Privacy Policy

”Empathy Companion” app · last updated: June 13, 2026

In short

• You don't create an account and you don't provide any personal data.
• Message history is stored only on your device.
• Our server never stores or logs message content — only technical metadata (method, path, status, response time).
• The app contains no ads, no analytics and no tracking tools.
• If you subscribe to the newsletter, your e-mail address is processed by Brevo SAS under your consent — you can withdraw it at any time.

What data we process and why

The only content we process is the message (and the optional situation context) that you yourself type in to have it transformed into the language of empathy. This content is sent over an encrypted connection (HTTPS) to our proxy server and then to the Google Gemini language model (Google Ireland Ltd. / Google LLC), which generates the empathetic version of your message. We do not store, log or use this content for any other purpose.

Processing by Google is governed by the Gemini API terms. We do not pass Google any identifiers of you or your device.

Data stored on your device

Transformation history, your name (if you provide one), the selected language and settings are kept solely in the app's local storage. You can delete them at any time in More → “Clear history”, or by uninstalling the app.

What we don't do

• We don't create user profiles and we don't require sign-in.
• We don't sell or share data with third parties (apart from the content processing by the Gemini API described above).
• We don't use cookies, advertising or analytics SDKs.
• We don't know and don't store your location.

Security

All app–server–Gemini communication happens exclusively over HTTPS. The proxy server applies rate limits to prevent abuse and has no user database.

Children

The app is educational in nature and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any data from children.

Changes to this policy

We will announce significant changes in app update notes and on this page.
