Community Guidelines

Family content shared on The Legacy Index is private by default. Just because content is shared within your family network doesn't mean it's yours to share outside of it.

Do not screenshot, download, or re-share family members' personal content without their knowledge or consent. Photos of children, memorial content, personal letters, and legacy messages deserve particular care.

Respect the visibility settings others have set for their content. If someone has kept something private, honor that choice.

Only upload content that you have the right to share. This includes photos, videos, documents, and recordings involving other people — particularly minors, deceased relatives, or sensitive family situations.

If you're uploading content that includes other family members, consider whether they would be comfortable with it being preserved and shared in this way. Consent matters, even within families.

Do not upload illegal content, explicit material, or anything designed to harm, embarrass, or expose another person.

Families are complicated. Histories are complicated. The Legacy Index is a space where generations come together, which means people with different values, memories, and perspectives will sometimes share the same spaces.

Treat other family members — even those you may be estranged from or have complicated relationships with — with basic human dignity.

Harassment, threats, intimidation, or targeted hostility are never acceptable on The Legacy Index.

The Legacy Index often holds deeply emotional content: memorials for loved ones who have passed, legacy messages from parents to children, photos from harder chapters of life.

Treat sensitive content with the weight it deserves. Do not mock, misrepresent, or distort memories belonging to others. Do not interfere with memorial content or legacy spaces that belong to other family members.

If you come across content that feels wrong or out of place, use the report function rather than engaging directly.

Family networks on The Legacy Index are formed by invitation and consent. Do not attempt to access family networks or content spaces you have not been invited to.

Families sometimes include members with legal restrictions — such as custody arrangements or restraining orders. The Legacy Index is not designed to circumvent legal or personal boundaries. If you are using the platform in a way that violates someone's legal protections, your account may be suspended.

Disagree with a family member? Please handle it offline. The Legacy Index is for preserving legacy, not for resolving family disputes.

The Legacy Index takes the safety of minors exceptionally seriously. Any content that sexualizes, exploits, or endangers children is strictly prohibited and will be reported to appropriate authorities.

Parents and guardians are responsible for managing how their children appear in family content. Use the privacy settings to control who can see photos and information involving minors.

Every story you preserve, every photo you upload, every message you write — it's a gift to the people who come after you. Use that context to guide how you show up on this platform.

The Legacy Index is designed to last across generations. The content you add today may be something a grandchild discovers decades from now. Build something worthy of that moment.

"Your memories remain yours. The legacy you build here belongs to your family — forever."
