as browser type, device type, approximate region, and pages visited.
• Anonymous logs that help us keep the site stable and secure.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide to:

• Enrich the Forever Spoken persona of the sister you remember.
• Allow approved family members to read, listen to, and respond to your contribution.
• Send a thank-you and, where appropriate, a follow-up question to clarify a memory.
• Improve the accuracy of an Interactive Avatar so she sounds more like herself.
• Maintain a respectful, secure, and reliable site experience.

We do not sell your information. We do not use your contributions for advertising. We do not allow your stories to be used to train commercial AI models elsewhere.

4. How We Share Information

Your contributions are shared in three carefully limited ways:

• With family. Approved family members may read your memory and listen to your recordings as part of the family circle.
• With the persona. Your contribution may be used to inform a sister's Interactive Avatar so future visitors hear an answer faithful to the truth you shared.
• With service providers. Trusted vendors who host files, deliver email, or power the AI conversation engine may process limited information on our behalf, under written confidentiality and data protection terms.

We will not share your information with the public, with advertisers, or with any party outside the family circle without your explicit consent.

5. Personas and Your Contributions

An Interactive Avatar is a respectful AI representation of a real woman who lived a real life. Your stories help her speak in her own voice, with her own values, about the things she actually cared about.

• The personas are designed to default to "I don't know" when a question goes beyond the verified record.
• The personas will not invent biographical facts, medical history, or financial details.
• The personas will not be sold, licensed, or repurposed outside this Forever Spoken project.
• Every conversation is logged so the family can review and refine the persona over time.

6. Family Access Controls

Each sister's persona has a defined access circle established by her family:

• Family circle: full access, read and listen, contribute and review.
• Approved interlocutors: named friends and community members invited by the family.
• Public: curated highlights only, never private memories or unreleased recordings.
• Time-locked content: certain memories may be released on anniversaries or other family-chosen dates.

7. Your Rights and Choices

You may, at any time, ask us to:

• Confirm what you have submitted.
• Correct a factual error in your contribution.
• Withdraw your consent and remove your contribution from the persona's training set.
• Delete your name and contact information from our records.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@tiapublishingllc.com. We will respond within thirty (30) days.

8. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including encrypted transmission, access controls limited to the family review team, and secure storage with reputable cloud providers. No system is perfectly secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You should keep a personal copy of any irreplaceable photo, letter, or recording you upload.

9. Children's Privacy

Forever Spoken is intended for adults and for minors with the involvement of a parent or guardian. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under thirteen (13) without verifiable parental consent. If you believe a child has submitted information, please contact us and we will remove it.

10. Third-Party Services

To deliver the experience, we work with carefully chosen vendors. These may include:

• Web hosting and content delivery providers.
• Email and notification services.
• Conversational AI providers used to power the Interactive Avatars.
• Voice partners that help carry a sister's voice forward, working only from authorized recordings.

Each provider is bound by contract to handle your information only for the purposes of operating Forever Spoken and to protect it with appropriate safeguards.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as the project evolves. When we do, we will revise the "Effective Date" at the top of this page and, where the change is significant, notify contributors by email. Continued use of the site after a change indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
