Digital Grandpa stories are distinct from Beacon data and accounts.
Consent before publication

Stories should be held with care.

A living archive is being built deliberately. There is no public story-submission form in phase one.

How a future story may be considered

  1. The contributor chooses whether to share a story at all.
  2. Its purpose, attribution preference, and intended audience are discussed in plain language.
  3. A human editor reviews the story for accuracy, context, privacy, and dignity.
  4. The contributor reviews the public form before publication.
  5. A documented removal path remains available after publication.
No implied permission. A private conversation, email, comment, or audience interaction is not consent to publish a person’s story.

What will not be collected here

Digital Grandpa is not accepting health histories, crisis narratives, legal case files, financial records, or personal identifying information through this site. A future contributor process will be introduced only after a property-specific privacy notice, consent record, secure intake path, retention policy, and named human steward are approved.
