By entering the Registry, you are choosing to leave a permanent
testimony about your life for future generations.
Write honestly. You are not writing to impress today's world —
you are writing to be understood by tomorrow's. Write so that
someone living 300 years from now could understand what it meant
to be you.
Please read the following carefully before continuing.
What you should know
Participation is completely voluntary.
You own your words. Your testimony always belongs to you.
AllHumans is only the steward responsible for preserving it.
You may answer as many or as few questions as you wish. Every
question is optional.
We encourage you to use the name by which you are genuinely
known (your real name or at least your real first name).
Authenticity is more important than anonymity.
Any other person mentioned in your testimony should be
identified by first name only. Never include
another person's full name. Tell your story without exposing
someone else's identity.
Permanence
Once a testimony is published, it can never be edited.
Each person may publish a maximum of three
testimonies during their lifetime.
There must be a minimum of one year between
each testimony.
Every testimony is permanent once published.
Your Registry ID
Every human receives one permanent Registry ID.
Registry IDs are assigned sequentially by the system and can
never be chosen, changed, or reused.
Duplicate registrations are not permitted.
Your Registry ID belongs to you for life, even if your
testimony is later withdrawn.
Withdrawal
You may request to withdraw any testimony.
If withdrawn: the testimony will no longer be publicly
displayed; your Registry ID will never be reused; a permanent
record will show that a testimony once existed and was
withdrawn.
Please understand that copies created before your withdrawal
may continue to exist outside the official Registry. AllHumans can
update the canonical archive and cooperating preservation partners,
but cannot erase privately held copies.
Privacy
You choose how much you reveal.
Your location may be as specific or as general as you wish.
Certain answers may be sealed according to AllHumans policy.
The Registry does not include a public search
by name.
Your Registry ID is yours to keep private or share with anyone
you choose.
Another person can only find your testimony if you share your
Registry ID with them, or they discover it through the Random
Human feature.
The Registry
The Registry is not social media. There are:
no likes, no comments, no followers, no rankings, no
advertisements, no recommendation algorithm.
Every human is equal within the Registry.
Our promise
AllHumans exists to preserve authentic human testimony for as
long as possible. We cannot honestly promise "forever." We can
promise that every reasonable technical, legal and institutional
effort will be made to preserve the Registry for future
generations.
Trust is built through transparency, cryptographic verification,
independent preservation, and open governance — not through
promises alone.
Your email — where the Registry answers you
Your email is how the Registry reaches you: it is where the
outcome of your submission's review and your Registry number will
be sent. It never appears in the public record.
An email alone never grants a number — before a number is assigned,
your submission is read by a person and verified to the standard of
this era, and every record displays the standard under which it was
admitted.
Before you continue
By entering the Registry, you confirm that:
When you continue, your acceptance of these
principles — your email, your confirmations, and the time — is
recorded as the agreement between you and AllHumans.
