AI Processing

Your messages are sent to OpenAI's API for processing to generate therapeutic responses. OpenAI's data usage policy applies to these interactions. We do not store or access the content of these exchanges.

Security

All communications are encrypted in transit using HTTPS. Since we don't store personal data on our servers, there's minimal risk of data breaches affecting your privacy.
