What LINEAGE is

LINEAGE is a private legacy platform that helps you capture voice reflections and transform them into written entries stored in your personal vault. It is operated by Ashley Lourey, Australia.

What we collect

• Email address — used for sign-in and to send you optional re-engagement emails.
• Voice recordings — uploaded to process your entry. Stored in private cloud storage, accessible only to you.
• Transcripts and transformed content — generated by AI from your recordings. Stored in your private vault, accessible only to you.
• Usage data — entry timestamps, output types, and themes. Used to run the product and surface patterns in your vault.

How we use it

• To run the transcription and transformation pipeline (Groq Whisper, Anthropic Claude).
• To store and display your vault entries.
• To send transactional emails — entry confirmation and optional re-engagement nudges. You can unsubscribe from any email with one click.
• We do not sell your data. We do not use your content for AI training. We do not share your recordings or entries with third parties.
