Data minimization
Collect only what is needed for membership, orientation, community safety, and program delivery.
Trust must be designed into the experience
Yahlife asks people to share meaningful information about identity, heritage, family, location, and community interest. That requires plain privacy expectations, strong boundaries, and responsible member conduct.

This page should be plain, not buried in legal language. Visitors need to understand what is public, what is private, what is reviewed, and who to contact with concerns.
Collect only what is needed for membership, orientation, community safety, and program delivery.
Clearly separate public content, logged-in member content, private groups, and sensitive support channels.
Explain when profiles, names, posts, contributions, or event participation may be visible to others.
Publish conduct expectations, moderation rights, reporting paths, and consequences for harmful behavior.
Ancestry, family history, identity questions, and reconnection stories can be deeply personal. Yahlife should treat these as sensitive community information and avoid using them casually, publicly, or commercially without clear permission.
Before visitors submit an application, event registration, support request, or heritage form, place a short notice explaining what information is collected, why it is collected, who may review it, and how the visitor can ask questions.
Publish privacy, conduct, and safety expectations before inviting deeper membership participation.
