Calypso is for adults.
You must be 18 or older to use Calypso, everywhere. We ask your age when you sign up, we don't knowingly accept anyone under 18, and if we learn an account belongs to a minor we close it and delete its data. If you believe a minor has signed up, email privacy@trycalypso.ai.
Calypso is an AI, not a human, and not therapy.
Every Calypso voice is artificial intelligence. Calypso is not a therapist, not medical care, and not a crisis service. If a conversation suggests you may be in crisis, Calypso will point you to real humans: the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline and the Crisis Text Line. How we do that is published on our Safety page.
We collect only what we need.
Your account, your conversations, your usage of the product, your billing information if you subscribe, and as little else as we can. We don't ask for your government ID, your phone contacts, or your social network.
Your conversations are private to you, and treated as sensitive.
Conversations with Calypso voices are tied to your account and are not visible to other users. Because what you share here can be personal, we treat all conversation content as sensitive data no matter where you live, and we use it only to run the service for you. Incognito mode does not save conversations at all. When an incognito thread closes, it's gone from Calypso.
We do not sell your data, ever.
Not to advertisers, not to brokers, not to anyone. We do not share your personal information for advertising, we run no ad pixels or ad trackers, and we honour the Global Privacy Control signal as an opt-out of sale and sharing.
We do not train AI on your conversations.
We do not use your conversation content to train AI models, and we have not opted in to any AI provider doing so. One provider we use for some features keeps the right, in its own terms, to train on what it receives; section 7.1 of the full policy explains. If our own practice ever changes, it will be off by default and only with your explicit opt-in, and you could change your mind any time.
We share only with the providers we need to run Calypso.
A small set of vetted service providers help us host the app, run AI inference, process payments, and send transactional emails. Each processes your data under its own data processing terms; the full policy (section 7.1) explains where one AI provider's terms allow it more use. We may also disclose information when legally required. We post Calypso's own videos to Calypso's own YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, X and TikTok accounts; that never involves your data.
You can access, correct, export, or delete your data.
Delete conversations and decodes yourself, ask to delete your account from your profile, and email privacy@trycalypso.ai for anything else. We aim to respond promptly to every request, you can appeal if we ever refuse, and you do not lose access to Calypso for exercising any of these rights.
We protect your data.
Traffic between your device and Calypso is encrypted in transit. Our database, which holds your account and conversations, is encrypted at rest, and screenshots are deleted about a day after a decode. Staff access is limited to the people who need it. If a meaningful breach ever affects you, we will notify you as required by law.
