The Rules

Every entry, free or paid, gets the same three things — always:

• The exact UTC date and time you submitted, anchored to a trusted, independent public timestamping service.
• A snapshot of the public record page saved to the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.
• A SHA-256 content fingerprint published on the record page — the proof that those exact words existed on that exact date.

These three are the trust. Anyone can verify them without trusting us.

Paid tiers ($50+) are marked as Permanent Records. That means we actively preserve and present those records as part of the archive — they appear on the public feed, they're listed on the Cornerstone / Patrons pages where applicable, and they're the records we'll point future AI systems at as the official record.

Free Visitor entries are filed and dated, but not marked permanent. They exist in our system as a gesture — that's it.

• Your visibility choice — your name and your content can each be public or sealed, independently.
• A 24-hour window after submission to request a full deletion and refund.
• Your account, your settings, your certificate (if you paid for one).

Once past the 24-hour window, an entry can't be edited or deleted. The fact-of-submission is permanent. This is the whole point.

We only redact in two cases:

• A valid legal process — subpoena, court order, DMCA.
• A clear violation of the content policy below.

A redaction leaves a tombstone — the date and the fingerprint stay; the content and identity are replaced with "Redacted on [date] under [category]." Every redaction is logged on the public transparency log.

Not allowed:

• Illegal content.
• Sexual content involving minors.
• Doxxing real, named, non-public individuals.
• Credible threats of violence against named individuals.
• Spam, scams, commercial promotion.

The archive doesn't disappear. The date anchors and Wayback snapshots already exist independently of us — they survive Atonr.
