Effective July 21, 2026
Project Hindsight is operated by Surefoot, a solo-run company in the United States. This page explains what we collect, why, and how you can get it back or have it deleted. We’d rather write this in plain English than bury it in boilerplate.
We use your data to run the product: storing and displaying your journal, sending you review reminders, authenticating you, and, for Pro users, transcribing voice notes and generating insights about your own decisions. That’s it. We don’t run ads, and we don’t sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for marketing purposes.
Your decisions, reviews, and voice recordings are never used to train AI models, ours or anyone else’s. Content sent to OpenAI (for transcription) or Anthropic (for insights) is sent solely to generate a response for you, under each provider’s API terms, which contractually prohibit using API inputs for model training.
We rely on a small number of infrastructure providers to run the service: Supabase (database, authentication, file storage), Resend (transactional email), OpenAI (voice transcription for Pro users), Anthropic (AI insights for Pro users), and Stripe (payment processing, if and when you subscribe to a paid plan). Each only receives the data it needs to do its job.
We keep your account and journal data for as long as your account is active. Voice recordings follow the retention preference you set in Settings (never auto-delete, 30 days, or 1 year). If you delete your account, we delete your data within a reasonable period, except where we’re required to retain records (e.g. payment records for tax purposes).
You can export everything you’ve logged (decisions, reviews, principles, and preferences) as a JSON file at any time from Settings. To request deletion of your account and data, or to ask any question about what we hold on you, email hello@projecthindsight.ai and we’ll handle it directly. There’s no support queue to get lost in.
Your journal data is protected by row-level security in our database, meaning it’s scoped to your account and inaccessible to other users by design. Voice recordings are stored in private storage, not publicly accessible. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable, industry-standard measures to protect your data.
If we make material changes, we’ll update the effective date above and, where practical, let you know directly.
Project Hindsight is built and run by Brian at Surefoot, based in the United States. Reach out any time at hello@projecthindsight.ai.
