Your Data

What we store about you

• —Session history: Your emotion, what you're seeking, and anything you share in the "tell us more" step
• —Chat messages: The conversation you have with the AI companion during each session
• —Gratitude notes: What you write on the gratitude card at the end of a session
• —Reactions & feedback: Which cards you loved or skipped
• —Memory & relationship context: Distilled summaries, pinned memory notes, your matched angel, voice choice, and emotional trajectory used to make the experience feel continuous
• —Saved cards: Verses or content you've pinned or loved
• —Device identifier: A random ID stored in your browser that can link pre-sign-in sessions to your account after you sign in.

How long we keep it

We retain your data for as long as you use the app. If you delete your app data or request erasure, app-side personal information in our database is removed promptly. We do not keep a separate marketing archive of deleted records.

Raw chat history may also be pruned by routine cleanup after it has served continuity, while distilled summaries may remain until you delete your data.
