Provisional beta draft — not yet in effect. Final legal review is required before families are invited.

Recording consent

Draft updated August 6, 2026.

Oraloom exists so a family’s voices are not lost. Often the most important voice belongs to someone else—an elder telling their story while you hold the phone. That makes consent part of the act of recording.

Before recording someone else

• Tell them they are being recorded and that relatives may hear the recording now and in the future.
• Make sure they agree. If they are uncomfortable, do not record.
• Nothing is captured until someone presses record, and it is shared with the family only when you choose to publish it.

What happens to a recording

• It is private to members of the family.
• It is attributed to the narrator and the person who recorded it.
• It is never used for advertising or made public by Oraloom.

Your responsibility

You are responsible for having the right to preserve the voices and images you add. Recording laws vary by place; when in doubt, ask first.
