How your data is handled

By default, nothing is saved. If you're not signed in — or you are signed in but haven't turned on saving — your story exists only for this conversation and disappears when you close the tab.

Separately from anything above, and regardless of whether you're signed in or have turned anything on: to keep the product usable and keep costs sane, we count how many new conversations start from the same connection each day. Before that count touches storage, your IP address is converted into a one-way cryptographic hash — the hash can't be turned back into your IP, and we never store the IP itself. This count exists only to catch automated abuse. It's never linked to your account, your story, or anything else you do here — just a hashed identifier and a number, reset each day. (We're still finalizing an automatic-deletion policy for these day-old counters; until then they're inert but not yet actively erased.)

If you sign in and turn on "Save my reads," here's exactly what gets kept: a short, name-free summary of your side of things — what you felt, the themes that came up, your own actions, and what might need to shift. We deliberately do not keep anything about the other person — no direct quotes, no characterization of them, nothing that could read as a profile of someone who never consented to being described. The people you tell us about are stored only as a label you choose (like "my brother" or "Dana at work") — never a real name.

The first time you save something, we'll ask you directly whether to also save your exact words — not buried in a settings menu. Here's the honest tradeoff: it lets you come back and re-read a real conversation later, and it's what lets your history survive future improvements to how Naralytics works — without it, a change to how we analyze things can leave older sessions unable to be reprocessed or connected to new ones. It's a real choice with a real cost (your literal words, stored, encrypted) and a real benefit — we're not going to pretend otherwise. Change it anytime in Settings; delete any single conversation's exact words, or everything — your summaries, your saved words, your whole account — permanently, whenever you want.

Here's what we will never do with anything you save: we will never show your content to another user, or let another user's content reach you. We will never build a profile of the people you describe by combining what different users say about them. We will never use what you write to train or fine-tune any AI model. We will never sell your data, to anyone, for any reason.

Your saved text is encrypted at rest, on top of what our database provider already applies. What we can't honestly claim is end-to-end encryption: because Naralytics has to read your words to generate a read, follow up, or later re-process an entry, the server can decrypt that text when it's actually working with it. If that's a dealbreaker, the honest answer is: don't save your exact words, or don't save at all — both stay real, no-pressure options.

On retention: anything you save is kept until you delete it — there's no automatic expiry yet. We're considering an option to auto-expire saved exact words after a bounded window (kept only as long as it's useful, not indefinitely by default) while keeping your summaries; that's under consideration, not built, and derived summaries would stay permanent either way unless you delete them yourself.

This is a test version, not a finished product — our data practices may change as we learn, and we'll tell you directly if something meaningful changes. This notice describes what we actually do, not a legal certification; a full privacy/legal review is still in progress before any public launch.
