SlipUp™ Observatory stores moments in two modes:
- Local only: if sharing is off, your moment stays on your device.
- Shared: if sharing is on, your moment is sent to Supabase and used in aggregate observatory signals.
For shared moments, we use a coarse regional bucket derived from timezone-like data (for example: country/region level), not exact GPS coordinates.
We do not require account creation to contribute. We use anti-abuse metadata (for example request fingerprint headers) to protect service quality.
AI inference (Groq). When AI-assisted features are enabled, we use Groq (Groq Inc.) as an external inference provider to process certain text you enter or that is sent as part of a moment or reading flow, and to generate readings or related outputs inside the service. That processing is for operating those features and maintaining service quality, not for unrelated advertising. Groq acts as a processor or sub-processor of personal data under Groq’s agreements and documentation.
Depending on configuration, data sent to Groq may be handled with limited retention for service reliability and abuse prevention, or with stronger minimization when Zero Data Retention is enabled for our deployment. Groq’s documentation describes default handling, optional Zero Data Retention, and that inference-related retention can be up to thirty days in some cases. Cached prompt data used for compatible requests (prompt caching) expires after about two hours without further use. Processed data may be stored on infrastructure in the United States (for example Google Cloud Platform regions as described by Groq).
For current details, see Groq’s documentation on your data in GroqCloud, the Customer Data Processing Addendum, and prompt caching.
You can stop sharing at any time by keeping sharing disabled when saving a new moment.
Moderation and safety. When we handle reports or moderate shared content, we may process related data (for example moment identifiers, timestamps, coarse technical metadata, and brief internal notes) and retain it only as long as needed for safety, audit, dispute resolution, or legal compliance. We aim to minimise what we keep. See the Terms for acceptable use and reporting.
