Privacy Policy
1. Overview
Wisdom Recall is a cross-AI memory layer. Our service lets you capture knowledge objects, called PearlsTM, in a single vault and recall them across the AI assistants you already use, including ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Perplexity, and other clients that support the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This Privacy Policy describes what information we collect when you use Wisdom Recall, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices and rights you have.
2. Scope of this Policy
This Policy applies to the Wisdom Recall website at wisdomrecall.com, the web application at app.wisdomrecall.com, our MCP servers, and any related services we operate (together, the "Service"). It does not apply to third-party services you choose to connect, including AI assistants and the providers behind them. Those services are governed by their own privacy policies.
3. Information We Collect
We collect information in the following categories.
3.1 Account information
- Your email address.
- A hashed and salted form of your password if you sign up with email and password. We never store passwords in plain text.
- Profile fields you choose to provide, such as display name.
3.2 Subscription and billing data
Payments are processed by Stripe. Stripe collects and stores your payment instrument and billing details directly; Wisdom Recall does not see or store your full card number. We receive metadata from Stripe such as subscription plan, status, renewal date, last four digits of the card, country, and tax-related fields needed to issue invoices.
3.3 Content you create
- PearlsTM: the text content of each knowledge object you save.
- Tags, strands, and other organization metadata you attach to your Pearls.
- Files you upload (for example, PDFs or documents) and any text extracted from them.
- Comments, share settings, and audit history associated with a Pearl.
3.4 MCP connection tokens
To connect Wisdom Recall to AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, and Perplexity, we issue and store MCP connection tokens scoped to your account. These tokens authenticate requests from your AI assistant to our servers. They are stored encrypted, never displayed to anyone other than you, and can be revoked from your dashboard at any time.
3.5 Usage and operational data
- Server-side records of MCP requests from your connected AI, including which tool was called (for example, saving, searching, or retrieving a Pearl), whether it succeeded, and how long it took.
- Usage and cost records for AI operations, such as token counts and estimated cost, used for billing and capacity planning.
- Security events, such as failed sign-in attempts and rate-limit triggers, recorded with IP address, approximate location, and user agent.
Product analytics and session replay (PostHog, EU-hosted). We use PostHog (eu.i.posthog.com) for product analytics and session replay so we can understand which features are used, where people get stuck, and why flows break. This includes autocapture (clicks, form interactions, page views, element metadata such as tag, selector, and page URL, never the free-text values you type) and session replay (a reconstruction of the page as you interact with it: DOM changes, mouse movement, keystroke timing). We do not record the values of any input, textarea, or select field; we do not record any element tagged .ph-no-capture or [data-ph-no-capture], which covers the Pearl editor, AI chat surfaces, tag input, and the share dialog; we do not record the content of your Pearls, notes, or AI conversations; and we do not perform browser fingerprinting or cross-site tracking. Session replays are retained for 90 days and then automatically deleted. PostHog records the visitor's IP address and derives an approximate location (country, region, city) to provide engagement context for shared content; IP anonymization at the SDK boundary is enabled. The SDK stores an anonymous identifier in localStorage and a first-party cookie so we can stitch a visit across pages. Lawful basis: GDPR Article 6(1)(f) legitimate interests for B2B engagement and product-improvement work on shared pearls, partner outreach, investor materials, and dashboard usability. Data is stored in the EU. You can opt out by enabling Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control in your browser (the SDK will not initialize), by blocking eu.i.posthog.com, by clearing site data, or by writing to privacy@wisdomrecall.com.
Error monitoring (Sentry). We use Sentry to capture browser errors so we can fix bugs. Sentry receives the error stack trace, the page path, and a per-error session replay snippet (recorded only when an error fires, not in the background). We do not send Pearl content to Sentry.
We do not use Google Analytics, Plausible, Meta Pixel, or any advertising or cross-site tracker.
3.6 Device and log data
- IP address.
- Browser type, version, and user agent string.
- Operating system and device characteristics.
- Timestamps of requests and approximate location (country, region, city) derived from IP.
Retention and purpose of IP and related fields. For authenticated users, IP and related fields are linked to the user account and are deleted together with the account (see section 9 "Data Retention and Deletion"). For anonymous visitors, the fields persist on the event row indefinitely, pending a future retention sweep. Purpose: to understand whether content we share with partners, users, and investors is being viewed, and to provide engagement context for outreach and follow-up. Lawful basis: GDPR Article 6(1)(f) legitimate interests. You can opt out or request deletion of your data by writing to privacy@wisdomrecall.com (see section 10 "Your Rights").
