Chat messages are not stored. Your conversation text is processed in real time to generate AI responses but is not persisted on our servers after the session ends.
All data is stored in compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) on servers hosted by Hetzner in the European Union (Helsinki, Finland). All connections use TLS encryption.
When you send a message, the conversation text is transmitted through our servers to the Anthropic Claude API to generate a supportive response. Only the conversation text is sent — no personal identifiers (email, name, account ID) are included in AI requests.
Anthropic operates a zero-retention policy for API data: your messages are not stored by Anthropic after processing and are never used to train AI models. Learn more about Anthropic's commercial data practices.
We do not sell your data. We do not share your data with third parties for advertising or marketing purposes. Your data is used solely to provide the Don't Spiral service.
You can delete all your data at any time from within the app: Settings → Delete Account. This permanently removes your account, all chat sessions, life facts, preferences, and feedback from our servers.
Don't Spiral is not intended for users under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
We may update this policy from time to time. Significant changes will be communicated through the app. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
