what you share stays close.

you're trusting us with the tender parts: your history, your hopes, your face. we keep only what helps us introduce you well, and we never sell any of it.

what we hold

• how to reach you: name, email, phone, instagram, neighborhood.
• who you are and who you're drawn to: gender, orientation, age range, what you're looking for, kids, lifestyle, work.
• the most personal details, only if you offer them: your background, your faith, and how much they matter to you.
• your birthday, birth time and birthplace, a quiet input for astrology.
• your answers, written or spoken, and your photos.
• notes from our calls and how your introductions went.
• in the app: your daily answers, your conversations with your companion, and the weekly notes it writes for your matchmaker.
• whether you've paid. stripe handles your card; we never see it.

how we use it

• to read you carefully and find someone worth meeting.
• to reach out about your application, your introductions and our gatherings.
• your photos and answers are seen only by your matchmaker. there is no public profile, ever.
• when we introduce you, we share your first name and the reason. anything more, like a photo or your number, only with your yes.

where it rests

with the few services that help us run willing: supabase for your answers and photos, vercel for the site, stripe for payments, our email provider, and anthropic, whose ai (claude) powers your companion in the app. only the willing team can open it.

your companion

• your companion is an ai, not a person and not a therapist.
• to coach you, it sees your first name, who you are and who you'd like to meet, a few of your intake answers, your daily answers and your conversations with it.
• it writes a short note each week for your matchmaker, and you can read those notes too.
• if you mention being in crisis, it will point you to 988 or 911. it can't call anyone for you.

always yours

• ask to see, change or delete anything, anytime. we'll do it within 30 days.
• skip any question that isn't required.
• step away from our emails whenever you like.

how long we keep it

while you're with us. if you leave or it isn't the right time, we let your photos and intake go within 12 months, unless you ask us to hold onto you for a future season.

questions, or something doesn't sit right? reply to any email from willing.
