GDPR note: Conversations about faith and Scripture may constitute special category data under Article 9 of the GDPR (religious beliefs). We process this data on the basis of your explicit consent, given when you create an account and begin using Theo. You may withdraw consent at any time by deleting your account.
We collect and process data only to operate and improve Theos. Specifically:
We will never use your data for advertising, sell it to third parties, or use it in ways not described here.
Legal basis (GDPR): Consent and legitimate interests. Account data and conversation processing are based on your consent. Analytics are processed under legitimate interests, with anonymization as a safeguard.
All data is stored in Supabase, with encryption at rest and in transit.
Raw conversation messages are automatically and permanently deleted after 7 days via a scheduled process. During your conversations, we extract structured signals — such as topics discussed, Scripture referenced, and engagement patterns — which are stored separately in a pseudonymized form without your raw message text. These signals are used to personalize your experience and improve the product. Account and reading data is retained until you delete your account.

Theos is intended for people aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has created an account, please contact us at kat@hitheo.io and we will delete it promptly.
