Data Ownership Policy

Effective Date: 01/01/2024

At Lightover Inc., we believe that your data should belong entirely to you. As the creator, curator, and contributor of your digital family media, you are the rightful owner of the content you upload, store, and manage through our platform. This Data Ownership Policy outlines our commitment to ensuring that you retain full control, autonomy, and rights over your personal data.

1. User Ownership of Content
All photos, videos, documents, and other media content you upload or create within the Lightover ecosystem—whether stored on our servers or through your Personal Online Datastore (POD)—remain your property. We do not claim any intellectual property rights to your content. You decide how it is accessed, shared, and preserved.

2. Control Over Data Storage
Our platform is designed around the SOLID data storage framework, which grants you the authority to determine where and how your data is stored. You may choose to keep your data on our secure servers or manage it in a way that best suits your comfort and privacy needs. This flexibility ensures that you dictate the terms of data management and access at all times.

3. Transparency and Consent
Your consent is central to every aspect of data management within the Lightover ecosystem. Before uploading, sharing, or enhancing any media, you will be provided with clear options and settings. It is always your choice to grant or revoke access, allowing you to tailor data usage according to your preferences.

4. Data Sharing and Access Permissions
You control who can view or interact with your content. You may invite family members, friends, or trusted individuals to access certain files or collections, and you can revoke this access whenever you desire. Lightover Inc. does not share, sell, or rent your data to third parties without your explicit permission, except when compelled by law or legal process.

5. Privacy by Design
Our SOLID-based framework and security measures are implemented to protect your data at every stage. We incorporate end-to-end encryption, secure authentication, and rigorous compliance standards to ensure that your data is safeguarded against unauthorized access. Our focus on privacy and security serves to reinforce your data ownership and control.

6. Portability and Permanence
Your data is not locked into any single environment. The ability to store and manage your data as you choose ensures long-term accessibility and independence. Even as technologies evolve, our commitment is to ensure that your data remains yours, not bound by platform or provider constraints.

7. User Responsibility and Compliance
As the owner of your data, you bear responsibility for the legality and appropriateness of the content you upload. You agree to only use content to which you hold the necessary rights and to respect the privacy and rights of others when sharing media.

8. Updates to This Policy
As our services evolve, we may revise this Data Ownership Policy to reflect improvements in technology, changes in regulations, or enhancements to our platform. Any changes will be communicated by updating the “Effective Date” above, and we encourage you to review this policy periodically.
