Privacy Policy
Anchor is a relationship and self-reflection app. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. Anchor is run by Anete Vanaga ("we"). Contact: [email protected].
What we collect
- Account details: your email address, the name you choose, and your password (stored only as a secure one-way hash).
- What you write and save: journal entries, reflections, healing-journey notes, answers to questions and check-ins, test answers and results, boards, and photos you add.
- Shared spaces: if you connect with a partner, friend or family member, the content you choose to share with that space, and comparison results you create with someone using a code.
- Technical data: basic request logs (such as time and IP address) kept for security and to keep the service running.
We do not use advertising, ad identifiers or third-party analytics or tracking tools. We do not sell your data.
How we use it
- To provide the app: save your entries, sync them to your devices, and show shared content to the people you chose.
- To create your test results. When you finish one of the deeper tests, your answers and scores are sent to our AI provider, Anthropic, to write your personal profile or your comparison. Anthropic processes this data on our behalf and does not use it to train its models. If you prefer, you can skip these tests; the rest of the app doesn't use AI.
- To keep Anchor secure and to fix problems.
- To contact you about your account, for example to reset your password.
Who can see your data
- You. Your journal and reflections are private by default.
- People you choose. Only content you share into a space, and your category scores in a comparison you join, are visible to the other person. They never see your individual test answers or your private profile.
- Service providers who help us run Anchor: Hetzner (servers and storage in the EU) and Anthropic (writing test results). They may only use the data to provide their service to us.
- Authorities, only if the law requires it.
How we protect it
Data is sent over encrypted connections. Your journal entries, reflections, journey notes and test answers are stored encrypted. You can also turn on App Lock so Anchor needs your fingerprint, face or device passcode to open.
How long we keep it
We keep your data while you have an account. When you delete your account, your account and everything in it are deleted from our systems straight away.
Your choices and rights
- Delete your account at any time in the app: Profile → Delete account. You can also ask us to delete it.
- Delete individual entries or photos inside the app.
- Ask us for a copy of your data, or to correct it, by writing to [email protected].
- If you're in the EU or UK, you can also complain to your local data protection authority.
Age
Anchor is meant for adults aged 18 and over.
Not a medical service
Anchor is an educational self-reflection tool. It is not therapy and does not diagnose. If you're in crisis, please contact local emergency services or a crisis line.
Changes
If we change this policy in a meaningful way, we'll tell you in the app before the change applies.
