This is a working draft, not the final policy. It says what Recess
actually does today so nothing here is untrue, but a lawyer has not written or
reviewed it. Version 2026-08-17-draft.
What Recess holds
- Your email address, and your name if you gave one.
- What you tell it, in chat and by voice.
- Anything you connect on purpose: your calendar, Fathom meeting transcripts,
Limitless recordings. Nothing is connected unless you connect it.
- What it concludes from all of that: your North Star, your games, the
patterns it thinks it sees.
Who else sees it
Recess is not the only company involved in running Recess. These are the ones
that receive your data, and why:
- Anthropic - the model that reads your ledger and answers you.
- Supabase - the database it all lives in.
- Railway - the servers it runs on.
- Google - only your calendar, and only if you connect it.
- Fathom and Limitless - only if you connect them.
- Resend - sends the emails.
- Groq and ElevenLabs - only if you use the voice. Groq turns
what you say into text; ElevenLabs is how Recess speaks back.
Recess does not sell your data and does not run advertising.
Recording other people
If you connect Limitless, Recess reads recordings that contain other people's
words. Getting their agreement is on you, not on us. Tell people when you
are recording. It is the law in many places, and it is the decent thing anywhere.
The microphone
When you tap the mic and speak, the recording goes to Groq to be turned into text.
Recess does not store it. The words come back into the message box for you to read and
edit before anything is sent, and typing is always there instead.
How long it is kept
- Your ledger stays as long as your account does.
- Delete your account and collection stops immediately. Everything is erased
7 days later, and you can restore it until then.
- Backups of the whole database are kept briefly and then expire.
Asking for your data
Write to us and we will send you what we hold on you. That includes what you
gave Recess and what Recess concluded about you. It does not include how the
conclusions are made, which is ours.
Age
Recess is for adults. You must be 18 or older.
