Story Use & Reuse

Hi, I’m Pteyra — creator of Library of Human Experience.

When someone shares their story here, they’re trusting me with something deeply personal: their words, their experiences, their perspective.

So I want to be clear about how these stories can be used, and how their rights are protected.

These terms apply to stories published on this platform and its official channels.

📌 What counts as a story

A story refers to the full published piece, including:

The participant’s responses
The guiding questions
Editing and formatting

🟣 Who owns the story

Participants own their stories — fully.

Their words, their experience, and the final published version all belong to them.

My role is to shape and present the story with care. In doing so, I do not take ownership of their content.

Participants also give permission for their story to be published and shared through this platform.

They are free to:

republish their story anywhere
share it however they choose
license it to anyone independently

🟢 Simple guidelines for use

You can:

Share links to full stories
Talk about stories in your own words

For any use involving the actual text, please request permission.

🔐 How permission requests work

Participants control how their stories are used.

If you’d like to reuse part of a story:

Submit a request with details about how you’d like to use it
I review and route the request based on the participant’s preferences
If it’s forwarded, you’ll connect directly with them
Any agreement is entirely between you and the participant
I don’t take any fees or control these decisions.

⚙️ Participant preferences

When submitting a story, participants choose how they want requests handled:

Forward all requests
Forward only paid opportunities
Do not forward requests

These preferences only affect what gets passed along through this platform.

Participants can still choose to handle opportunities independently at any time.

🔒 Why this matters

Every story here belongs to the person who lived it.

If you want to use it, their consent comes first.

You can’t use someone’s story unless they’re okay with it.

That’s how trust is protected, and that’s what this space is built on.

✅ Summary

Participants fully own their stories
They can share or license them anywhere
You can share links or discuss stories freely
For any direct use of the text, permission is required
Requests are routed based on participant preferences
Any agreements happen directly with the participant

📩 Request permission

If you’d like to use part of a story, or you’re unsure — you can submit a request.

I’ll route it based on the participant’s preferences. If they’re interested, you’ll work out the details directly.

⚖️ Legal note

These terms reflect the platform’s approach to respectful use of participant-owned content.

They do not replace applicable copyright law, which may vary depending on location and use.

Episode Use & Reuse

Hi, I’m Pteyra — creator of Library of Human Experience.

When someone shares their voice here, they’re trusting me with something deeply personal: their experiences, their perspective, and how they express it.

So I want to be clear about how these episodes can be used, and how their rights are protected.

These terms apply to podcast episodes published on this platform and its official channels.

📌 What counts as an episode

An episode refers to the full published audio piece, including:

The participant’s voice recordings
The guiding questions
Editing, arrangement, and audio processing
Any clips, excerpts, or transcripts derived from the recording

🟣 Who owns the episode

Participants own their voice, their story, and the final episode fully.

This includes the complete produced episode created from their submission, even when it contains elements added by me, such as editing, structure, or the interviewer voice.

My role is to shape and present the episode with care. I do not take ownership of the content.

The interviewer voice provided by me may also be used in other episodes.

Participants also give permission for their episode to be published and shared through this platform.

🟢 Simple guidelines for use

Talk about episodes in your own words

For any use involving the actual audio, clips, or transcripts, please request permission.
