About Soulflake

Your data, plainly

What Soulflake keeps, where it lives, who can see it, and how to take it or delete it. Each part has its own link, so a question can be answered with one.

The short version

  • No ads, no tracking cookies, and your data is never sold or shared with advertisers.
  • Your saved data is locked to you: the database itself only lets each person read and change their own.
  • You choose what each connection sees, and you can change it or disconnect any time.
  • Your mood diary stays in your browser. The AI only reads it if you press a button asking it to.
  • You can download everything, or delete your account and everything in it yourself, in Account settings.

Where it lives

In your browser. Your answers and your Soulflake are kept in your browser’s own storage, so the site works without an account. Signing out removes them from that browser.

In your account, if you sign in. A copy is saved to your account so it follows you to other devices. It’s stored with Supabase, a widely used database service, and travels over an encrypted connection (HTTPS). The stored data is encrypted on their servers too.

Locked to you. Every table that holds your data has access rules built into the database itself (Supabase calls this row-level security): when you’re signed in, you can read and change your own rows and nobody else’s. Another member can’t see your saved Soulflake, your messages or your notifications, even if they try.

What’s kept. Every answer you give, with the time: your Personality reading, mood, well-being, stress and life satisfaction check-ins, your hobbies and the pastimes and group role tests, taste and favorites, strengths, values (including moral and political leanings), motivation, habits, your story, your timeline memories and anything you write in your own words. Also the name you choose, your email, and your photo if you add one. Well-being, values and your story can be very personal, so on the site they’re only ever shown to you.

Only in your browser: your mood diary. It’s never saved to your account; it only goes anywhere if you ask the AI to read it (see AI features).

Who can see what

You see everything.

Your connections see only the facets you switch on for them, as short summaries (like your trait percentiles, today’s mood, the favorites on your shelf, your number one in each kind and where you sit from familiar to new, or, with Values switched on (it’s off unless you turn it on), your top values, moral compass, where you stand on the political compass, and your spiritual, world, self-and-others and money compasses; or, with Relationships switched on, your attachment style, love languages, conflict, communication and humor style and what helps you when things are hard, and where you sit on the closeness map and the communication and boundaries scales; or, with Capabilities, your top strengths, how strongly you lean toward each of the six virtues, your role in a group, the pastimes you’re drawn to, the hobbies on your shelf and your work interests), never your individual answers or anything you’ve written. They also see your name, email and photo so they know it’s you, your score in “How well do you know me?”, and your picks in “Who’s more likely to…?” (whether you chose yourself or them, for each prompt) and “This or That”, so you can both see where you agree. From the newer games they see how many lies you spotted about them in “Two truths and a lie”, your “Read me” score, and the word you picked for them in “A word for them”. Words are shown to them without names and only once two or more people have picked, but the word rides on your share card, so it isn’t a secret in the strictest sense. If you made a guess of your own traits before your first reading, that guess goes along with your trait percentiles, for your friends’ “Read me”. Values, well-being and your story start switched off. You can switch any facet off or disconnect at any time, and it takes effect right away. When you finish a test in a facet you share, your connections get a notification with its name (never your result), and when you play a game about someone, they’re told which game. When you add a favorite one of your connections also loves, they’re told its title. Mood check-ins stay quiet. You can turn these off in notification settings. Someone who asks to connect sees only your name until you say yes; a request shows you their name, any note they add, how they found you, your mutual connections and how long they’ve been on Soulflake. You can decline (they can’t ask again for 30 days) or block them. If you edit a message, the other person sees it marked Edited. When someone asks to connect, you also get an email saying who it is, their note and how they found you (at most five a day; switch it off in Settings). Voice typing in chat uses your browser’s own speech recognition, which may send your voice to your browser’s maker (Apple or Google) to turn it into words; Soulflake never hears or keeps it. It works both ways: you see a connection’s facet only when you’ve taken it and share yours too, so switching one off also hides theirs from you. Voice sessions (beta): your voice goes to ElevenLabs, the voice service that runs the conversation, and the guide is given a summary of your Soulflake and your notes from earlier sessions. Afterward a short note is written and kept in your Soulflake, synced with your account; you can delete any note, or all of them, on the Sessions page. Soulflake doesn’t keep the recording. If you make a Soulflake card, its QR code and chip hold a link that shows your friend code to whoever taps or scans it, so they can ask to connect; it never shows anything else. Your sharing switches are saved with your account, so they’re the same on every device you sign in on.

