Never Sold, Never Shared
We will never sell your family's data or share it with advertisers. Your private memories stay private. Period.
Frequently Asked Questions
Only members you explicitly invite to your family can view your entries. Each family is a private, isolated space. No one outside your family — including MAI Legacy staff — browses your content.