3.7 Cookies and similar technologies
We use a small number of cookies and similar storage. Essential cookies keep you signed in and protect against fraud. Functional cookies remember preferences such as theme. Our product analytics tool (PostHog, section 3.5) sets a first-party cookie and writes to localStorage to maintain an anonymous identifier across pages within our own domains; it is not shared with other sites and is not used for advertising. We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site trackers. See section 12 for details.
3.8 AI conversation logging (optional)
Wisdom Recall offers an optional feature, available through our browser extension, that logs the exchanges between your connected AI assistant and Wisdom Recall so that you can review and reuse them. This feature is off by default and only operates if you choose to enable it. When enabled, a log may include the content of the conversation, the Pearls involved, and the AI model used, stored in our database and tied to your account. You can disable the feature at any time, and these logs are subject to the retention and deletion terms in section 9.
3.9 Browser extension capture metadata
When you use the Wisdom Recall browser extension to save a Pearl, we record the URL and page title of the page where the capture occurred and store them on the Pearl record. We do not record any information about other pages you visit, your browsing history, or pages you do not actively capture from.
4. How We Use Your Data
- To provide, operate, and maintain the Service.
- To authenticate you and secure your account.
- To process your content into Pearls and to make them retrievable through your connected AI assistants.
- To process payments, manage subscriptions, and issue invoices and receipts.
- To send transactional messages (account, billing, security, and service notifications).
- To improve the Service, including debugging, performance, and reliability work.
- To detect, prevent, and respond to abuse, fraud, and security incidents.
- To comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms.
We do not sell your personal data. We do not use your Pearl content to train foundation models.
5. Legal Bases for Processing (EU and UK Users)
If you are in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we process your personal data under one or more of the following legal bases:
- Performance of a contract, to provide the Service you have signed up for.
- Legitimate interests, such as securing the Service, preventing abuse, and improving features. We balance these interests against your rights.
- Consent, where we rely on it, for any optional processing that requires it.
- Legal obligation, where applicable law requires us to retain or disclose data.
6. How We Share Information
We share information only as described in this Policy.
- Sub-processors. We share data with operational vendors that help us run the Service. They act on our instructions and are bound by data protection terms.
- Legal disclosures. We may disclose information when required by law, valid legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Wisdom Recall, our users, or the public.
- Business transfers. If Wisdom Recall is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your data may be transferred, subject to this Policy.
- With your direction. When you choose to share a Pearl, connect an AI assistant, or otherwise direct data to a third party.
We do not sell personal data, and we do not share personal data for cross-context behavioral advertising. We may publish or share aggregated, de-identified data that cannot reasonably be used to identify you.
7. Sub-processors
- Supabase: managed PostgreSQL database, authentication, object storage, and our server-side logs.
- Cloudflare: edge network, CDN, DDoS protection, Web Application Firewall, and MCP Workers runtime.
- Stripe: subscription billing and payment processing.
- Google (Gemini API): AI processing for features we run on your behalf, including generating Pearl metadata, embeddings, improving search queries, and extracting text from uploaded documents that do not have a usable text layer. When you upload a scanned PDF, an image (PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF), or a legacy .doc file, the raw file bytes are sent to Google's Gemini API so it can transcribe the visible content. Text-layer PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, CSV, HTML, TXT, MD, and JSON files are parsed on our own servers and are not sent to Google for extraction.
- Resend: transactional email delivery.
- PostHog (EU-hosted, eu.i.posthog.com): product analytics and session replay. Receives the events, autocapture payloads, and replay recordings described in section 3.5, tied to an anonymous identifier kept in
localStorageand a first-party cookie. PostHog stores the visitor's IP address and derives approximate geographic location (country, region, city) using MaxMind GeoLite2 to provide engagement context for shared content. Session replays are retained for 90 days and then auto-purged. Sensitive form fields and elements marked.ph-no-captureor[data-ph-no-capture]are redacted before transmission. Data is stored in the EU. - Sentry: browser error monitoring. Receives error stack traces, the page path where the error occurred, and a per-error replay snippet (recorded only when an error fires, not in the background). Does not receive Pearl content.
