Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 9, 2025

At feel.tech, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our emotional wellness service.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

  • Email address: Required for account registration
  • Password: Securely hashed; we never store or have access to your plaintext password

Information Processed by AI

When you use the Service, your emotional descriptions are processed by our AI provider to generate insights and suggestions. This processing happens in real-time and is essential to providing the Service.

Encrypted Information

Your emotional data is encrypted.

The following information is encrypted on your device before being stored:

  • Your emotional descriptions
  • Selected emotions and intensity ratings
  • AI conversation history

Your encryption key is derived from your password. We cannot read your encrypted data. This means that if you forget your password, your encrypted data cannot be recovered.

  • Device information: Browser type and operating system (for compatibility purposes)

  • Provide and operate the feel.tech service
  • Process your emotional descriptions through AI to generate insights
  • Send transactional emails (account verification, password reset, etc.)
