Privacy policy

Companion is currently a private product under review. The organisation responsible for the service, its jurisdiction and its public data-protection contact have not yet been approved. Those details must be published here before anyone outside the current family review is invited to add personal information.

This page explains the software as it exists today. It is not presented as a final privacy notice for an external pilot.

• Your email address and the account information needed to sign you in. Companion does not store your password in readable form.
• Profile details you choose to provide, such as country, relationship stage, priorities and information about children.
• The accounts, journal entries, dates, financial records, notes and documents you add to your workspace.
• AI-usage events needed to apply service limits and protect the service.
• A journal draft saved only in your browser. When you return to the draft page, Companion removes drafts more than seven days old; you can discard the draft sooner.

Companion uses this information to create and secure your account, show your private workspace, store the records you ask it to keep, build exports you request, and operate features you actively choose.

Companion is an organisation tool. It does not determine legal rights, assess evidence, make decisions about you or replace advice from a qualified professional.

Companion asks before sending information to Groq for transcription, organisation, a journal summary or a brief. You can keep source information without using an optional AI step.

A voice recording is kept temporarily in the browser only long enough to transcribe or retry it in that session. Companion stores the transcript you review, not the original recording.

Groq says inference inputs and outputs are not retained by default, but they may be logged for reliability or abuse monitoring for up to 30 days unless Zero Data Retention is enabled. Retained customer data is located in the United States. Read Groq's current data information.

AI output can be incomplete or wrong. Companion keeps it separate from your source account and asks you to review suggested wording.

Supabase provides authentication, the database and private document storage. Access rules are designed so a signed-in user can access their own workspace records. Vercel hosts the web application and handles requests to it. Groq processes only the information sent during an AI action you confirm.

Companion does not sell personal information or use workspace content for advertising. Vercel's processing region and request-log retention have not yet been documented for the pilot. A final notice must record the approved operator's provider contracts, processing locations and international-transfer safeguards before external use.

Workspace information remains associated with your account until you remove it or the account is deleted. The external-pilot retention schedule, including what happens to inactive accounts, is not yet approved.

A JSON account export is implemented; uploaded document files are not embedded in that export. Account deletion is built but must still be configured and tested before it can be promised to pilot users. No external pilot should begin until both controls have been verified.

You choose what to add, whether to use an AI feature and whether to accept or edit its suggestions. You can edit or remove individual workspace items through the product where those controls are available.

Requests about access, correction, export, deletion, consent or a privacy concern must use the contact method supplied with a private-pilot invitation until a public data-protection address is approved. See the contact page.

Companion is intended for adults and should not be used to create an account for a child. It is not an emergency, safeguarding or crisis service. If someone may be in immediate danger, contact the appropriate emergency or specialist service where you are.

This notice will be updated before the external pilot and whenever the way Companion handles information materially changes. Important changes should be shown before the new processing begins.