Separately, when you connect a third-party AI assistant (such as ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, or Perplexity) to Wisdom Recall, you are directing your data to that provider. Those assistants are operated by their own companies under their own terms and privacy policies; they are not our sub-processors. See section 6 ("With your direction").
If we add or change a sub-processor in a way that materially affects this list, we will update this Policy.
8. International Data Transfers
Wisdom Recall is based in the United States. When we transfer personal data from the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland to the United States or other countries, we rely on appropriate safeguards, including the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, and the Swiss equivalent, as applicable. A copy is available on request to privacy@wisdomrecall.com.
9. Data Retention
We retain your account and Pearl content for as long as your account is active, so that the Service remains useful to you. When you delete a Pearl, strand, or your account, we remove the affected data from active systems within 30 days. Backups containing residual copies are aged out on a rolling schedule and are not used to restore deleted content except in the event of a recovery from data loss.
We retain limited records longer where required for legal, tax, accounting, fraud-prevention, or security purposes, including invoices, audit logs of sensitive actions, and abuse signals.

10.3 How to exercise your rights
Email privacy@wisdomrecall.com from the email address associated with your account. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law. You may also use the data export and account deletion tools in your Wisdom Recall dashboard.
11. Children's Privacy
The Service is not directed to children under 13 in the United States, or under 16 in the European Economic Area. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under those ages. If you believe we have collected such data, please contact privacy@wisdomrecall.com and we will delete it.
12. Cookies and Tracking
We use the following categories of cookies and similar technologies:
- Essential: required to sign you in, keep your session, and protect against abuse.
- Functional: remember preferences such as theme and language.
- Product analytics (first-party): PostHog stores an anonymous identifier in
localStorageand a first-party cookie so we can stitch a visit across our own pages. The identifier does not follow you to other sites and is cleared if you clear site data or opt out. See section 3.5 for the full posture, including masking and Do Not Track handling.
We do not use third-party advertising cookies. We honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as an opt-out request to the extent required by law. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings.
13. Security
We use defense-in-depth practices including encryption in transit and at rest, Row-Level Security on customer data, encrypted MCP tokens, audit logging of sensitive actions, and least-privilege staff access. For details, see our Security page.
14. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. When changes are material, we will notify you by email, in-app notice, or by a prominent notice on the Service before the changes take effect. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when this Policy was most recently revised.

16. Browser Extension
The Wisdom Recall browser extension is the capture surface for your vault. It is bound by this Privacy Policy in full. Specifically:
- What it sends to us: only the data described in sections 3.1, 3.3, 3.4, 3.8, and 3.9, that is, your authentication session, the Pearl content you choose to save, the source URL and title of the capture, and, if you have enabled it, AI conversation logs (off by default).
- What it does NOT do: it does not collect your browsing history, does not read pages in the background, does not record clicks or keystrokes, does not use any third-party analytics, and does not send your data to anyone other than Wisdom Recall and the sub-processors listed in section 7.
- Why it requests broad permissions: the extension declares
<all_urls>host access and a content script that runs on every page so that you can right-click any text on any site and save it. The content script only acts on your explicit interaction (right-click capture, or clicking the "Save as Pearl" pill on AI chat sites). - The
tabspermission is used only to deliver messages to the page you are actively viewing and to launch onboarding flows on ChatGPT and Claude. We do not enumerate your other tabs or read their URLs. - Local storage: the extension keeps a local cache of up to your 500 most recent Pearls in your browser (IndexedDB) for fast browsing inside the side panel. This cache is never transmitted anywhere and is cleared if you sign out or uninstall the extension.
- Account and Pearl deletion: deleting a Pearl in the extension or in your dashboard triggers the deletion behavior described in section 9. Uninstalling the extension does not delete your account or your Pearls; use the deletion controls at app.wisdomrecall.com for that.
- Agency and team plans: if your employer or organization has provisioned Wisdom Recall for your team, the extension saves Pearls into the team vault you are signed into. Wisdom Recall does not classify your captures as "work" or "personal" and does not separate them on your behalf. If you use the same AI account for both work and personal queries, anything you save will be saved into whichever Wisdom Recall account you are signed into at that moment. We recommend keeping separate AI assistant accounts for personal use if your employer has provisioned a team vault for you.
The extension is distributed through the Chrome Web Store. Information you provide to the Chrome Web Store itself (such as reviews) is governed by Google's privacy policy, not this one.
