5. AI Processing and Claude
Honestly uses AI technology provided by Anthropic, including Claude, for certain features of the Service.
Depending on the feature you use, text from your answers and relevant contextual information may be transmitted to an AI service for processing.
This may include:
- Generating a reflection based on an answer you submit.
- Translating text into your selected language.

We aim to limit the information transmitted to what is necessary to provide the relevant feature.
AI services may process information through systems located in countries other than your country of residence. Where required, we will implement appropriate contractual, technical, and organisational safeguards.
The retention and permitted use of information by Anthropic depend on the specific service, account type, and contractual terms applicable to our integration.
We will assess the applicable terms and data protection arrangements of the AI services we use.
AI-generated reflections may be inaccurate, incomplete, or unsuitable for your particular circumstances. They are intended to support personal reflection and are not medical, psychological, legal, or other professional advice.
Please avoid submitting information you would not want processed by the relevant AI service.
6. Anonymity and Sharing
Honestly may offer features that allow you to share answers or participate without displaying your name.
Where an anonymous or pseudonymous feature is available, we will explain how it works within the Service.
Anonymity does not necessarily mean that no personal data is processed. For example, your answers may remain associated with an account or technical identifier within our systems.
If you choose to share content with other users or through a group feature, the content may be visible to the recipients you select.
You should not assume that content shared with other people can never be copied, saved, or associated with you by someone who sees it.
We will describe anonymity in accordance with the actual technical functionality of the Service.

You may request deletion of your account and associated personal data.
Honestly will provide an accessible mechanism to initiate account deletion from within the application in accordance with applicable platform requirements.
If you cannot access the deletion functionality, you may contact info@honestlyweareallhuman.com for assistance.
When an account is deleted, we will delete or anonymise the personal data associated with it unless we are legally required or otherwise permitted to retain particular information.

Where particular information must be retained, we will limit its use to the relevant legal or operational purpose.
13. Security
We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
These measures may include access controls, restricted permissions, secure communications, and safeguards provided by our infrastructure providers.
However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential where applicable.

Honestly is not intended for children below the minimum age permitted by applicable law.
We do not knowingly collect personal data from children where doing so would be unlawful.
If you believe a child has provided personal data inappropriately, please contact us at info@honestlyweareallhuman.com.
We will investigate and take appropriate action in accordance with applicable law.
15. Third-Party Services
The Service relies on third-party services, including authentication and AI providers.
Those providers may process information in accordance with their own privacy policies and applicable contractual terms.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party services where relevant.
Our use of third-party providers does not remove our responsibility to comply with applicable data protection obligations.
