You, Observed (also called Human User Manual and The Observatory) is built on the belief that self-knowledge should stay private. This policy explains what we collect, why, and how it is protected. The app is published by Affinial.

When you create an account we collect your email address, used for authentication. During normal use the app collects what you record: your scan responses (the systems, intentions, pressures, behavioural pulls, and outcomes you note) and the text you write in your journal and in Go Deeper. This is used to generate your alignment score, pattern insights, and reflections.

We do not collect your name, location, contacts, or any information from your device beyond what is needed to run the app.

Reflections are generated by Claude, an AI model from Anthropic. The first time you use the app we ask whether you agree to send your scan responses and writing to Anthropic for this purpose. You can say no, and you can change your choice at any time in Settings under AI reflections. If AI reflections are off, your scan responses and writing are not sent to Anthropic, and the app tells you that reflections are turned off.

When AI reflections are on, your scan responses and writing are sent to Anthropic only to produce your reflection. Under Anthropic’s commercial terms, your data is not used to train Anthropic’s models. We do not sell your data or share it with advertisers.

Your data is stored with Supabase, a managed database and authentication provider. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

We use these services to operate the app:

• Supabase: database and authentication
• Anthropic: AI-generated reflections (only if you turn them on)

They receive only the data needed to provide their service.

You can turn AI reflections on or off at any time in Settings. You can delete your account and all associated data inside the app (Settings, then Delete My Account), or by following the steps on our deletion page: [DELETION PAGE URL]. You can also email [SUPPORT EMAIL]. Deleted data is permanently removed within 30 days.

This app is not intended for users under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

We may update this policy from time to time. We will change the "Last updated" date above when we do. Continued use of the app after changes means you accept the updated policy.
