Eteris Technology & Ethics Charter

Version 1.0 | Issued April 2025


At Eteris, we believe that safeguarding human legacy is a sacred responsibility. As custodians of deeply personal stories, emotions, and identities, we hold ourselves and our technology partners to the highest possible standards of integrity, privacy, and security.

This Charter outlines our guiding principles and operational commitments in relation to AI, data security, ethical use, and long-term legacy preservation.

1. AI with Purpose, Not Exploitation

We deploy AI models exclusively for the service of personal storytelling and emotional connection. Our voice cloning, memory modeling, and avatar systems are:

  • Trained ethically and transparently

  • Used only with the user’s full consent

  • Never resold, repurposed, or harvested for data mining or profiling

  • Continuously monitored to respect cultural, emotional, and generational sensitivities

2. Privacy-First Architecture

Every interaction with Eteris is built on secure foundations:

  • End-to-End Encryption for voice, video, and text content

  • Zero-trust architecture across all internal systems

  • Dedicated private cloud infrastructure for premium tier accounts

  • Optional biometric access control for sensitive legacy archives (Tier 4 & 5)

We will never share or monetize personal data or AI-generated stories. Privacy is not a feature—it’s our DNA.

3. Built for Digital Immortality

Legacies entrusted to Eteris deserve to be future-proof:

  • Hosted with redundant, regionally distributed infrastructure

  • Periodic data migration to future-ready formats

  • Failover and long-term archival planning (100+ year data preservation goal)

  • Supported by trusted partners in cloud, AI storage, and blockchain-backed time-stamping

We preserve not only your stories but also your peace of mind that they will endure.

4. Transparent Collaboration with Trusted Partners

We work only with technology and platform providers who share our values:

  • No third-party partnerships without due diligence and disclosure

  • All technology partners must align with ethical AI, privacy compliance, and family-friendly data policies

  • Internal Eteris Technology & Ethics Council reviews architecture quarterly

5. Accountability, Always

All Eteris staff, engineers, and creators operate under strict confidentiality protocols

Our systems and ethical AI use are audited annually

A User Legacy Rights Statement ensures families have clear governance over the use, transfer, or sunset of legacy content

“We are not just preserving data. We are protecting a voice, a soul, a legacy. Forever.”
