The story behind Logout

We spend much of our lives online. We leave photos, videos, emails, blogs, and social media posts behind. Yet few people know what happens to those records after death or what their families are allowed to do.

Each company has a different process and philosophy. Some let people appoint a legacy contact in advance, some preserve memorialized accounts, and others only support account deletion. Policies can also be difficult to find or understand.

That is why I created this project.

Logout brings scattered digital legacy policies together so that anyone can understand the official process and find the next step. We are starting with major services used in Korea and hope to expand to more countries and platforms.

I built this project while thinking about the people I love.

We prepare wills and insurance in advance. Shouldn’t we also be able to organize our digital traces before the end of life?

Digital legacy is still an evolving area of law and policy. We hope this project can become a small starting point for a wider conversation.
