At My Age. Content

Content Policy

Effective October 22, 2026

The short version

  • Every entry is a short, dated line that we wrote ourselves from Wikipedia. Each one links to the article it came from.
  • For people who are alive we use public-record facts only. We leave out endorsements of other people, lawsuits without an outcome, and private matters.
  • We make mistakes. If something is wrong, tap “Report incorrect info” or email [email protected], and we will check it.

1. What this content is

At My Age is built on one idea: Their stories. My possibilities. Each person in the app has a timeline of short, dated entries, a line or two each, that we write from Wikipedia and line up against your own age. These are not biographies, and they are not complete. We pick moments that are useful to set beside your own life. Dates can be approximate: when only the year is known, the app shows “c.” before it, and when the month is known, it shows the month.

2. Where the facts come from

Almost every entry is based on an article on Wikipedia (English or Korean), which is published under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 licence (CC BY-SA 4.0). We read the article and then write the entry ourselves, in our own words and much shorter. We do not copy its sentences, and we do not quote more than a short phrase. Every entry has a “Source” link to the article it is based on, and every person has a link to their Wikipedia page, so you can check us and read more. A small number of entries rely on another reviewed public source instead, such as the Nobel Prize website or, for a few fictional characters, a reference site for their story. We do not use sources that forbid commercial reuse. Wikipedia is a trademark of the Wikimedia Foundation, and we are not affiliated with it.

3. Who we include

We include public figures and historical figures whose lives are well documented on Wikipedia, and a few fictional characters. We aim for a mix of fields and countries, such as science, sport, art, business, politics and literature, so that more people can find someone to compare with. We include a person because their story can help you reflect and plan, not because we think they are better than anyone else. Fictional characters come from published works; most come from works in the public domain, and a few come from modern works whose characters belong to their owners, which the app marks as unofficial. Nobody featured is affiliated with us or endorses At My Age, we do not suggest in our advertising that they do, and we do not make merchandise from them. If you cannot find someone, use “Request a person” in the app; we add people under the same rules, and we cannot promise to add everyone.

4. Living people

For people who are alive, we use only facts that are on the public record and widely reported, such as their career, their work, their awards and what they have said in public. We write about family matters, such as a marriage or a child, only when the person has spoken about it publicly themselves. We leave out private relationships, rumours, and anything we cannot confirm from a source. We also leave out health matters, apart from an injury or illness that the person made public and that changed their public work, such as an injury that ended a sporting season. Living people appear with their initials, never a photo. If you are a living person featured here, see section 7 for how to ask for a change or a removal.

5. What we leave out

Being on Wikipedia is not enough for an entry to be shown. We leave out:

  • Endorsements of others. When a living person backs, funds or campaigns for someone else’s candidacy or cause, we do not show it. Their own runs for office, elections and appointments stay, because they are part of their career.
  • Lawsuits without an outcome. We show a lawsuit only together with how it ended. A line that stops at “was sued” or “sued” is left out, because it is out of date or one-sided.
  • Repeated company milestones. Where one person has many entries of the same kind, for example a long run of numbered product launches, we keep the turning points (founding, a sale, going public, a first success) and drop the repeats.
  • Duplicates. If two entries at the same age describe the same work or event, such as a premiere and its release, we merge them into one.
  • Unverified claims. Rumours, speculation, and anything we cannot tie to a source link.
  • Anything outside our sources. If the fact is not on Wikipedia or another source we have reviewed, we do not use it.

6. Portraits

We show a portrait only for people who have died and for characters from public-domain works, and only when we can confirm the licence. The picture must come from Wikimedia Commons under a public-domain, CC0, CC BY or CC BY-SA licence, and we show the photographer’s or artist’s name and the licence beside it. Pictures licensed for non-commercial use only, no-changes licences and “fair use” pictures are not used. Everyone else appears as initials: all living people, characters from modern works that belong to their owners, and anyone for whom we have no picture that we are sure we may use. A shared card carries a portrait only when it is public domain or CC0; otherwise it is a text card.

7. Mistakes and requests

If something looks wrong, open the entry and tap “Report incorrect info”, or email [email protected]. Tell us which entry it is and what it should say; a link to a source helps. We check each report against the sources, then correct, keep or remove the entry. While we check, the entry usually stays up; if the request comes from the person themselves or their representative, we hide it first and check afterwards. We write back with what we decided. We may not answer reports that repeat the same point, look automated, or are abusive, and we may block the sender; the in-app report button is also rate-limited for this reason.

To suggest a person, use “Request a person” in the app. If you are a person featured here, or your family, estate, agent or representative, or a rights holder, and you want an entry, a portrait or the whole person removed, email us. We act on such requests promptly and do not argue about them. Please do not put sensitive information in a report.

8. Limits

At My Age is for information and reflection. It is not medical, financial, career or any other professional advice, and an entry is not a judgement of anyone. We do not guarantee that the content is complete, current or free of errors: a life holds far more than a timeline, and the lives of living people keep changing after we write about them. Ages are calculated from the person’s birth date and the date of the entry. When an entry gives only a year or a month, the app uses the middle of that period, so the age shown can be one year off. The Korean text is our own translation of the English and may differ in nuance.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the app grows and as we learn from your reports. The new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date, and for material changes we will also say so in the app. The current version is effective October 22, 2026. This policy sits alongside our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
