AnchorPath Privacy & Confidentiality Policy
Effective July 25, 2026

AnchorPath (operated by Lab256 LLC) is a recovery-support platform. Because recovery information is deeply sensitive, we treat it with more care than ordinary app data. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the rights you have.

1. Information you give us
• Account details: your handle, email, and — kept private and never shown publicly — your legal name and date of birth (used only to confirm you are 18+ and, where applicable, to connect you to your treatment organization).
• Recovery content you choose to create: check-ins, journal entries, posts, comments, messages, and your sobriety date.
• Emergency contacts you add to your support circle.

2. How we use it
• To run the app: your feed, communities, messages, milestones, and reminders.
• To support you: the AI companion and optional proactive check-ins.
• To keep you safe: crisis detection that surfaces the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

3. Third-party AI processing
Some features — the AI companion, and, for treatment organizations, staff message drafting — send the text of your relevant messages to a third-party AI provider to generate a response. This processing happens only for features you use, and only for content relevant to that feature. We do not sell your data. You can turn off the companion's memory of your check-ins at any time in Settings. During this beta, using the AI features means you consent to this processing; you can avoid it by not using those features.

4. 42 CFR Part 2 (federal confidentiality of substance-use records)
• Your legal name and date of birth are never shown to other users.
• Being a member of a private, organization-owned community (e.g. a treatment center's alumni network) is never revealed to non-members.
• A treatment organization can see your individual milestones ONLY if you explicitly turn on sharing for that organization in Settings — and you can turn it off at any time.
• Off-app notifications (email/SMS) are deliberately generic and never reveal that you are in a recovery program.

5. Your choices and rights
• Private profile, hide-your-days-sober, and per-organization sharing toggles in Settings.
• Delete your account at any time from Settings → Account → Delete account. Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. Your private recovery data — journal, check-ins, sobriety history, SOS records and AI conversations — is erased, and your name, email, date of birth and photo are removed. Messages, posts and comments you sent to others remain in their conversations, shown as “Deleted user”, so the people you talked with keep their own history.
• Contact us at privacy@anchorpath.io with any question or request.

6. Not medical care
AnchorPath is a peer-support and wellness tool, not a medical or clinical service, and the AI companion is not a clinician. In an emergency call 911; in a crisis call or text 988.

7. Changes
We'll update this policy as the product grows and will note the effective date above.
