What is kept

Written plainly, because you are entitled to know before you type.

This is not a legal document written to protect us. It is a description of what the software actually does, checked against the running code rather than against what we intended it to do. Where something is imperfect, it says so.

When you talk to Earth

Every exchange is written to a file on a server we run. That record holds:

the time
a session identifier, which lasts as long as the page is open
a conversation identifier, which your browser keeps so Earth can pick up where you left off
your exact words, and Earth's reply
a one-way hash of your network address, not the address itself

Anything you type is stored as you typed it. If you write your name, your email address, or something private about your life, that is what goes in the file. Earth will not ask you for those things, and you do not need to give them to have the conversation.

There is no profile of you. No vector database, no knowledge graph, no retrieval index, no advertising identifier, and nothing is sold or shared with anyone. Earth reads a set of documents and your conversation. That is all it has.

How Earth appears to remember you

Your browser holds the conversation identifier in local storage under iami-conv. When you come back, the page sends it and the conversation resumes. That memory lives in your browser, not in an account. Clear your browsing data, or open the site on a different device, and it is gone permanently. There is nothing we can do to recover it, because there is nothing linking it to you.

If a conversation grows too long to hold at once, Earth reads back the earlier part and writes its own summary of it, and tells you in the transcript when that happens. The original turns are then outside what it can see.

If you leave an email address

From the footer form. We store your address, the date, which page you sent it from, and the language. Nothing else, and it is not connected to any conversation. It exists so we can write to you when something real happens.

From inside a conversation with Earth. This one is different and you should know exactly how. We store the same four things plus the identifier of that conversation, because the whole point is to be able to give the conversation back to you. We then email you a link that does exactly that, once.

The link carries a random one-use token, never the conversation identifier itself. The token is spent the first time it is opened and is dead afterwards, even inside its lifetime.
The token expires after seven days, and the record binding it to your conversation is deleted at that point.
Anyone who opens that link can read that conversation. That is what makes it work on your other phone, and it is also the reason not to forward it. The email says so too.

Until you leave an address, there is nothing anywhere connecting a conversation to a person. Leaving one creates that link deliberately, which is why Earth only offers it and never asks twice.

Rate limiting and abuse

Your network address is held in memory, not written to the conversation log, so that the service can limit how fast messages arrive and so that Earth can end a conversation with someone who is being abusive. If that happens, the address is recorded so that person cannot return.

How long it is kept

Conversation records go back to 17 March 2026 and are currently kept indefinitely. We have not set a deletion schedule, and rather than imply one exists, this page says plainly that it does not.

One honest gap. Network addresses were only replaced with one-way hashes on 14 August 2026. Records written before that date still contain the address in readable form: 835 exchanges between 17 March and 14 August. Everything written since is hashed. Cleaning the older records is irreversible and has not been done yet. It is named here rather than left out, because a page like this is worth nothing if it only lists the parts we got right.

Having your conversation removed

Write to onebody@iami.earth and it will be deleted. If you still have the conversation open, the fastest way to identify it is to send the conversation identifier: open the chat, and it is stored in your browser under iami-conv. If you do not have it, describe roughly when you visited and what you talked about, and we will find it. You do not have to explain why.
