All data - portraits, profiles, tributes, and metadata - is stored in a secure cloud database (Supabase) with automated backups, row‑level security, and access controls. The archive is built to last: we maintain versioned records, a clear data‑management policy, and a roadmap for migrating to new platforms if needed. The system is designed to accommodate future expansions, including new categories (elders, teachers, entrepreneurs) and additional media (audio, video).
