Your Memories Aren’t Theirs: Heirloom Resists Big Tech Surveillance
In a world where technology giants are increasingly scanning personal memories under the pretext of child protection or engagement optimization, Heirloom Cloud Corporation is proud to offer a secure, private, and ethical alternative: a Private Memory Network designed not to mine memories, but to protect them.
Unlike Big Tech platforms—many of which now use client-side scanning and automated content detection tools that can mistakenly flag family photos as criminal—Heirloom ensures your memories are stored, shared, and preserved with true digital dignity. No ad targeting. No surveillance. No manipulation.
“We believe your family’s story should be shared with those you love—not spied on by strangers,” said Geoff Weber, founder and CEO of Heirloom and a former U.S. intelligence officer. “We’re building the most trusted platform in the world for memory preservation—one that aligns with your values and safeguards your legacy.”
A Safer Place for What Matters Most
Heirloom’s platform has already helped thousands of families digitize decades of photos, film reels, and videotapes—rescuing them from fragile formats and preserving them securely in the cloud. But unlike platforms that retain backend access to user content, Heirloom uses a zero-trust design, confining employee access strictly to the digitization process.
Once your content is uploaded to your private memory vault, even Heirloom cannot see it unless you explicitly invite someone to view, contribute, or edit.
Backed by Research, Built for Relationships
Heirloom’s vision goes beyond privacy. In collaboration with Clemson University, Heirloom is exploring the positive mental health benefits of nostalgia, using well-timed memory sharing to promote joy, connection, and emotional well-being.
“Social media platforms fragment attention and exploit emotions,” Weber added. “We’re doing the opposite—curating calm, meaningful reconnection through your own family history.”
A Timely Response to Emerging Threats
Recent legislation like the EARN IT Act and failed initiatives like Apple’s NeuralHash CSAM detection system raise concerns that under the banner of child protection, governments and cloud providers are introducing systems that could be repurposed for mass surveillance.
Heirloom offers a safer, saner alternative:
- No automated scanning of your content
- No ad targeting or algorithmic manipulation
- No backdoors to encryption
- No ambiguous “best practices” that violate user trust
