Privacy

Effective November 8, 2026

Qualiaverse LLC runs circle and is responsible for this data. Contact: contact@qualiaverse.com.

Data and use

We collect your sign-in details (email address, phone number, or the name and email Google or Apple share), your chats (messages, times, time zone) and notes kept from them, your notification address if you turn notifications on, and messages you report. We use them to provide and improve circle, including shaping replies with what you've said across your chats. You need to provide them to use circle. In the EU, EEA and UK the legal bases are our contract with you and our legitimate interest in improving circle (GDPR art. 6(1)(b) and (f)).

Who receives it

Our service providers: Google Cloud, which hosts circle, stores the data in the United States and generates the replies; and Apple, Google and browser makers, for sign-in and notifications. No third party tracks your activity over time or across other websites through circle, so circle does nothing different when a browser sends Do Not Track.

Retention

Until you delete your account (in circle: chats, then delete account). Server logs, with account IDs but not what you write, are kept up to 30 days.

Your rights

Write to contact@qualiaverse.com to see, correct or delete your data. In the EU, EEA and UK you can also ask us to restrict or port it, object to its use, and complain to your data protection authority.

Crisis protocol

In the circle apps, an automated check reads each message for suicide or self-harm and, when it finds it, circle shows crisis lines: 988 in the US and Canada, findahelpline.com elsewhere. circle's replies are designed not to encourage self-harm.

Changes
