Privacy Policy.

Last updated: June 7, 2026

Rooted is built on a simple premise: the more honestly you show up, the more useful the output. We hold your data to the same standard. This policy explains what we collect, why, and what you can do about it.

The short version

We collect your name, email, assessment answers, and , if you opt in , your WhatsApp number and chat history with our AI companion. We use these to run the product and improve it. We don't sell your data. We don't run ads.

What we collect

When you use Rooted, we collect:

Identity

Your name and email address, provided when you sign in via Clerk.

Assessment answers

Your 18 assessment responses. Used solely to generate your identity profile. Not shared or sold.

WhatsApp number

Optionally provided during onboarding. Used solely to send your daily task and EoD check-in via WhatsApp. Never used for marketing. You can skip this entirely.

AI chat history

Your conversations with the Rooted AI companion are stored in our database so the chat persists across sessions. You can clear your chat history at any time from the chat page.

Subscription and payment data

If you subscribe, Razorpay processes your payment. We store your subscription status and period dates , not your card details. Card data never touches our servers.

Usage data

Anonymous behavioural events tracked via Posthog. No personal identifiers attached.

Device and log data

Standard server logs: IP, browser, pages, timestamps. Retained up to 24 months.

How we use it

We use your data to:

  • Generate your identity profile using the Anthropic API
  • Authenticate your account via Clerk
  • Send you daily tasks and check-ins via WhatsApp (if you provided your number and have an active trial or subscription)
  • Improve the product using anonymised survey responses and usage patterns
  • Send lifecycle emails (trial reminders, re-engagement) via Resend , you can unsubscribe from these in your account settings at any time
  • Maintain security and prevent abuse

We do not use your assessment answers to train AI models. We do not run advertisements. We do not sell your data.
