Mediator: Couples Therapy
Effective date: August 27, 2026
Mediator lets two partners talk privately with the same AI mediator. Each partner sees only their own messages and the mediator's replies to them. The AI can consider both perspectives, but one partner never receives the other partner's raw messages.
This policy explains what Mediator collects, how it is collected and used, which service providers receive it, how long it is kept, and the choices available to you.
Mediator asks for your permission in the app before using third-party AI services. If you allow AI data sharing, the information sent for a text response can include what you write, relevant conversation history from both partners, session summaries, and mediator notes. When you request transcription, the voice recording you just made is sent for that purpose.
Mediator's Cloudflare-hosted service sends this data to OpenRouter, which routes it to OpenAI to transcribe audio and generate mediator replies, summaries, and notes. OpenRouter is configured not to allow model providers to use chat content for training or data collection. OpenRouter does not retain prompt and response content by default, and OpenAI does not use API inputs or outputs to train its models by default. Providers may retain limited data when required for security, abuse prevention, or law, under their applicable business and privacy terms.
If you choose Not Now, Mediator does not send your messages or recordings to OpenRouter or OpenAI and AI conversations remain unavailable. You can later allow sharing from the same screen, or turn it off again in Settings.
Mediator does not sell personal information and does not use relationship content for advertising.
Relationship data is stored in a Cloudflare Durable Object dedicated to the couple. A limited Cloudflare D1 directory stores routing and liveness information needed to locate that object. Data is encrypted in transit, and the hosting platform provides encryption at rest.
Messages, summaries, and mediator notes are kept while the couple uses Mediator so conversations can continue across sessions. Choosing Leave couple or Delete my dataremoves the couple's active relationship data, including both partners' messages and mediator notes. Operational security and diagnostic records may remain for a limited period, and service providers retain data according to their policies and legal obligations.
These providers receive only the information needed for the stated purpose. Their applicable contracts, terms, and data-protection commitments require safeguards designed to provide the same or equivalent protection for personal information described in this policy.
To request access, correction, or deletion, or to ask a privacy question, email ale@alepacheco.dev. Include enough information to identify the relevant account, but do not email relationship messages or other sensitive content.
Mediator is not directed to children under 13 or the higher minimum age required in their country. Mediator does not knowingly collect personal information from a child below that age. Contact us if you believe a child has provided information so it can be reviewed and deleted.
Mediator and its providers use technical and organizational safeguards intended to protect personal information. No internet service can guarantee absolute security. Providers may process information in the United States and other countries where they operate, subject to their transfer safeguards and applicable law.
This policy may be updated as Mediator's practices or providers change. The current version and effective date will remain available at this URL.
