Before launch. Last updated 14 November 2026. This is the text we are building to. A lawyer reads it before the first family pays for a line, and it may change until then.
Who we are
AFTERLINE makes a phone line that answers in the voice of someone who has died, for the family that asks for it. AFTERLINE is being set up as a company in Lithuania. Its registered name, address and a contact for data requests will be listed here before the first line is opened for a paying family.
What we hold for a line
- About the person who died: their name, dates, a photograph, recordings of their voice, the interview the family gives about how they spoke, and the week they kept.
- About the circle (the people the family allows to call): the name, relation and phone number of each person, and the time each of them agreed.
- From the line itself: who called or wrote and when, what was said, voicemails, and short notes the line keeps so that it remembers each caller.
- Consent records: who consented for image, voice and data, in which role, and which version of the disclosure they read.
What we hold if you only visit this site
Nothing that identifies you, unless you leave an email with one of the store buttons. That address is kept for one purpose: a single message when the app is out. After that message it is deleted. It is not added to a newsletter.
This site sets no advertising cookies and runs no tracking scripts.
Why we are allowed to hold it
A line is built only with the consent of the family: the spouse, the parents and the children. Each member of the circle also gives explicit consent for their own conversations, because those can say a great deal about a person. Any of them can withdraw it.
What we never do with it
- We do not sell it or share it for advertising.
- We do not use one family’s recordings or conversations to build anything for anyone else.
- We do not measure or try to increase how often or how long people call.
- We do not let the voice be reached by anyone outside the circle.
Who else handles it
Running a line needs a few suppliers: a telephone carrier for the number, calls and messages; a voice provider for the replica voice; a language model provider for replies; a video provider for video calls; and cloud hosting in the European Union for storage. Each receives only what its part needs. The exact list of suppliers will be published here at launch.
How long, and how it ends
A line’s data is kept while the line is open. The Last Call deletes the voice, the recordings, the conversations and what the line remembered, and the family receives a record of what was destroyed. A suspended line keeps its data until it is reopened or ended. Billing records are kept for as long as accounting law requires.
Your rights
If you are in the circle, you can see what the line holds about you, have it corrected, take a copy, and have it deleted. You can suspend the line alone at any time. You can also complain to your data protection authority. In Lithuania that is the State Data Protection Inspectorate.
Children
A person under 18 can be in a circle only with a guardian present when the line is set up, and the guardian agrees on their behalf.
Changes
If this text changes in a way that matters, every family with an open line is told in the dashboard before the change applies.
