Legal & privacy

This page is a good-faith starting point, not legal advice. Before public launch, have it reviewed by a lawyer in the jurisdiction where the project is operated, and complete the bracketed items below.

Nature of the project

mementomorti is a non-commercial, public-interest archive of publicly reported homicides in Europe. It republishes no private information about identifiable individuals: entries name no victims and no suspects, accused, or convicted persons. Each entry links to its original, already-public sources.

No allegations against individuals

Because no individuals are named, this archive makes no allegation against any person. Judicial status (alleged, charged, convicted, acquitted, dismissed) is recorded as a property of a reported case, sourced and dated, and is updated as cases progress.

Data controller & contact

The data controller is [to be completed before launch — name / entity], reachable at rrusso.marketing@gmail.com. Requests for correction, review, or removal are handled in good faith; see Corrections & takedown.

Personal data

The project minimizes personal data by design. Where an entry could, in combination with its sources, indirectly identify a person, we limit detail to what is necessary to document the case and its judicial outcome. We do not record ethnicity, nationality, or immigration status.

Accuracy & liability

Information is compiled from third-party reporting and may be incomplete or become outdated. The archive is a documented floor, not a complete or representative record; see Methodology & limitations. It is provided "as is", without warranty. Report errors via the correction process.

Sources & copyright

We link to original reporting and store short factual summaries and, where available, archival links. We claim no ownership of linked material; rights remain with the original publishers.
