Privacy & Consent Policy.
At Legacy Narratives, we are committed to safeguarding your personal information, your stories, and your images. The trust you place in us is deeply valued, and we take every care to ensure your privacy is protected throughout the process of creating your Legacy Narrative.
1. Personal Information & Story Content
We collect personal information solely for the purpose of creating your Legacy Narrative book. This may include interviews, written submissions, correspondence, photographs, and biographical details.
Ownership: You remain the owner of all personal content and stories shared with us.
Use: Your material will only be used for creating your commissioned book, unless you provide explicit, written consent for any other purpose (e.g. promotional use).
Storage: All information is stored securely and only accessed by those working directly on your project.
Sharing: We do not share your information with third parties unless required by law or at your written request.
2. Photographs
We understand that photos are an important and often deeply personal part of your story. Here's how we handle them:
Use in Your Book: Photos you provide will be used only in your Legacy Narrative book or digital project, as per your instructions.
Consent for Other Use: If we would like to use a photo in any other context (e.g. on our website or social media), we will request your written permission first.
Editing: Minor photo enhancements (e.g. cropping, colour correction) may be applied to improve clarity, unless you specify otherwise.
3. Confidentiality
Every Legacy Narrative is created in a spirit of respect and confidentiality.
Your stories are yours. We will never publish or share them without your clear, informed consent.
All team members involved in your project are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.
4. Consent
By choosing to work with Legacy Narratives, you acknowledge and agree to the respectful handling of your personal information and photos as outlined above, and that you have the right to share the photos with us. You will also be provided with a simple Consent Form at the start of the project, allowing you to specify:
Whether you permit us to use anonymised excerpts or images from your book for promotional purposes.
Any boundaries or sensitivities we should be aware of.
Whether certain material is for private family use only.
You may amend or revoke your consent at any time during the process.
We’re honoured to help preserve your story, and we take that responsibility seriously.
