Privacy Policy

Last updated: 25 May 2026  ·  Effective: 25 May 2026

Important: Sivolo is an analytical tool designed to help you recognise patterns in your own communications. It is not a crisis service, not a replacement for professional legal or psychological advice, and not connected to emergency services. If you are in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services. For domestic abuse support, please contact a helpline in your country:

1. Who we are

Sivolo is operated by Sivolo Limited, a company incorporated in England and Wales (Company Number 17240351), with its registered office at 51 St Marys Road, Tonbridge, TN9 2LE.

Sivolo Limited is the data controller for the personal data described in this policy. We are registered with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) as a data controller.

You can contact us about data protection matters at: privacy@sivolo.app

2. What data we collect and why

2.1 Data you provide to run an analysis

To analyse a message log, you paste or upload the text of a conversation. This content typically includes:

When you run an analysis, this content is sent from your device to our secure backend server over an encrypted HTTPS connection, and forwarded to the Anthropic API where the analysis is performed. Our server holds the content in memory only for the duration of that request — it is never written to disk, never logged, and never stored in any database. Once the analysis result is returned to your device, the content is gone from our servers.

Analysis results and your message history are stored on your device only, encrypted using AES-256-GCM. We have no access to data stored on your device.

2.2 Account and entitlement data (paid tier)

If you create an account or make a purchase, we process:

2.3 Technical data

Our backend logs standard server request metadata (IP address, timestamp, HTTP status code, response time) for security monitoring and reliability. These logs are retained for 7 days and are not linked to your identity or to the content of your analyses.

We do not use advertising trackers, analytics SDKs, or behavioural tracking of any kind.

Crash reports are opt-in only. If you enable crash reporting, reports are scrubbed of all message content and personally identifiable information before transmission.

3. Special category data

Message logs you submit for analysis may contain sensitive personal information relating to domestic abuse, coercive control, sexual conduct, health, or other special category data as defined by UK GDPR Article 9. We process this data solely for the purpose of providing the analysis you have requested, on the basis of your explicit consent (Article 9(2)(a) UK GDPR).

You give this consent by actively choosing to submit a message log for analysis. You can withdraw your consent at any time by deleting your data from the app. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

We handle this data with particular care. Message content is never stored on our servers, never used to train machine learning models, and never shared with third parties except as described in Section 5.

Anthropic does not use data submitted through the API to train its models. International transfers to the US are made under appropriate safeguards (Anthropic's standard contractual clauses and Data Processing Agreement).
