Permission before propagation
Nothing moves to another person just because an assistant learned it. Every share starts with your explicit yes.
Security & privacy
FamRelay exists for controlled sharing, not broad collection. Every item is approved by you, encrypted on its own, delivered only to the people you choose, and recorded so you can always see exactly what moved.
Trust is the product
These aren’t settings you have to find. They’re how FamRelay works, every time you share.
Nothing moves to another person just because an assistant learned it. Every share starts with your explicit yes.
Only the details you approve are transferred — the fact, never the conversation. Each part of FamRelay sees only what it needs to do its job.
Nothing becomes part of someone’s assistant silently. Recipients see who shared an item and choose to accept it.
Correct, expire or revoke any item, just by asking your assistant. Changes reach every connected recipient.
Every item shows its sender, source, timing and changes. No silent updates, ever.
No whole-memory sync. Contact details, attachments and other sensitive categories start switched off and need an extra confirmation.
Layer by layer
Follow one item — say, the time and place of a christening — from the moment you say “send it” to the moment you stop sharing it.
Your assistant shows exactly which details, for whom, and for how long. Nothing is created until you confirm.
Each item is encrypted with its own unique key. That key is then locked separately for each person you approved — so access follows your consent exactly.
Everything moves over encrypted connections. Notifications only say “something is waiting” — they never carry your details.
Each recipient’s assistant signs in with its own scoped permission and can only unlock items shared with that person.
When a share expires or you revoke it, the recipient’s key is removed, future access stops, and connected assistants are told to delete it.
Plain truth about revoking: it stops all future access and removes the item from connected assistants, but no technology can make a person forget something they’ve already read, or delete a copy they made elsewhere. That’s why FamRelay helps you share only what’s needed in the first place.
Straight answers
What enters FamRelay, and when?
Only an item you approve, at the moment you approve it. Your conversations, your assistant’s memory and your other files never enter FamRelay.
Is my information encrypted?
Yes — in transit and at rest. Every item has its own encryption key, and that key is locked separately for each recipient you approve. Remove someone, and their key goes with them.
Who can see a shared item?
Only the people you chose, through the assistants they’ve connected. Each assistant has its own narrowly scoped permission, and you can disconnect an assistant at any time.
How long is my information kept?
Only as long as you decide. Every share has a lifespan you set; when it expires or you revoke it, it’s removed from active storage and deleted on a defined schedule.
Is my data sold or used to train AI?
No. We don’t sell your information, and shared items are never used to train AI models. The small set of infrastructure providers we rely on is listed in our privacy notice.
What happens if something goes wrong?
We investigate every report sent to security@famrelay.ai and tell affected people promptly and plainly — what happened, what it means for them, and what we’ve done about it.
Claims we won’t make
Good security is specific. We’d rather tell you exactly how your information is protected than lean on vague reassurance.
Built for everyday coordination
Events, pickups, travel windows, appointments and handoffs are what FamRelay does best. Some information belongs in specialised, regulated systems instead, so FamRelay isn’t designed for:
