Privacy Policy

1. The 24-Hour Ephemeral Guarantee

At iFelt, we believe emotional release should never create a permanent digital record. Every unsent feeling and confession submitted to the public Void is programmed with an immutable 24-hour expiration timestamp. Once 24 hours elapse, the record is permanently and irrevocably deleted from our PostgreSQL database via an automated background purging cycle.

2. Anonymity & What We Collect

We designed iFelt so that you can participate without compromising your real identity:

• Public Confessions: We collect only the recipient name, mood category, and emotional text you provide. We never require you to reveal your real legal name.
• IP Addresses & Security: IP addresses are processed in volatile memory solely for real-time DDoS mitigation and rate-limiting. They are never tied to individual confessions or sold to advertisers.
• Google Authentication: If you choose 1-Click Sign-in, we receive your email and name strictly to maintain your session and sync your encrypted Device Safe.

3. Payments & Zero Card Retention

All financial transactions are processed securely through Dodo Payments (our Merchant of Record). When you unlock a $2.99 Reality Check or subscribe to a Sanctuary Pass, your credit card details, Apple Pay, and billing information are handled directly by Dodo Payments in compliance with PCI-DSS Level 1 security standards. iFelt servers never see, store, or transmit your raw payment credentials.

4. AI Analysis & Behavioral Models

When you request a Forensic Chat Autopsy or Psychological Closure breakdown, text snippets are transmitted via encrypted TLS to enterprise Google Gemini API endpoints. Under our enterprise configuration, customer prompts are processed in isolation and are strictly prohibited from being used to train foundation models.

5. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. Because our confessions auto-purge within 24 hours, data retention is minimized by design. California residents have the right to request verification of data deletion at any time by contacting our privacy officer.

6. Contact & Data Inquiries
