Private by default
A Trove is not a public feed. Only the people invited into the Story can enter it.

Private by default.
Human by design.
A shared Story can only feel safe when every person understands who can see it, who controls it and what happens to their contribution.
Your contribution stays yours
OpenTrove recognises who added each perspective. Participation does not erase ownership.
The host controls access
The person responsible for the Trove manages invitations and membership with clear, visible controls.
AI helps. Your Story stays yours.
OpenTrove can help arrange what people shared. It does not invent memories or overwrite human contribution.
Export anytime
Your Story should never depend on being trapped in one product. Keep a copy whenever you choose.
Delete anytime
People need a clear way to leave, remove their account and understand what happens next.
