Privacy

You are trusting us with the most personal words you may ever type. Here is exactly what we do with them. Untangle is operated by Rezilium The Institute for Mental Resilience Pty Limited (ABN 52 123 045 009), trading as Untangle, and this policy is designed to comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.

1. Introduction

Rezilium The Institute for Mental Resilience Pty Limited (ABN 52 123 045 009), trading as Untangle ("Untangle", "we", "our" or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal information responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains, in plain language, what we collect, why, who we share it with, and the choices you have when you use the Untangle app at letsuntangle.co or through our mobile applications (the "Service").

This policy is designed to comply with:

  • The Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs)
  • The Notifiable Data Breaches (NDB) scheme
  • Reforms introduced by the Privacy and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2024, including transparency about automated decision-making

By using the Service, you consent to the practices described in this policy and in our Terms & Conditions.

2. What information we collect

2.1 Information you provide

  • Account details: your first name and your email address when you sign in (by email magic link or Google sign-in). We do not require your full legal name, date of birth, or home address to create an account
  • Onboarding answers: the other person's first name, how long you have known them, the mode you choose (a relationship, just me, or work), and the topic you want to work through
  • Session content: the words you write in your sessions with Tara, and the reflections the Service assembles back to you ("what I'm hearing", your synthesis)
  • Invitations and responses: if you invite another person, the message you send, and, once they respond, their side
  • Kept conversations: if you and another person have a live two-person session and choose to keep it, the transcript of that session
  • Feedback and support: anything you send us when you contact us

2.2 Information we collect automatically

  • Membership status: a record that you are on a trial or subscribed. We never receive or store your full card number
  • Product events: a small number of events (for example a heard-check score) tied to a random key, used in aggregate to understand whether the Service is helping. These are not used to profile you by name
  • Technical and usage data: device type, app version, approximate region, IP address, and error or crash logs, to run the Service, keep it secure, and fix problems

2.3 What we ask you not to share

The Service works best with feelings, examples, and specifics about a situation. Please avoid typing highly sensitive identifiers into free text, such as your full legal name, date of birth, home address, Medicare or health identifier numbers, Tax File Number, financial account or card numbers, or government ID numbers. If you share something like this by accident, email kailash@letsuntangle.co and we will delete it.

2.4 Information about other people

Because the Service helps you prepare for real conversations, you may write about another person (for example a partner or a colleague) who is not a user of the Service. We handle that information only to provide the Service to you. We do not contact that person unless you choose to send them an invitation, and what they see is limited to the message you approve (see Section 4).

2.5 Children

The Service is for adults and is not intended for anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn that a person under 18 has provided information, we will delete it. If you believe a child has used the Service, tell us at kailash@letsuntangle.co.

2.6 De-identified and aggregated data

We create aggregated or de-identified data (with details that could identify you removed) to understand trends and improve the Service. De-identified data cannot reasonably be used to identify you and is not subject to the same restrictions as personal information.

3. How we collect information

We collect information directly from you (when you register, use Tara, invite someone, or contact us), automatically (through your device, cookies or similar local storage, server logs, and error reporting), and, if you sign in with Google, the basic profile information Google shares with your permission.

4. What another person sees

Nothing you write is shown to another person until you choose to send it.

  • An invitation link carries only the softer message you approved, not your full private reflection
  • Your private preparation stays on the server as background for Tara. It is never returned in an invitation link or shown to the other person as a document
  • A private note to Tara is never shown to anyone
  • A live two-person conversation happens on your devices. To restore a dropped connection, we hold an encrypted temporary checkpoint for up to 7 days, then delete it. If either person chooses to keep the conversation, it is saved as described in Section 11
  • Shared duo memory is optional: Tara carries forward only a closing agreement, never a transcript. It starts only after both people choose it, and either person can turn it off at any time

Possession of an invite link lets the holder respond to that untangle, so share links only with the person you intend.

5. How we use information

We use your information only to run the Service you came for:

  • To let Tara help you prepare for and have a difficult conversation
  • To carry a message between you and another person when you choose to send it
  • To keep you signed in and manage your account
  • To manage your membership, trial, and payments
  • To understand, in aggregate and de-identified form, whether the Service is helping people
  • To keep the Service secure, prevent misuse, fix problems, and improve reliability
  • To respond to your questions and support requests
  • To send you essential service messages (for example sign-in links, receipts, or an alert you asked for, such as when the person you invited has shared their side)
  • To meet our legal obligations

We do not use your information for advertising, and we do not build a profile of you to sell. We do not send marketing without your consent, and you can opt out at any time.

6. Payments

Membership is handled by Stripe, our payment processor. When you start a trial or subscribe, your card details go directly to Stripe and are stored by Stripe, never by us. We see only enough to know your membership is active. Stripe's handling of your card data is governed by Stripe's own terms and privacy policy.

