Privacy
Last updated 16 July 2026
You tell this thing what's in your head. You should know exactly where that goes. This is written to be read, not to protect us.
What we know about you
There is no account. No email, no password, no name, no phone number. Your Telegram chat ID — a number — is the whole identity. If you never tell Tangent your name, we don't have it.
We store, on our own server:
- The text of what you say to Tangent, including transcripts of your voice notes.
- The ideas you give it, and its notes and scores about them.
- Your commitments — the 2–3 things you said matter.
- A record of each start attempt: what you were stuck on, what barrier you named, what it suggested, whether you got moving, and whether you said it helped.
- Whether your trial or subscription is active.
Voice notes themselves aren't kept. The audio is transcribed and discarded; only the text remains.
Who else touches it
Tangent isn't magic — it's wired to other companies, and your words pass through them. Precisely:
| Who | What they get | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Telegram | Every message, in both directions | It's the app you're using. Their privacy policy governs it. |
| Groq | Your voice note audio; the text she speaks back | Turns your speech into text, and her text into speech. |
| OpenRouter → Anthropic | Your messages and the context of your ideas and commitments | The actual thinking. OpenRouter routes it; Anthropic's Claude does it. |
| Stripe | Your payment details, and your Telegram chat ID | Takes the money. We never see your card — it never touches our server. |
| Hostinger | Hosts the server everything sits on | The machine has to live somewhere. |
Each of those companies handles your data under their own terms, on their own infrastructure, which may be outside your country. We don't control what they do with it beyond what their agreements say.
Who does not get it
Your coach doesn't. If an ADHD coach told you about Tangent, they get nothing — no transcripts, no ideas, no check-ins, no dashboard, no login. Not by default and not on request. If we ever build a way to share anything with a coach, it will require you to switch it on, and it will never include your raw words.
Nobody else gets it either. We don't sell it, rent it, or hand it to advertisers. There is no analytics tracker on this website.
The one exception is the boring one: if a law compels us to hand something over, we'd have to.
Training
We don't train any AI model on your data. We couldn't — we don't build models. Your words go to Anthropic and Groq through their paid APIs to answer you, and their API terms govern whether they may use it further. Read Anthropic's and Groq's policies if this matters to you. It's a fair thing to care about.
How long it's kept
Until you ask us to delete it. The whole point is that Tangent remembers an idea you mentioned six weeks ago — a thing that forgets is useless here.
To delete everything: say so, in the chat. Everything tied to your chat ID is removed from our server. It can't be undone, and we can't get it back for you. Stripe keeps its own payment records because tax law says it must.
Security, honestly
Your data sits in a database on one server, reachable only over an encrypted connection, and the site is served over HTTPS. That's real, and it isn't a fortress. This is a small product run by one person. If you're carrying something you'd be genuinely harmed by exposing, weigh that.
Your rights
Depending where you live, you may have the right to see your data, correct it, delete it, or take it with you. Just ask in the chat — we'd rather do it than argue about whether you qualify.
Children
Tangent is for adults. It isn't designed or intended for under-18s.
Changes
If this changes in a way that matters, Tangent will tell you in the chat rather than quietly updating a page you'll never revisit.
Contact
Ask in the chat. It reaches a person.
