Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Coachyn is an agentic AI coaching platform. This policy covers the Coachyn website and the coaching service behind it. For anything privacy-related, email [email protected] — that address goes to a person, not a queue.

2. What we collect

Account details

Your name, email address, and password (stored only as a hash, never in readable form). If you subscribe, the billing details our payment processor needs — we don't store your card number.

Coaching content

This is the substance of the product: the goals you set, the steps you commit to, the messages between you and your coach, the follow-ups scheduled for you, and your progress against what you agreed to.

Conversations are stored as individual messages within a coaching session. Because AI context windows are finite, older messages are periodically condensed into a rolling summary of the session so your coach can hold the thread without replaying everything you've ever said.

Preferences

Your accountability intensity, any custom coach name or tone, the channels you've opted into, and your quiet hours.

Contact channels

Your phone number if you enable SMS check-ins, and a device push token if you enable push notifications. Both are used only to deliver the check-ins you asked for.

Technical data

Server logs including IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps — kept for security, debugging, and abuse prevention. We also collect cookie-free website analytics events through Umami, such as page URL, referrer, browser language, screen size, and page title, so we can understand aggregate site usage. See the Cookie Policy for what this site stores in your browser.

What we ask you not to send

Please don't put clinical records, government identifiers, or payment card details into a coaching conversation or the contact form. Coachyn isn't designed to hold that class of information, and it doesn't need it to coach you.

3. Why we hold it

What	Why
Account details	To create your account, sign you in, and contact you about the service.
Coaching content	To provide the coaching — a coach that forgets is not much of a coach.
Preferences and channels	To reach you the way you asked to be reached, and no other way.
Technical data	To keep the service secure, available, and free of abuse.
Billing data	To take payment and meet our tax and accounting obligations.

Where the law requires a lawful basis, we rely on performance of our contract with you for the service itself, your consent for proactive messaging channels, our legitimate interests in keeping the service secure and improving it, and legal obligation for financial records.

Your coaching history is used to coach you more precisely — to notice patterns, reference what you committed to last week, and adjust the plan when something isn't working. It is not used to judge you, and it is not sold.

4. AI processing

Coaching responses are generated by AI models. To produce a response, the relevant part of your coaching context — recent messages, the session summary, your goal and preferences — is sent to the model provider we use for that purpose.

We select providers on the basis that submitted content is not used to train their public models. The specific providers in use are listed in section 6 and will be kept current on this page.

5. Who else sees it

We don't sell your data and we don't share it for advertising. We do use service providers to operate Coachyn, and they only process data on our instructions:

• Hosting and infrastructure — to run the application and store its database.
• AI model providers — to generate coaching responses, as described above.
• Payment processing — to take subscription payments. Card details go to them, not to us.
• Messaging delivery — email, push, and SMS providers, used only for channels you enabled.
• Privacy-focused analytics — Umami, used to measure aggregate website usage without advertising cookies.

We may also disclose data where the law requires it, or to protect the rights and safety of our users or the public.

6. Sub-processors

A current list of the specific providers in each category above will be published here and kept up to date. If you need it before then, ask us and we'll tell you.

7. How long we keep it

• While your account is open — your coaching history is kept, because that's what makes the coaching work.
• After you delete your account — account and coaching data is deleted within 30 days, other than anything we must retain by law.
• Billing records — kept for as long as tax and accounting law requires, typically several years.
• Server logs — kept for a short retention window and then discarded.

8. Your rights

You remain the person responsible for your own growth, and that extends to your data. Depending on where you live, you can ask us to:

• give you a copy of the data we hold about you;
• correct anything that's wrong;
• delete your account and its coaching records;
• restrict or object to certain processing;
• withdraw consent for messaging channels — at any time, without affecting anything else.

Email [email protected] and we'll respond within one month. If you're in a jurisdiction with a data protection authority, you can also complain to it.

9. Security

Traffic is encrypted in transit. Passwords are hashed. Access to production data is limited to people who need it to run the service. No system is perfect, and we won't pretend otherwise — if a breach affects you, we'll tell you.

10. International transfers

Our providers may process data outside the country you live in. Where that happens we rely on the transfer mechanisms available under applicable law, such as standard contractual clauses.

11. Children

Coachyn is not for people under 18. We don't knowingly collect data from children; if you believe a child has created an account, tell us and we'll remove it.

12. What Coachyn is not

Coachyn provides coaching support around practical goals, habits, decisions, planning, and follow-through. It is not therapy, it does not diagnose or treat clinical mental-health conditions, and it does not provide licensed medical, psychological, legal, or regulated financial advice. This matters for privacy too: your coaching content is not a medical record and isn't held to that regime. If you're in crisis, contact your local emergency services or a qualified professional.

13. Changes to this policy

We'll update this page as the product changes and update the date at the top. For material changes we'll tell you directly rather than relying on you re-reading it.
