This is stored by the app on your own device. It is not uploaded, it is not backed up to us, and it is not part of an account anywhere. If you delete the app, it is gone — including from us, because we never had it.
Haveo can listen when you choose to speak instead of type — dictating a message, or practising out loud in Role-Play. Nothing is recorded or kept: your speech is turned into text, the text is what the app uses, and the audio is discarded. iOS asks your permission the first time, and you can withdraw it at any time in iOS Settings.
Where your device can transcribe speech on the phone itself, Haveo asks it to, and the audio never leaves your device. On devices or languages where that is not available, iOS transcribes it using Apple's speech recognition service, which means Apple handles the audio under Apple's privacy policy. Haveo never receives or keeps the audio either way.
Haveo can remind you about an event you added. If you allow it, those reminders are scheduled by your phone, on your phone. There is no server sending you messages, and we cannot send you anything — Haveo has no push notifications at all. You can turn reminders off in iOS Settings.
Haveo's replies are written by Claude, made by Anthropic. When you use an AI feature, your request travels over HTTPS through a relay we run, which forwards it to Anthropic and returns the answer. The relay does not keep your conversations.
What we send depends on what you asked for:
Everything above is sent for one event at a time. Your other events, the reflections you have not asked for coaching on, and the notes about people you have not asked for a draft about, stay on your phone.
Haveo's spoken voice is made by OpenAI. When it reads a reply aloud, the text of that sentence goes through the same relay to OpenAI to be turned into audio. Only that sentence is sent — not your profile, not your event, not the rest of the conversation.
If you turn AI features off, your phone's own built-in voice is used instead, and nothing is sent.
Neither company uses your conversations to train their AI models. Both delete what they receive within about 30 days, which they keep only to catch abuse of their systems. After that it is gone from them too. Their own policies say this in full: Anthropic and OpenAI.
Haveo lets you write down who you met and what you want to remember about them. Those notes live on your phone, and we never see them.
There is one exception, and it is worth knowing before you use it: if you ask Haveo to draft a follow-up message to someone, that person's name and your note about them are sent to Anthropic to write it. That person is not a Haveo user. They did not agree to anything, and they do not know the app exists.
So a suggestion rather than a rule: write about people the way you would be comfortable with them reading. First names or initials are enough for Haveo to be useful, and it is kinder to everyone. What you write about someone is your responsibility.
Before anything is sent to Anthropic or OpenAI, Haveo asks you and waits for you to agree. Until you do, the AI features stay switched off — and everything that runs on your phone alone keeps working as normal.
You can change your mind whenever you like: Profile > AI > Let Haveo answer. Switching it off stops the chat, the file reading and the spoken voice immediately. Nothing you have already saved is deleted.
If you paste a web link while adding an event, Haveo visits that page from your phone to read the details and fill in the form. That website will see the visit the same way it would if you had opened it in your browser. Haveo does not send it anything about you.
Some parts of the app open a website: this policy, our support page, Meetup and Eventbrite when you go looking for events, a Google Form if you ask to be told when a feature is ready, and a search when you want to look up a study we mention. Those open in your own browser and are handled by whoever runs them, under their rules, not ours.
Small fixes can reach Haveo without you downloading a new version from the App Store. For that to work, the app asks Expo — the company whose tools Haveo is built with — whether newer app code is ready, and downloads it if there is. That request says which version of Haveo you have and what kind of phone it is, and carries a random ID for the installation. Nothing you have written is included, and the ID is not tied to a name, an email or an account, because Haveo has none of those.
There is no "delete my account" button because there are no accounts. We cannot recover anything you delete, because we never had a copy.
Haveo is made by a small company in Massachusetts, USA. Anthropic and OpenAI process what you send them on our behalf, under their own data protection agreements. Because your information lives on your phone rather than on our servers, most of it is only ever in your own hands. If you are in the UK or the EU and want to know what we hold about you, the honest answer is almost certainly nothing — but write to us and we will tell you.
Haveo is rated 13+ on the App Store (12+ in some regions and on earlier operating systems) and is not directed at children. We don't knowingly collect any information from children under 13.
