Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 4, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how The Villa (we) collects, uses, and protects your personal data when you use our app and website. The Villa is a house of artificial-intelligence mentors you talk with. By using The Villa, you agree to the practices described below.

1. Data we collect

We collect only what the app needs to work:

  • Account: your name and email, through our login provider (Clerk).
  • Conversations: the messages you exchange with the mentors.
  • Voice messages: when you record audio, we capture the sound through your device's microphone. The microphone is only accessed when you choose to record.
  • App usage: basic data about how you use the app, to understand and improve the experience.
  • Notifications: an identifier for your device, to send notifications.
  • Technical data: basic device information and access logs.

2. How we use your data

We use your data to operate and provide the app, generate the mentors' responses, send notifications, improve the product, and maintain security.

3. Artificial intelligence

Your conversations and voice messages are processed by third-party artificial-intelligence providers to generate the mentors' responses.

We do not use your conversations to train AI models and we do not perform human review of your conversations.

4. Sharing

We do not sell your data. We share information only with the services that make the app work and that act on our behalf:

  • Clerk — login and authentication
  • AI providers — generating the mentors' responses
  • Google Firebase — sending notifications

We may also disclose data when required by law.

5. Where we process your data

Your data is processed and stored in the United States. By using the app, you agree to this processing outside Brazil.

6. Your rights

Under Brazil's General Data Protection Law (LGPD), you have the right to access, correct, and delete your personal data. You can delete your data at any time: just leave the Villa and delete your account in the account settings. For any other request, contact us at the email below.

7. Retention

We keep your data while your account is active. If you delete your account, we remove your personal data, except what we must keep for legal obligations.

8. Minimum age

The Villa is intended for people aged 18 or older.

9. Important notice

The Villa offers conversations with AI mentors for reflection and general support. It does not replace professional advice — medical, psychological, legal, or financial. Responses are generated by AI and may contain errors. If you are going through an emotional crisis, seek professional help. In Brazil, the CVV provides free and confidential support by phone at 188.

10. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top indicates the last update.
