We keep as little as we can, we don't sell anything to anyone, there are no advertisements and no trackers, and your one-on-one studies are not read by us.
A device key. A random string your browser stores, which is how the app knows which account is yours. No name, no email, no password.
Your conversations. Saved on our server so they survive a new phone, and listed under Past. You can delete any of them from inside the app, and deleting removes them from the server.
Usage. What each request cost us, which teacher answered, and when — so the meter and the limits work. Our logs record that a question happened and what it cost. They do not record the question or the answer.
Payment. Handled entirely by Polar, who are the merchant of record for every subscription. We never see your card. We hold the fact that an account is paid, when it renews, and the email address the payment came with - which is the only way to put your subscription back if you lose the device it lives on. We don't send anything to it otherwise.
A count of free trials. When a free trial begins we store a one-way fingerprint of the network it started from, so the same trial can't be taken over and over. It is a salted hash: it cannot be turned back into an address, it is never attached to a question or a conversation, and the rows are deleted after about three months. Nothing is kept for anyone who already has an account.
If somebody's link brought you here. People who tell others about the room have a link with a short code on the end of it. We count how many times a day that link was followed - a number, nothing about who followed it - and if you go on to make an account, we record which code brought you, so that person can be paid. That is the whole of it: they can see how many accounts and subscriptions their link produced, and never who you are, what you asked, or anything you wrote.
Your questions, and the scripture and commentary retrieved for them, are sent to Anthropic to produce an answer. That is the only third party that sees the content of a conversation. Polar sees your payment details. Nobody else receives anything, and nothing is sold or shared for advertising.
You can set a code that has to be entered before your past studies can be opened, under Settings. It is kept only on your own device, as a scrambled value that cannot be turned back into the code, and it is never sent to us — which also means we cannot recover it for you. It stops someone who picks up your phone from reading what you have said here. It is not encryption of the conversations themselves, and it does not hide anything from us.
If you tap Share, a copy of that conversation as it stands is published at a link only someone you send it to could guess. It shows the words and nothing else: no name, no account, no way to reach you, and nothing on the page can be clicked to ask anything. It is a copy, so whatever you say afterwards is not published. You can take a shared study down at any time, and it is gone.
If a panel is saved to the shared library so later readers get it free, it is checked first: anything personal, any detail that could identify you, and anything that reads as someone's own situation is refused. Your one-on-one studies are never shared, ever.
Conversations stay until you delete them. Usage records are kept for accounting. Write to support@theagoraroom.com and we will delete an account and everything attached to it.
The app is not built for children under 13 and we don't knowingly keep data from them.
