Our Beliefs

We created this technology to improve emotional connection and friendship across diverse communities of people, and aim to always prioritize and empower people traditionally ignored by big tech.

 
 

We Believe

  • In respecting the privacy and security of user voice and emotion data
  • In building technology as an extension of friendship and connection
  • Users should be choosers, and technology should take in the minimum necessary information to deliver value to users without mass data collection
  • In supporting diverse human communication with diverse and representative datasets of humans

We Practice

  • On-device processing for Vibes for Apple Watch, so your vocal data and emotional classifications will never be accessed by us or a third party
  • Data in transit as a standard for cloud APIs with secure optional data storage
  • No monetization of any data collected about users
  • Allowing users to opt in to features that require sensitive data like processed audio to leave your device
