Every sentence in your capsule came from you. It is stored encrypted so that our own team cannot open it and read it, and it is never used to train a model.
H2 · What belongs to us. The parts you did not write belong to us: the interface, the models that arrange a reply, the servers and the backups. That is the ordinary sense in which a tool belongs to the people who made it.
H2 · What was never available to own. This is the piece most arguments skip past. Your mother, your partner, your child: a person is not an asset with a title attached, and nothing built from your writing changes that.
H2 · Three questions that settle most disputes. | Question | Our answer |
|---|---|
| Who can read what I wrote? | You, and whoever you choose to share it with. Not our staff, and not an advertiser.
H2 · Where the line gets genuinely hard. Two cases have no tidy answer, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise. The first is family.
The part worth keeping: In practice, ownership comes down to what happens on an ordinary Tuesday. Full write-up is on the source blog.
