Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 2026This Privacy Policy describes how epictetus.world ("we", "us", "the platform") collects, uses, and handles information when you use our website and services.
What we collect
We collect only the minimum information necessary to operate the platform:
- Email address — if you voluntarily submit it via the waitlist form. We use this only to notify you of platform updates. We do not sell, rent, or share your email address with any third party.
- Conversation content — messages you send to the AI are processed by Anthropic's API in order to generate responses. We do not store conversation history on our servers. Each session starts fresh.
- Analytics data — we use GoatCounter, a privacy-first analytics tool that does not use cookies and does not collect personal data. It records page views and approximate country of origin only.
Cookies
We use a single cookie to remember that you have dismissed the cookie notice. We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or any third-party cookies for marketing purposes.
Third-party services
- Anthropic API — your messages are processed by Anthropic to generate AI responses. Anthropic's privacy policy applies to data processed through their API. See anthropic.com/privacy.
- Google Fonts — we load fonts from Google's servers. Google may collect standard web server logs. See Google's privacy policy for details.
- GoatCounter — anonymous, cookie-free analytics. No personal data collected. See goatcounter.com/privacy.
- Netlify — our hosting provider processes web traffic. Netlify's privacy policy applies. See netlify.com/privacy.
