What happens to our material when the commission ends?

The intended sequence is final approval, organized export and manifest, integrity verification, delivery, family confirmation that the archive is received and readable, an agreement-defined grace period, and a qualified purge of Kin & Chronicle-controlled working copies listed in the project’s data-location record. The studio then provides deletion confirmation and retains only reusable method, legally required business records, and separately authorized public material. Exact retention belongs in the agreement. Kin & Chronicle does not promise instantaneous deletion or erasure of every transient outside-provider copy beyond that provider’s available controls.
