December is the month of memories, full tables and also, inevitably, empty seats. And because of its specialty of bringing families, people, lives and special moments together, it is also the month when we take more photos, record more videos, share more messages than the rest of the year.
It's not (just) poetry: the data tell us. According to Meta, between Christmas and New Year there is an average 30-40 percent increase in content shared between feeds, stories and private messages.
In addition, smartphone cameras record an annual spike in usage: up to 25 percent more photos are taken in December than the average for the previous months (source: Statista). We are a generation that documents everything: dinner tables, toasts, hugs, growing children (ouch!), travel, family rituals. We create digital traces of immense emotional value.
But there is a question that more and more people are beginning to ask themselves.
What will happen to these memories when we are gone? Who will be able to retrieve them? Who will be able to dispose of them? Who will be able to prevent their exploitation, duplication, manipulation or use by prividers and algorithms who will never know our history?
The truth is this: if it remains on the platforms, our digital legacy does not really belong to us.
Photos, messages, chats, videos, posts, documents in the cloud: everything that tells the story of a person's life ends up scattered, bound by corporate policies, stored in automated systems.
According to Digital Beyond, more than 90 percent of the digital profiles of the deceased remain abandoned or locked, becoming ghost profiles vulnerable to scams, impersonations, deepfakes or unauthorized use. It happens to celebrities.
It happens to managers, influencers, politicians. And it happens, above all, to ordinary people, every day. Meanwhile, at thetable, those empty seats remain empty. And the memory of those missing remains trapped in someone else's servers.
Just as one inherits an object, a letter or a photograph, the law also allows us to inherit a loved one's digital legacy: photos and video messages texts audio documents public and private content.
Instead, we end up with a paradox: platforms full of files and families with emotional gaps impossible to fill except with digital inheritance.
Zephorum was created for this: to give people and families back control of their digital memories.
It is a platform to: retrieve data, photos, content and profiles export and sort them ethically and permanently close the deceased's accounts guarantee to family members what is theirs by right protect digital dignity, today and in the future.
