Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026

1. Information We Collect

Account data: Your email address (used solely for authentication). We do not collect your name, phone number, or any other personally identifying information.

Usage data: Anonymous analytics such as page views and feature usage to improve the App. This data cannot be traced back to you.

User-generated content: Vents, responses, journal entries, and vault items you create within the App.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To authenticate your account and provide the service
  • To moderate content and enforce community guidelines
  • To provide AI-powered features (Comfort Coach, content categorization)
  • To improve the App through anonymous analytics

Vent is built on anonymity. Other users never see your email or any identifying information. You are represented only by your chosen profile emoji.

6. Security

We use industry-standard encryption and security measures to protect your data. All data is transmitted over HTTPS. Database access is protected by row-level security policies ensuring you can only access your own data.
