Core data policy
Understand memory privacy, default sharing, and Ember's basic data posture.
Session and memory privacy
You are always in control of your memory privacy.
Each memory can stay private, be shared with a circle, or be shared more broadly based on your settings.
Your default privacy setting is managed in /people/me, and you can adjust privacy at the
memory level when starting or completing a session.
Default session privacy settings
You manage your privacy settings by going to your profile settings in /people/me and
setting your default session privacy, which can be one of:
- Private, where only you can access memories by default
- The circle you are a part of
- All circles you are a part of
- Public, where anyone with the link can listen to and view your memories
Memory-specific session settings
In addition to your default privacy settings, you can select the privacy for a specific memory.
You can set privacy for a specific memory at two points:
- at the beginning of a session, before you start
- after completing a session, when you are prompted to confirm or edit the privacy
View, edit, and delete completed sessions
To view, edit, or delete memories, go to /memories and find the memory.
From there, you can:
- click play to listen to the audio recording from the memories page
- click into a memory card to view session notes, upload session artifacts, and comment on or like the memory
- click the trash can icon in the top-right of the memory card to delete it
Data policy
Our full legal policies live here:
Data security
We design Ember with privacy and security in mind from day one.
We use layered controls to protect memory content, including restricted access paths, encryption, and audit logging.
Data access
Ember staff do not have routine access to private memory content.
In rare cases, such as support you request or a security incident, access may be granted through a controlled process that is limited, approved, and time-bound.
Data jurisdiction
Ember is a U.S.-based company and is subject to applicable U.S. law.
If we receive valid legal process, we may be required to disclose data consistent with legal requirements.
