Privacy Policy

How Humane AI handles data.

GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA-aligned. Programmatic export and erasure. Plain-language commitments on what we collect, why, how long, and who sees it.

§ 01

Scope of this policy

This Privacy Policy covers the Humane AI platform: our API, SDKs (Python, TypeScript, REST), the web dashboard, the MemPalace memory store, engines (Policy, Safety, Proactive Triggers, A/B Experiments), and our marketing website at humaneai.vaarak.com.

In this policy, “you” is the person or company with a Humane AI account. “End users” or “patients” are the people your application serves — whose conversations and behavioral signals you send to us on their behalf. For their data, you are the Controller and we are the Processor — see our Data Processing Addendum.

§ 02

What we collect

From you (the account holder)

  • Identity: name, email address, organization name, role.
  • Authentication: bcrypt-hashed password, OAuth provider identifiers (Google).
  • Billing: Stripe customer ID, invoice history, plan tier.
  • Usage: request timestamps, endpoints hit, rate-limit metrics, error codes.
  • Support correspondence you send us by email or in-app chat (retained for 2 years unless you ask us to delete it sooner).

From end users (on your behalf)

  • Messages you explicitly send to our API as part of a conversation — stored as ConversationMessage rows.
  • Behavioral signals derived from those messages — mood, energy, trust, familiarity, sentiment. These are derived numeric state, not raw transcripts.
  • Optional semantic memories written to MemPalace when you opt in to relational memory on a tier that supports it.
  • End-user profiles: external_id, optional display_name, status, interaction counts.
  • Proactive-trigger state, A/B experiment assignments, audit events.

We do not collect raw browsing history, device fingerprints, biometric data, or precise geolocation from end users unless you send it to us explicitly.

§ 03

How we use your data

We use the data we collect to:

  • Provide the API and dashboard features on your active plan.
  • Compute behavioral state — mood / energy / trust / familiarity / sentiment — so your LLM calls can be context-aware.
  • Enforce safety gates, policy rules, and rate limits across your tenant.
  • Keep audit logs for security, incident investigation, and compliance reporting (retained for 2 years by default).
  • Operate transactional email (verification, password reset, billing receipts, quota warnings, weekly digest — opt-outable).
  • Detect, investigate, and prevent abuse, fraud, and violations of these Terms or our Acceptable Use Policy.
  • Improve our service — only using aggregated, de-identified metrics.

We do not sell your data. We do not train our own foundation models on your Customer Data. We do not share Customer Data with third-party LLM providers beyond what is needed to fulfil a request you made.

§ 04

Retention windows

Retention is enforced automatically every hour by a scheduled job — not by manual cleanup — and is capped per plan:

PlanIncluded interactionsDefault retentionBAA
Community1,000 / month30 daysNot available
Starter10,000 / month90 daysOn request (Clinic upgrade)
Growth100,000 / month180 daysOn request
ScaleUnlimited365 daysIncluded
EnterpriseContractualConfigurableIncluded with MSA

Conversation messages and MemPalace memories older than the cap are hard-deleted. Audit logs and billing history are kept for 2 years for regulatory reasons, regardless of plan.

When you cancel, we retain a 30-day grace window before final deletion to let you reverse the cancellation or export data. After 30 days, we delete Customer Data unless a signed MSA or active legal hold requires otherwise.

§ 05

When we share data

We share data with the following categories of third parties, all bound by written data-protection agreements:

  • Infrastructure: Contabo (Mumbai region — primary hosting, EU-owned operator), Cloudflare (DNS + DDoS protection, no TLS-terminated content).
  • LLM providers you route traffic to — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, AWS Bedrock, Mistral, Groq, xAI, and others selected via the provider string on each request. Only the prompt and the response transit.
  • Payments: Stripe (PCI-DSS Level 1). We never store full card numbers; Stripe holds the payment method.
  • Email: Resend (transactional email delivery). Opt-outable per category.
  • Observability:Sentry (application errors, sampled & scrubbed), optional OpenTelemetry exporters you configure.

A current, versioned sub-processor list lives at /dpa#subprocessors. We publish at least 30 days' notice before adding a new sub-processor that processes Customer Data.

§ 06

Your rights (GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA)

You have the following rights for your account and — where you are the Controller — for your end users' data you process through Humane AI.

Access (GDPR Art. 15 · HIPAA §164.524)

Retrieve everything we hold on an end user — profile, events, messages, proactive triggers, experiment assignments, MemPalace memories — via GET /api/privacy/export/{external_id}. Exports are audit-logged.

Erasure (GDPR Art. 17 · HIPAA §164.528)

Permanently delete an end user and all derived signals via DELETE /api/privacy/erase/{external_id}. The call cascades into events, messages, triggers, assignments, and MemPalace; the erase event is audit-logged before the rows disappear.

Portability (GDPR Art. 20)

Exported data returns structured JSON matching our documented schema — portable by design.

Rectification, Objection, Restriction

Edit profile fields from the dashboard. To restrict further processing of a specific end user, call POST /api/privacy/restrict/{external_id}or mark the end user's status as paused.

CCPA: Do Not Sell

We do not sell personal information as defined by the CCPA. California residents may still request access and deletion through the endpoints above.

§ 07

Children's data

Humane AI is not directed at children. Do not use the Service to process personal data of a child under 13 (or 16 in the EU) unless you have obtained verifiable parental consent. If we learn we've received data concerning a child without proper consent, we will delete it.

§ 08

Cookies & local storage

We use a minimal set of cookies, all strictly necessary for the Service to function:

  • humane_session — HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax. Authenticates your dashboard session. Cleared on sign-out.
  • humane_csrf — short-lived CSRF token for forms.
  • humane_theme — saves dashboard light/dark preference (no PII).

We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. We do not use Google Analytics; aggregate traffic is measured with a privacy-preserving tool (Plausible or Umami, first-party subdomain, no cookies).

§ 09

International transfers

Our primary infrastructure is in Mumbai, India(Contabo data centre). When you call an LLM provider routed through us, your prompt may travel to that provider's servers — typically in the United States or the EU. EU Standard Contractual Clauses (2021/914/EU) and, where relevant, UK IDTA are incorporated by reference into our sub-processor agreements. See /dpa#transfers.

§ 10

Security

Technical and organizational measures are documented in detail at /security. Highlights: TLS 1.3 everywhere, bcrypt password hashing, HttpOnly session cookies, HMAC-SHA256 webhook signatures, tenant- scoped queries, and hourly integrity checks on the Alembic schema.

§ 11

Changes to this policy

We review this policy at least annually and whenever we add or remove a sub- processor. Material changes are announced by email and in the dashboard at least 30 days before they take effect.

§ 12
