The DreamStorm Charter
The Code We Build By.
At DreamStorm, we believe every line of code carries an opinion.
This Charter is our public commitment to building technology that honors humanity, protects wisdom, and scales impact without extraction.
When you partner with us, this is what you are buying:
Absolute Data Sovereignty
Your wisdom belongs to you. Forever.
We build walled gardens, not data mines. We do not train public AI models on your intellectual property.
Portability is Power. We refuse to build dependency. If you leave DreamStorm, you receive the full database transfer, the structural schema, and the keys to your Vector Store. We build systems you can take with you.
Values in the Architecture
Integrity is hard-coded, not promised.
We refuse to build "tech for tech's sake." Privacy, safety, and equity aren't settings to be toggled—they are architectural requirements. We offer "Incognito Mode" for vulnerable moments that are never logged. We understand the human need before we build the technical solution.
Seven Generations Thinking
We build for legacy, not quarters.
We view ourselves as kaitiaki (guardians) of your digital legacy. Your Integration Partner is represented with 100% fidelity to your tone, values, and intent. We build resilient, sustainable systems designed to last.
Community Reciprocity
We build to give back.
Technology should shift power, not just money. We are committed to supporting Māori and Pasifika communities through reduced pricing, mentoring, and knowledge sharing. If you are building for the community, we are here to help.
The "NO" Clause
We define ourselves by what we refuse to do.
- ✕ We will never build persuasive tech designed to create addiction.
- ✕ We will never automate human connection where human presence is required.
- ✕ We will never work with entities that extract from land or people without reciprocity.
- ✕ We will never compromise data sovereignty for convenience or profit.
"This Charter is reviewed quarterly and published publicly.
It is not marketing copy. It is our covenant."
