Privacy Policy
On this page
01 Overview
Loci is a personal memory assistant. You forward messages to it — over WhatsApp or SMS — and it remembers what you've told it so you can ask about it later. This policy explains what information we collect when you use Loci, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Loci is operated by Loci LLC, a California limited liability company, as an early-stage service. If you have any questions, see Contact us below.
02 Information we collect
When you message Loci, we collect:
- Your phone number, as the sender of the message.
- The content of your messages — text, and any photos, voice notes, or other files you send.
- Timestamps for when messages are sent and received.
We only collect what you actively send to Loci. We do not access your contacts, your other messages, or anything else on your device.
03 How we use it
We use what you send to:
- Build and maintain a personal memory profile — facts, plans, and context you've shared — so Loci can answer questions about them later.
- Generate replies to your messages, including deciding whether a message is something worth remembering or just a question.
- Improve the reliability and quality of the service.
We do not use your information for advertising, and we do not sell it to anyone.
04 How we store it
Your information is stored in a private, access-controlled database that is not publicly accessible. As Loci grows from an early-stage service into a broader product, we are continuing to invest in the technical safeguards protecting your data.
06 Google Calendar
Connecting your Google Calendar is entirely optional, set up from Settings, and never required to use Loci. You choose exactly how much access to grant — free/busy only, full read, or create & edit — and Loci never requests more than that choice allows. Once connected, Loci can answer calendar questions and, at the create & edit level, create or modify events on your behalf, always with your confirmation before anything is written.
Nothing Loci reads from your calendar is ever stored — a calendar lookup is a live request made only to answer the question you asked in that moment, the same as asking a person to check a calendar and tell you what's on it. The one exception: if Loci creates an event on your behalf, it keeps a lightweight record of that event's Google-assigned ID (not the event's content) so it can look the event back up later.
You can disconnect Google Calendar at any time from Settings. Disconnecting revokes Loci's access at Google and deletes the stored connection — it does not merely turn it off.
Loci's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
07 Text messaging (SMS) consent
Loci has one opt-in method: you message our WhatsApp or SMS number first. There is no separate signup form or checkbox — sending us a message is how you give consent to receive replies back from us on that same number.
Message frequency depends entirely on how often you message us — we only reply when you write to us, never on our own schedule. Message and data rates may apply, depending on your mobile plan. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
Reply STOP at any time to a text from Loci to opt out of SMS messages; reply HELP for help. See Your choices below for how to opt out entirely or request deletion.
08 Retention and deletion
We retain your information for as long as your account is active, so Loci can continue to answer questions about things you've shared in the past. If you'd like your data deleted, contact us (see below) and we will remove it.
09 Your choices
You can ask us, at any time, to:
- Tell you what information we have about you.
- Correct information that's inaccurate.
- Delete your information entirely.
You can also stop using Loci at any time by simply no longer messaging it, or by replying STOP to opt out of SMS messages.
10 Children's privacy
Loci is not directed at, or intended for use by, anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
11 Changes to this policy
As Loci develops, this policy may be updated. The effective date at the top of this page will always reflect the latest version.