7. How the AI works

Tara is an AI built on Anthropic's Claude. To generate her replies, your session text is sent to Anthropic under an agreement that your content is not used to train Anthropic's models. It is never used to train ours either. Tara is not a person, not a therapist, and not a substitute for either.

8. Automated decision-making

The Service uses AI to make or substantially assist some decisions using your information. In each case the decision shapes your experience inside the Service only. It never determines your access to essential features, affects your legal rights, provides any diagnosis, or assesses your risk or safety.

  • What Tara says and asks next: using your session content, Tara decides which reflective prompt to offer and what to reflect back
  • What to suggest: using your usage and content, the Service suggests which lesson, exercise, or card deck may help
  • Session pacing: using your responses in a session, the Service adjusts the flow of the conversation

You can ask us for information about these automated decisions, ask for a human to review a decision, or raise a concern, by emailing kailash@letsuntangle.co.

9. Who we share information with

We share information only with the small set of trusted service providers that make the Service run, and only what each needs:

  • Supabase: our database and authentication
  • Vercel: hosting and delivery of the app
  • Anthropic: generating Tara's replies (your content is not used to train their models)
  • Stripe: processing payments (we never receive your full card number)
  • Resend: sending essential emails such as sign-in links and receipts
  • Google: sign-in, if you choose "Continue with Google"

These providers are bound by their own privacy and security obligations and may use your information only to provide services to us. A current list of providers is available on request at kailash@letsuntangle.co.

We may also disclose information where required by law (for example a court order or a lawful request from a regulator such as the OAIC), where necessary to prevent serious harm, to enforce our Terms, or as part of a business transfer (for example a merger or acquisition), in which case the recipient must honour this policy or provide equivalent protection.

What we never do: we never sell your personal information, we never share your words with advertisers, and we never show one person what the other wrote privately.

10. International data transfers

We are based in Australia. Some of our service providers (including Supabase, Vercel, Anthropic, Stripe, Resend, and Google) store or process information overseas, primarily in the United States. When we disclose personal information overseas, we take reasonable steps to ensure it is handled consistently with the Australian Privacy Principles, including through the contractual protections these providers offer. By using the Service, you consent to these overseas disclosures. If you would prefer your data not be processed overseas, contact us, though this may mean we cannot provide the Service.

11. Data security and retention

11.1 Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit, encryption of conversation content at rest, access controls, and limiting internal access to the people who need it to run the Service. No system is perfectly secure, but we treat your words as what they are: among the most personal things you will write. Please use a secure email account and keep your device protected, since sign-in relies on your email.

11.2 Retention

How long we keep information:

  • Session content (your words with Tara, onboarding answers, synthesis): while your account is active, removed from active systems within 30 days of account deletion
  • Kept two-person conversations: saved only if you choose to keep them
  • Live two-person conversations you do not keep: a temporary encrypted checkpoint is held while the room is live (so a dropped connection can rejoin), never linked to any account, and deleted within 7 days
  • Account details (first name, email): while your account is active, then up to 90 days after deletion
  • Product events (random-keyed): retained in de-identified, aggregated form for analytics
  • Membership and payment records: as required by law (Australian financial records must generally be kept for up to 7 years)
  • De-identified and aggregated data: indefinitely (cannot identify you)

We may retain information longer where required by law or to deal with a legal matter or dispute.

11.3 Data breach notification

We are subject to the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme. If an eligible data breach occurs that is likely to result in serious harm to you, we will notify you and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) without unreasonable delay, and tell you what happened, what information was involved, and the steps you can take. If you believe a breach has occurred, contact us immediately at kailash@letsuntangle.co.

12. Your rights

Under the Australian Privacy Principles, you can:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you
  • Correct information that is inaccurate or out of date
  • Export everything, or delete everything, from your account page at any time. Deleting your account removes your sessions, statements, and invitations from our active systems (subject to Section 11 and data already de-identified)
  • Opt out of any non-essential communications
  • Ask about, or request human review of, an automated decision (Section 8)

To exercise any of these, use your account page, or email kailash@letsuntangle.co and a person will answer. We aim to respond within 30 days and will not charge you to make a request.

If you are not satisfied with how we have handled your personal information, you can complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC): oaic.gov.au, phone 1300 363 992.

13. If you are in crisis

The Service is not emergency care and does not monitor for emergencies. If you or someone near you is in danger, contact emergency services on 000, or use Lifeline (13 11 14), Beyond Blue (1300 22 4636), 13YARN (13 92 76), or, for sexual assault, domestic or family violence, 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732). We would rather point you to real human help than pretend to be it.

14. Third-party links

The Service may link to or integrate with third-party services. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Please read their policies before providing information to them.

15. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the Service grows or the law changes. If we make a material change, we will say so plainly in the Service rather than bury it, and update the date below. Your continued use after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
