Your Archive. Your Terms.Your Inheritance.
Four commitments. Absolute. Structural.
Tenet 01
Your archive is yours. Not ours.
Absolute Ownership
From the moment of creation, your archive is yours. Not licensed to you. Not held in trust by us on your behalf. Owned by you.
We do not have a claim on your archive's content, commercial value, or intellectual property. Heritage Nexus Inc. provides the infrastructure. You own what is built on it.
At your direction, your ownership of the archive can be named in your estate plan, with the help of your attorney. Your ownership of your archive content is not a marketing claim. It is the foundational principle of how Heritage Nexus Inc. operates.
Tenet 02
Your memory is not a product.
No Commercial Use
Heritage Nexus Inc. will never use the content of your archive to train AI models, inform advertising, generate commercial derivatives, or enrich any dataset beyond the one we are building for you.
This prohibition is absolute. It applies to your photographs, voice recordings, written materials, family annotations, and entity interactions. None of it will be used to benefit any party other than you and your designated beneficiaries.
We built Basalith in direct opposition to the model the technology industry has normalized, one in which your personal data is extracted, generalized, and sold. We have no interest in that model. We have structural commitments that prevent us from pursuing it even if we wanted to.
Tenet 03
You decide who inherits. You decide for how long.
Defined Continuity
You determine the terms of your archive's continuity during your lifetime. Who may access it. Who may contribute to it. Under what conditions your entity may be queried. For how long after your death it remains active.
You name a Custodian to carry out these terms. Legal authority over your estate comes from your own will or trust, so name your Custodian there as well if you want their authority to be enforceable.
No representative of Heritage Nexus Inc. can override the continuity terms you set. No acquisition, restructuring, or change in our business alters them. This commitment binds any company that acquires Heritage Nexus Inc. assets, and it is stated in our Terms of Service.
Tenet 04
You can close the archive. Permanently.
Right of Dissolution
At any time, you or your designated Custodian may invoke the Right of Dissolution. This is a request for the permanent deletion of your archive. It is separate from canceling a subscription, and it is verified before anything is deleted.
Dissolution is irreversible. Your archive is copied to a second location so that a failure at one provider cannot lose it. An archive that has requested dissolution leaves that copy scope and is not copied again. The offsite copy is deleted as part of the deletion, on the same written process, not left behind.
A dissolution request must be verified before it proceeds. After it is verified, Heritage Nexus holds the archive for 12 months, then deletes it and confirms in writing. Your archive is never sold, never shared with third parties, and never used to train another person's entity. That holds while the archive is live and after it is gone.
“We did not build a platform with a privacy policy. We built an institution with a constitution.”
These commitments exist independently of your subscription. They survive cancellation, corporate change, and time. If you are ready to begin, we are.
