What we know about you. What we don’t.

Fatement is a private reflection tool. We built it that way because identity work requires honesty, and honesty requires safety. This policy explains exactly what happens to your data, in plain language.

The short version

• No account required. No email collected. No name, no profile.
• Your interview responses are processed by AI to generate your results, then stored in our database if you choose to save them.
• We use one essential cookie to maintain your session. Optional analytics cookies (Google Analytics and PostHog) only if you consent.
• You can delete all your data with one click.
• We do not sell your data. Analytics are only used with your consent.

Who operates Fatement

Fatement is operated by Kuinka Oy (Business ID: 3451889-2), based in Helsinki, Finland. We are subject to Finnish and EU data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

What data we collect

Data you provide during the interview

When you complete an interview, your responses are sent to our servers for AI processing. This includes:

• Your written answers to each interview question
• The questions the AI generated for you
• The resulting archetype analysis and artifacts

This data is stored in our database so you can return to your results. It is also cached in your browser’s localStorage for faster access.

The Life Audit sheet

The Life Audit canvas at /life-auditis different. It makes no network request at all. What you type there is written to your own browser’s localStorage and stays on your device: there is no copy on any server, and nothing there is sent to us or to any AI service. Clearing your browser data clears it, and we cannot recover it.

There is exactly one way that changes, and it needs a deliberate action from you. If you press the button at the bottom of that page to start an interview from what you wrote, the answers on the sheet are sent with your interview at that moment, and not before. From then on they are treated like the interview data described above: stored against your anonymous session token, sent to Anthropic’s Claude API as part of the interview, and deleted whenever you delete the session. Starting an interview any other way sends nothing from the sheet.

Session identity

We assign your browser a random session token, stored as a secure cookie. This token is hashed before being stored in our database. We never store the raw token.

We do not collect your name, email, IP address, or any personally identifiable information. Your interview data is linked only to this anonymous session token.

Payment data

If you purchase premium results, payment is processed entirely by Stripe. We receive a confirmation that payment succeeded, but we never see or store your card number, billing address, or payment details.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics (GA4) and PostHog to understand how the site is used in aggregate: page views, session duration, device type, and which features get used. Both set cookies and, in PostHog’s case, may also use your browser’s localStorage. Neither is set until you consent through the cookie banner, and both are fully optional. You can decline them there, or revoke consent later using the cookie settings link in our footer. You can also opt out of Google Analytics specifically with a browser extension like Google Analytics Opt-out.

See our Cookie Policy for the full list.

How your data is processed by AI

Your interview responses are sent to Anthropic’s Claude API for analysis. This is how we generate your archetype profile and artifacts. Important details:

• Anthropic does not use API inputs to train their models. This is stated in their privacy policy.
• Your data is transmitted over encrypted connections (TLS).
• We do not store Anthropic’s raw API responses beyond the structured results.

How long we keep your data

Your interview data is retained for as long as your session cookie is valid, 90 days from your last activity. Once the cookie lapses, that data becomes eligible for deletion and is purged in periodic cleanup.

You do not have to wait 90 days. You can delete your data immediately at any time by clicking “Delete my data” on your results page. This permanently removes your session, interview turns, analysis results, and artifacts from our database.

Your rights under GDPR

As a data subject under EU law, you have the right to:

• Access your data (your results page shows everything we have)
• Rectify your data (contact us at hello@fatement.net to correct anything inaccurate)
• Delete your data (the “Delete my data” button)
• Export / port your data in a machine-readable format (the “Export Markdown” button)
• Object to processing (contact us at hello@fatement.net)
• Lodge a complaint with the Finnish Data Protection Ombudsman (tietosuoja.fi)

Where your data is stored

We work with a small set of named sub-processors, each handling a specific part of the service:

• Vercel: hosting and infrastructure
• Neon: database, where your interview data and artifacts are stored
• Anthropic: AI processing of your interview responses (does not train on your data, see above)
• Stripe: payment processing (PCI DSS compliant; we never see your card details)
• Google: analytics, only with consent
• PostHog: analytics, only with consent

These providers may process data outside the EU. Where that happens, the transfer is covered by an appropriate safeguard, such as the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or Standard Contractual Clauses, and adequacy decisions where applicable.

Children

Fatement is not intended for anyone under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has used this service, contact us and we will delete the data immediately.

Changes to this policy

We will update this page when our data practices change. The “last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
