Who is responsible

TaVyro GmbH, Albisriederstrasse 248, 8047 Zurich, Switzerland is responsible for processing personal data on philofi.com. Contact: contact@philofi.com.

What we process

The messages you write to philofi. and the replies generated for you. You decide what you write. Some of it may be personal or sensitive (for example about health, relationships or sexuality); we process it only to generate the reply you asked for. We do not store chat contents on our own servers.

If you create an account: your email address, a secure hash of your password (never the password itself), whether your email is verified, login dates, and monthly message counts used for the closed test phase and fair use overview.

If you join the waitlist: your email address and the date you consented, only so we can tell you when philofi. opens. You can ask us to delete this at any time.

Technical data that every website needs to work, such as browser type and time of access, which our hosting provider records in server logs. For abuse prevention we may keep a keyed hash of an IP address — never the raw IP address.

We do not use advertising, tracking or analytics tools, and we do not set marketing or tracking cookies.

Cookies we use

Only strictly necessary cookies: a session cookie (philofi_session) when you sign in, kept for up to 90 days so you stay signed in; and a guest cookie (philofi_guest) for up to one year so we can count free messages fairly. Clearing cookies does not reset the free-message limit tied to the hashed network identifier.

Where your conversations go

To generate replies, your messages are sent to Microsoft Azure OpenAI. The AI model runs in Microsoft's data centre in Switzerland (Switzerland North). Your messages are not used to train AI models.

Microsoft may store messages and replies for a limited period (currently up to 30 days) for automated abuse monitoring. Content flagged by these systems may be reviewed by authorised Microsoft staff. This is a technical condition of the service and independent of philofi.

Account data, usage counters, sessions and waitlist entries are stored in Microsoft Azure Table Storage in Switzerland North. Transactional emails (verification, password reset) are sent via Microsoft Azure Communication Services with data location in Switzerland.

The website and its server functions are hosted by Vercel Inc. (USA). The server functions run in Frankfurt (EU). Because Vercel is a US company, access by US authorities cannot be fully excluded; transfers rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

How long we keep data

Guest conversations are not stored on our servers. They exist only in your open browser tab and are gone when you close it. A message you start typing on the home page is kept briefly in your browser's session storage so it can be carried over to the chat.

Account and usage data are kept while your account exists, or until you ask us to delete them. Waitlist entries are kept until launch notification or until you ask us to remove them.

Server logs and Microsoft's abuse-monitoring data are kept for the periods set by those providers.

Age

philofi. is intended for adults aged 18 and over.

Your rights

Under the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) you can request information about your personal data, and ask for correction or deletion. Write to contact@philofi.com. You can also contact the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).
