Privacy notice

Y: The Art of Re-authoring is a wellness journal and coaching companion. It does not diagnose or treat, and it never replaces medical care.

What we store

Your email address, the date you accepted these terms, the cards you were dealt each day, which ones you marked done, your notes, your bonus reflections, your "Something scared me" entries, and, if you use the Y Practice, your wall entries, coaching conversations, and the insights and intentions you choose to save.

Who can see it

Only you. Each entry is locked to your account. The author sees totals and averages only, never anyone's entries.

The AI coach

The coach in the Y Practice is an AI, not a person or a therapist. It only runs when you write to it. Your message, that conversation, and the wall sentence it is about are sent to the AI service to write a reply. The service is set to zero data retention: the AI provider does not store your words or use them to train models. With Coach memory on, the coach also sees your other wall sentences and the insights and intentions you saved, with their dates. With it off, it sees only the current conversation. Events you set aside as Level 3 are never sent. You can turn Coach memory off and delete all coaching history in Settings.

How we learn whether sessions help

When you use the Y Practice, the app notes a few moments: a session started or closed, a conversation continued, an insight or intention saved, and your answers to the two optional closing questions. Each note holds only the choice you made, the date, and random session and conversation codes. It never holds your name, email, or anything you wrote. We look only at totals across all readers. These notes are kept for about 90 days and then removed automatically. Deleting a conversation or your account removes everything you wrote right away; the notes, which contain none of your words, expire on their own. Choosing "Not yet" or skipping is always a valid answer, and an unrecorded discovery still counts as real to us.

Deleting your data

You can delete any entry from History, or delete your account and all of your data from Settings at any time.

What we never do

We do not sell your data, show ads, or share your entries with anyone.
