DayCasion AI Processing & Consent Policy
Effective date: October 30, 2026
This policy explains exactly when DayCasion uses artificial intelligence (AI), what information is involved, who processes it and how you control it. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
1. Our approach
- DayCasion uses OpenAI for two optional features: Year in Review and the Legacy Executor Eulogy, which is written using AI.
- Each Year in Review order requires fresh, affirmative AI-processing consent tied to that order. Consent from an earlier movie order is not reused. Eulogy permission is separate from Year in Review consent and from payment. It is requested before you purchase Eulogy or the Complete Legacy Package and is managed with the Share Eulogy and No Eulogy choices in Settings > Legacy Executor.
- For AI requests, we do not intentionally provide customer email addresses, payment-card details or account passwords.
- DayCasion does not use customer memories to train its own models and does not intentionally authorize OpenAI to train models on this API content.
- Basic memories, Life Stories, Add Past Memories, timelines and standard downloads do not use AI.
2. Year in Review
Service. A separately purchased movie for one memory profile and either a completed calendar year or rolling twelve-month period.
What OpenAI receives: memory titles, written stories, dates and chapter names; the selected profile's name and category; relevant Life Story names and relationship; lower-resolution photo copies; the count and duration of voice and video recordings associated with each memory; whether a memory is marked must-include; and whether it belongs to a Life Story. OpenAI does not receive the original videos, voice or audio recordings, original full-resolution media, customer email, account credentials or payment information for this feature.
What OpenAI does: provides visual descriptions and assists with selecting memories and generating on-screen narrative text. These outputs may be imperfect. DayCasion performs automated checks and the finished movie is reviewed by an authorized person before delivery.
Shotstack rendering: Shotstack is a video-production service, not the AI story-writing provider. It receives links valid for approximately three hours to the chosen original photos, videos and audio recordings, and the on-screen text required to assemble the movie. Some render-request metadata may remain in Shotstack's own records under its terms after the hosted output is deleted.
Consent and choices: every movie order requires a separate, affirmative consent, recorded against that order with its disclosure version. No previous consent is reused. Before payment you can cancel without purchasing. After payment, while production has not started, the app offers Cancel order, which revokes that order's consent and stops its production. This cancellation window may last only a few minutes. Once processing has started, contact info@daycasion.com to request assistance. A paid-order cancellation does not automatically generate a refund; request a refund through Apple or Google, subject to their rules and applicable law. We cannot undo processing already completed by independent providers.
Storage: the produced movie, storyboard, generated descriptions and consent record remain private in DayCasion until removed or the account is deleted. DayCasion's account-deletion cleanup removes controlled movie and preview files; independent provider records may remain for their limited purposes.
3. Life Stories
Life Stories do not use AI. DayCasion does not transcribe recordings or write biographies with AI. If we offer such a feature in future, we will describe it here and ask for your separate, explicit permission first.
Information you record in a Life Story is used by AI only within the two features above:
- Year in Review uses Life Story names and your stated relationship.
- The Eulogy (written using AI) uses the full Life Story of your My Life profile.
4. Legacy Executor and the Eulogy (written using AI)
Eulogy is an optional one-time, non-recurring purchase (on its own or in the Complete Legacy Package). Because the eulogy is written using AI, it needs your explicit permission, which is separate from payment:
- Asked before purchase. When you buy Eulogy or the Complete Legacy Package, the app first asks for the AI permission described below. If you decline, the purchase does not start and you are not charged.
- Recorded only after a successful purchase. Your permission is recorded only once the purchase succeeds, and Share Eulogy is then selected in Settings > Legacy Executor. If the purchase is cancelled or fails, no permission is recorded.
- Withdrawing. You can choose No Eulogy at any time while your Legacy choices can still be changed. This withdraws your permission straight away; you keep your Eulogy purchase.
- Renewing. Choosing Share Eulogy again asks for your permission again; an earlier permission is not reused.
- When it is used. A eulogy is written only if Eulogy is purchased and Share Eulogy is selected when the 24-hour stop period ends. If the purchase is refunded or No Eulogy is selected before then, nothing is sent and no eulogy is written.
If Eulogy is purchased and permitted, DayCasion may send written memories and Life Story details from your My Life profile to OpenAI after an authorized legacy activation and a 24-hour stop period. This can include memory titles, stories, dates, chapter names, profile name, and Life Story names, relationship, birth details and other information you recorded. Original photos, video, audio recordings and other profiles' memories are not sent for the eulogy.
OpenAI generates a eulogy from the written records. The result is subject to automated controls intended to reduce invented events, but it may contain errors and is not routinely reviewed by DayCasion staff before authorized delivery. The executor receives the eulogy according to your Legacy Executor preferences. Your Legacy choices remain editable until the 24-hour stop period ends, so you can choose No Eulogy until then; after it ends, your choices are fixed for that legacy process.
Full Legacy Access does not use AI: it shares only the profiles and kinds of material you choose and save under Full Legacy Access, and nothing if you choose Don't share memories.
Deleting your account revokes remaining online executor access and deletes eulogy records controlled by DayCasion; it cannot erase copies already received by the executor.
5. How OpenAI handles the data
Our API requests are configured not to request stored responses for the features described above. OpenAI's applicable business-data terms generally exclude training on API content unless specifically authorized. Limited safety, abuse-monitoring or legal retention can still apply under the provider's terms, account settings and relevant endpoint behavior. For provider details, see OpenAI's API data controls.
6. Accuracy
AI-generated narratives can contain errors, omissions or interpretations that do not reflect your original memories. Contact info@daycasion.com about a delivered movie or eulogy that is inaccurate or upsetting. DayCasion may offer a correction or remake where feasible; movie refund requests are subject to the platform's rules and applicable law.
7. Other people in your memories
Your memories may include other people, including children. Before authorizing AI processing, consider your right to submit those materials and whether their information should appear in a movie. You control which profile and date period an order covers, and may mark up to 50 memories as must-include, subject to order eligibility.
8. Changes
If we add an AI feature, change AI providers, or send new kinds of information, we will update this policy. We will ask for your permission again before the change applies to you.

Data minimization and processor roles
OpenAI receives low-resolution visual previews and the described text/metadata for story direction; Shotstack receives the original selected media through temporary URLs for rendering. The two providers serve different purposes, and consent must name both. An authorization for a eulogy does not authorize a movie, and consent to one movie must not be silently reused for another.
Errors, objection and paid-order remedies
For an undelivered Year in Review movie after production starts, contact info@daycasion.com promptly to request help or to object to further processing. We will review the production status, attempt a reasonable correction or remake where appropriate, and help you use Apple or Google refund channels if delivery cannot be completed. Provider processing already performed cannot necessarily be reversed. The Subscription, Refund & Digital Products Policy explains store refund procedures.
