Working product draft

AI & Privacy

Effective date: To be confirmed on release · Version: Draft 0.1

A plain-language summary of how Firefly Realm uses AI, what is sent, what is not, and what to do if you change your mind.

This document is a working product draft. It has not yet received professional UK legal or privacy review. Items shown in square brackets, for example [DATA CONTROLLER NAME REQUIRED], are placeholders the operator must complete before commercial release.

What happens when you submit a Reflection

  • Your reflection text is saved to your account first, so it is never lost if the AI call fails.
  • An automated privacy filter then removes or generalises obvious identifiers such as email addresses, phone numbers, postcodes, vehicle plates, long digit sequences, web links and social handles.
  • The filtered text is sent to OpenAI, which returns a structured Perspective written for you.
  • Firefly Realm's server calculates any XP and validates the suggested achievement. XP numbers are decided server-side and are independent of anything the model says.

What is sent to the AI provider

  • The filtered text of this reflection.
  • The optional energy level you chose.
  • The system prompt that asks the model to write a calm, grounded Perspective.

What is not sent

  • Your email address, password or account identifier.
  • Your previous reflections or Perspectives.
  • Your achievements, XP totals or quota counters.
  • Any payment information.

Release entries are not sent to AI

Quick Journal and The Unsent Page pages are private. Opening, saving, editing, listing or deleting a Release entry never calls an AI provider. Feeling tags and intensity values are never sent externally. If you choose Turn into a Reflection draft, the text is held only in your browser (short-lived, scoped to your account) and is sent only after you review it and press Generate Perspective in the normal Reflection form. Help me untangle this is not implemented yet and cannot process your writing.

Limits of the privacy filter

Filtering is rules-based and imperfect. It cannot reliably detect all names, locations, employers or unusual identifiers, and it cannot redact context that only you would recognise. Please avoid entering anything you would not want externally processed.

AI output may be inaccurate

Perspectives are AI-generated suggestions, not statements of fact about you. They may misinterpret what you wrote or notice things that are not there. You remain the authority on your own experience. Firefly Realm is not therapy or crisis support.

Deleting an entry

You can delete individual reflections from your account at any time. Deleting a reflection also removes its Perspective, XP events and any achievement awarded for it. You can request full account deletion from the Profile screen.

Withdrawing consent

You can stop using the AI feature at any time by simply not generating new Perspectives. Future versions will allow saving reflections without generating a Perspective at all.
