Is LifePages safe? Your data and your family's stories
A memoir service holds some of the most personal things a family owns. LifePages' privacy policy is the best-documented one we have read in this category, and here is what it promises.
Yes, LifePages is safe to use. It operates under the EU's GDPR, names its data controller, lists the processors it uses, and publishes a specific retention period for each kind of data. You can ask for your data to be erased, and the copyright in everything you write stays with you.
The facts, in brief
| Data protection law | EU GDPR, with all ten data-subject rights including erasure |
| Data controller | The operating company, named in the privacy policy |
| Named processors | Including PostHog (analytics) and Meta (advertising) |
| Retention | Purchase data up to 5 years after the service ends; messaging 2 years; correspondence 6 months; device data 2 years |
| Transfers outside the EEA | Covered by standard contractual clauses |
| Copyright in your stories | Stays with you |
What the privacy policy commits to
Most consumer apps say they keep data “as long as necessary”. LifePages gives actual periods for each class of data, names the companies that process it, and sets out the GDPR rights you can use, including access, correction and erasure.
It is also open about advertising: it names Meta as an advertising recipient, something most competitors never disclose at all.
Who owns what you write
You do. LifePages states that the copyright in your stories stays with you. The book, the words and the recordings are your family's, not the company's.
Paying safely
The checkout does not preselect a payment method and does not add one-click charges after you pay. If you change your mind, the 30-day money-back guarantee refunds you in full, for any reason.
