What makes LifeStream Digital Memory Box unique?
With LifeStream Digital Memory Box, the individual can take control of their information. In this busy social media world, there is a lot of information available, but it requires the people seeing the information to put the information together correctly. Are they looking at accurate information? Are they reviewing it in the right timeline? Is something missing? You have no way of knowing unless you are deciding what information a person can see/review. LifeStream Digital Memory Box helps you to:
- Save information over time, from all aspects of your life, in a secure environment
- Consolidate and organize information for you
- Easily access your information online anytime you want
- Select and share the information you want privately with whomever you want

What is a Personal Brand?
It’s what makes you – YOU! As defined by Wikipedia, a personal brand “is the practice of people marketing themselves and their careers as brands. While previous self-help management techniques were about self-improvement, the personal branding concept suggests instead that success comes from self-packaging.” LifeStream Digital Innovations, LLC is creating a suite of services that will assist individuals with building and protecting their personal brand, and showcasing their uniqueness. Our pioneer service is LifeStream Digital Memory Box, a smart digital storage solution that also enables you to create a digital portfolio to showcase who you are and what you can do. Start LifeStreaming today!
Aren’t portfolios just for artists, athletes, musicians, etc?
Not anymore! Schools and businesses are working to take a more holistic approach to individual evaluation and want to see examples from any area in which an applicant may have excelled, made an impact, and/or had personal enthusiasm. Examples can go across a broad spectrum of categories including community service, extra-curricular activities, jobs/internships, interests, etc, in addition to athletic and/or artistic talents.

How does LifeStream Digial Digital Memory Box® work?
Information and media are stored in a LifeStream Digital Memory Box®, ideally over time. Your LifeStream Digital Memory Box Account can be for an individual or your entire household. The “Administrator” of your LifeStream Account is the person who sets up the initial account and has the first memory box within the account. That Administrator can then add memory boxes for each person within the household as necessary. A household can have as many memory boxes as they need (generally one per person within the household) – Please view our Privacy Policy for Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) compliance. The LifeStream portfolio feature enables you or your child to create a custom digital portfolio using the media within your memory box. You can create as many LifeStream portfolios from your digital memory box as you need in 2 easy steps
Can I set-up more than one Digital Memory Box for my household?
Yes! You can set-up a LifeStream Digital Memory Box® for each person in your household for the same price. Or, set up work and personal digital memory boxes for yourself. The Main Account holder, the person who sets up the account, will have access to all Digital Memory Boxes within the account, whereas each person age 13+ within the household will only have access to their own Digital Memory Box.
Do you collect information from children?
This is a general-audience website and is not directed to users under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect PII directly from children under the age of 13. If you believe that we might have any PII submitted directly from a child under 13, please Contact Us. We will attempt to delete the information as soon as possible.
Children age 13 to 17 may use the Website, but we recommend parent/guardian supervision for these users. Supervision within LifeStreamDigitalMemoryBox.com can be obtained by having the parent/guardian create the Main Account (initial person who formally signs up for the account), and then that parent/guardian can “Add Memory Boxes” for the household once logged into the system. The Main Account holder, will have access to all Digital Memory Boxes within the account, whereas each person age 13+ within the household will only have access to their own Digital Memory Box. Digital Memory Boxes for children under 13 are required to be managed by a parent/guardian to protect the child’s privacy. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for additional information.
Do you need a lot of examples in your LifeStream portfolio?
No. LifeStream encourages you to be thoughtful about what you ultimately send in a LifeStream portfolio by identifying best examples of academic work (writing, projects, etc), awards and achievements, athletic or artistic talent, community service, extra-curricular activities, interests, etc., and only send those. What’s unique about LifeStream is that you can save all that you want over time and then select out only what you need for your LifeStream portfolio when you need it.
How do I know what to send?
Your LifeStream portfolio is meant to help you tell your story of who they are – showing your achievements, awards, personality, talents, interests, etc. Suggested examples (“memories”) based on some LifeStream categories are:
- Academic examples: These examples should show special projects, academic content (writing samples, etc), recommendations, or related activities (robotics clubs, language clubs, etc), that show quality and/or enthusiasm for your academic work and/or other school or professional development related activity.
- Athletic examples: If you play a sport, belong to an athletic club, volunteer for an athletic organization, work for or support a team in some way, have a passion for a sport and/or have talent in a sport, you can show your impact and explain your involvement in LifeStream.
- Community Involvement examples: If you formally volunteer or spend your time helping the community in any way, you can show what you are doing and explain why it is meaningful to you. If applicable, don’t forget to add any letters of impact or positive feedback you have received.
- Employment/Internship examples: From running a lemonade stand to having a formalized internship or part-time job, if you work or have done something work-related, show your experience, how often you work why you do (did) it, and whether you like(d) it along with any recommendations and/or positive feedback you have received.
- The Arts examples: If you are an artist or musician, have any involvement in plays or productions, artistic clubs, or other artistic talent or involvement, input samples of your work in LifeStream.
- Extra-Curricular Activities: If you are involved in any after school program, club, volunteer work, travel team, etc, add examples of these activities here.
Life Skills & Character Trait examples: If you learned or exhibited any life skills and/or personal character traits in any of your experiences, please remember to tag those within each applicable memory. This is unique to LifeStream, and a critical part of your application!
NOTE: If an experience goes across multiple categories, LifeStream made it easy for you – simply check all applicable categories your experience identifies with and you are all set! You only input the information once.
Can my child set-up an account?
Children age 13 to 17 may use the site, but we recommend parent/guardian supervision for these users. Supervision within LifeStreamDigitalMemoryBox.com can be obtained by having the parent/guardian create the Main User Account (initial person who formally signs up for the account), and then that parent/guardian can “Add Memory Boxes” for the household at no additional cost once logged into the system.
