What binds each member of the Zakhor collective: membership, conduct, contributions, personal data, withdrawal and exclusion.
These rules supplement the Zakhor Manifesto and specify the terms of its application. Anyone who electronically signs the manifesto declares that they have read and accept it.
The manifesto sets out our principles; the rules set out our concrete commitments and our operating procedures.
A member of the collective is any person holding an account on Zakhor.ai who has signed the manifesto and accepted these rules.
Membership is free, without charge, and open to all without distinction of origin, faith, nationality, or conviction (Manifesto, Art. 7). It confers no right of ownership over the collective's content.
The member undertakes to respect the eight articles of the manifesto, and in particular: the distinction between the two registers Memory and History (Art. 2); epistemic parity — honestly qualifying what is established, probable, transmitted, or conjectured (Art. 3); the non-erasure of contributions and their history (Art. 4).
They undertake to act with courtesy and goodwill in exchanges, and refrain from any hateful, defamatory, discriminatory, or harassing remarks.
The member submits only content they have the right to share. They indicate their sources and the provenance of documents, distinguish fact from interpretation, and do not falsely attribute information.
They retain the authorship of their contributions; by contributing, they authorise the collective to retain, publish, cite, and illustrate them within the framework of the manifesto's principles. Illustrations added by the collective come from royalty-free sources (public domain / Creative Commons), with attribution.
Contributions follow a circuit of submission → analysis → review → publication (Manifesto, Art. 5). The roles of analyst and reviewer are distinct, and the publisher of a contribution cannot be its submitter.
Decisions are recorded in a consultable log (non-erasure, Art. 4). Every member has a right of reply regarding a decision concerning them.
In accordance with article 6 of the manifesto, the following are prohibited: the falsification or invention of facts, the denial of established historical crimes, proselytism, undue political or commercial exploitation, and any form of hatred.
A breach exposes its author to the measures set out in article 7 of these regulations.
The collective processes the following data: account identifiers, name, e-mail address, and — for the signature — the asserted name, the date and time, the signed versions, and the display preference.
Purpose: to manage membership, the signing of the manifesto and contributions. Legal basis: the member's consent. The name is made public only if the member has explicitly chosen so at the time of signing.
The member has the rights of access, rectification, erasure, withdrawal of consent and portability; these are exercised at the collective's contact address (admin@zakhor.ai). The data is retained for the duration of the membership, then deleted upon withdrawal request.
The member may withdraw their signature and leave the collective at any time (right to erasure); their signature and, where applicable, their public name are then withdrawn.
The collective may suspend or exclude a member in the event of a serious or repeated breach of the manifesto or of these regulations, after reasoned notification and the exercise of the right of reply. Exclusion does not erase the history of contributions already published (Art. 4), but ends membership status.
These regulations may evolve. Members are informed of amendments. A substantial change to the manifesto or to the regulations invites members to re-sign; failing this, the last signature remains valid for the version it covered. Each version is dated.
Internal regulations of the Zakhor collective — version 2026-06. Each earlier version remains archived in accordance with article 4 of the manifesto.
