In order for us to perform machine learning tasks including summarizing your recordings and identifying keywords and tags, we use a third party service called OpenAI. When you record or upload audio, video, and/or text content on the platform, we transmit a text-based copy of the transcript to OpenAI, which performs a summarization, extracts keywords and tags, and returns this information to us. All content that is shared with OpenAI is anonymized and we do not send any of your personal information or user account data to OpenAI. This transmission is governed by OpenAI’s Privacy Policy, which guarantees your data NOT be used for training or improving their AI models. 

Each week, our Platform will generate a Story (each a “Story” or collectively “Stories”) for you. Stories are AI-generated summaries of your week that contain generated artwork. In order for us to generate AI artwork, we use a third party service called Midjourney where we transmit an anonymized summary of your weekly moments through their services in order to return generated artwork.

We use the third-party tools Amplitude, Segment, CustomerIO, and Metabase to help us understand how people use our Services, for the sole purpose of helping us improve the Platform. The Personal Information shared with these providers is limited to your phone number, user name, email address, and user ID. We do not share any information from any audio, video, photo, or text content you record or upload on the platform. Both Amplitude and Segment are compliant with privacy laws and will respect your right to be forgotten. If you delete your account on the Platform, we will request that Amplitude and Segment also delete your associated data. 

We may share certain aggregated, anonymized, non-personally identifying information with others about how our users, collectively, use our Services.
