Privacy

Gladkin friends-test. Last updated November 2026.

The short version

We keep only what's needed to find a time and place for your group. No ads. We never sell your data.

What we store

• Your first name, and an email address if you give one.
• When you're free, your RSVPs and votes, and optional feedback after a get-together.
• Short notes about your preferences (like "vegetarian"), which you can see, edit and delete.
• If you connect Google Calendar: only free/busy times, never event details. The access token is stored encrypted, and you can disconnect any time.

An AI reads what you type

When you type to Gladkin, an AI model (Anthropic's Claude) reads your message to understand it, for example turning "weekends, but not the 12th" into dates. Dates, hosts and who gets messaged are decided by ordinary code, not the AI. Anthropic processes the text under its own privacy terms.

Conversations are short-lived

Chat transcripts are deleted after 30 days. Only the extracted notes (your availability and preferences) are kept, and you can delete those whenever you like.

What your group sees

Feedback reaches your group or host only as anonymous themes ("a quieter place would help"), unless you tick the box saying it can be shared with your name.

Who handles data for us

Cloudflare (hosting), Supabase (database), Anthropic (language understanding), and Google if you connect your calendar.
