MicroBlooming Beta

Privacy Notice

Last updated: 7 July 2026 (beta period)

MicroBlooming is in private beta. This notice tells you plainly what we collect, why, and what stays yours. You agree to this inside the app before your first conversation, and you can withdraw at any time.

The short version

• Your conversations with your guide help us improve her. We measure what helps and use it to teach the guide.
• Your journal entries, mood logs, and protocol settings stay on your phone. We do not read them.
• We sell nothing, show no ads, and run no third-party analytics.
• You can delete your data at any time.

What we collect during the beta

Conversations. Messages you exchange with the guide pass through our server to generate replies. During the beta we may retain and review conversation data in pseudonymized form (a device identifier, not your name) to measure what helps, verify safety behavior, and improve how the guide responds. This is the entire purpose of the beta and the reason we ask for your consent up front.

Device token. The app identifies itself with an anonymous device credential. There is no account, no email requirement, and no password. Beta access works through an invite code.

Safety intake. The answers you give in the safety intake (for example medication classes) shape the guide's behavior on your device.

What never leaves your phone

Journal entries, mood and energy logs, protocol settings, and the app's long-term memory of your story are stored on your device. We do not access, read, or collect them.

The AI provider

Replies are generated by Anthropic's Claude through our own server. We never embed provider keys in the app. Per Anthropic's API policy, API conversations are not used to train their models.

What we will never do

• Sell or rent your data.
• Show advertising or share data with ad networks.
• Run third-party analytics or tracking SDKs in the app.
• Use your words in marketing without your explicit, separate permission.

Retention and deletion

Beta conversation data is kept only as long as needed to improve the guide, and no longer than 90 days after the beta ends. Email us at any time and we will erase your server-side data. Deleting the app removes everything stored on your device.

Sensitive conversations

Conversations may touch mental health and inner life. We treat all conversation data as sensitive, restrict access to it, and review it only for the purposes above. MicroBlooming is not therapy, not medical care, and not an emergency service. If you are in crisis, contact your local emergency number, or in the US call or text 988.

Age and legal basis

The beta is for adults 18 and over. We process beta data on the basis of your consent (GDPR art. 6(1)(a) and, for health-related conversation content, art. 9(2)(a)). You may withdraw consent at any time by stopping use of the app and requesting deletion. You also have the right to access, rectify, or export your data, and to complain to your supervisory authority.