Friends who answer about you through a link you send don’t need an account. You only ever see their answers combined, once at least two people have answered, never who said what. Their page shows your first name and your Soulflake’s shape, never your answers. You can close a link or delete their answers any time.

Other members who aren’t connected to you see nothing about you.

What the creator can see

Honesty matters more here than a nice-sounding promise. Soulflake is run by one person, the creator, who also runs the database.

  • The creator’s dashboard shows each member’s name and email, when they joined, how many answers they’ve given, how many facets they’ve explored and how many connections they have, plus anonymous visit counts and any feedback you send.
  • As the owner of the database, the creator could technically open anything stored there, as with almost any website. That includes messages, which aren’t end-to-end encrypted. They’re not read, and the creator will never share or sell them.
  • Your mood diary isn’t in the database at all, so nobody but you can read it.

Messages

Messages go only between connections. They’re stored in the database, locked so that only the two people in a conversation can read them. They aren’t end-to-end encrypted (see what the creator can see). Disconnecting stops new messages; deleting your account deletes your messages.

Shared memories

When you share a memory with a connection, its title, year and your few words are stored in the database, where only the two of you can read it. It goes on their timeline only if they choose to add it; they can keep it without adding it, or say no thanks (you’re not told which they chose if they say no). While it’s still waiting you can take it back. A memory you add to your own timeline lives with the rest of your timeline. Deleting your account deletes the memories you shared and the ones shared with you.

Heirlooms

An Heirloom is the one thing on Soulflake that’s locked end to end. Everything inside (your letter, your Soulflake, the moments and insights you chose, your photos) is scrambled in your browser before it leaves, with a key that lives only in the link you send. The part of a link after the # never reaches a server, so Soulflake stores only the scrambled box, and nobody here, the creator included, can read it. What Soulflake does see: who it’s for and from (the names you typed), how and when it opens, and how many photos it holds. It hands over the scrambled box only once the Heirloom opens. Your links are kept only in the browser you made them in, so keep a copy: they can’t be recovered. Taking one back deletes it for good; deleting your account deletes all of yours.

AI features

A few features use an AI from Anthropic. Only signed-in members can use them, and only when they ask.

  • Taste recommendations send your favorites (with any notes), a short summary of your taste, your six trait percentiles and your work-interests code.
  • Your diary, only when you press a button: Suggest a mood sends the one entry you’re writing; Recap my week sends the last seven days of entries. The reply comes straight back to your browser and nothing is kept on our server.
  • The Oracle sends what you write in the session (what’s on your mind and your answers) and a summary of your results. The session is kept only in your browser, where you can delete it.
  • Your Full reading, once a month when you ask for it, sends your first name, the year you were born, your trait percentiles and the parts of them that stand out, how friends see you, your strengths, work interests, values and each test’s result in a few words, what you love in your taste tests, your favorites shelf, your last two weeks of moods, the titles of the memories on your Story timeline, and the dates you finished your readings. Never your other written answers, messages or diary. The reading comes back to your browser and is saved with your account so it’s on every device; you can delete it.
  • Your chemistry reading, on a connection’s report when you ask for it, sends your shared results and that connection’s (what they already share with you: trait percentiles, relationship styles, values, motivation, strengths, work interests and follow-through) and their first name. Never anyone’s answers or messages. The reading is kept only in your browser.
  • Flake News (in private testing for now) sends your first name, a summary of your results (trait percentiles, top strengths, taste, values and motivation in a few words), a few of your favorites, and counts like how many memories or connections you have. Never your individual answers, your moods or anything you’ve written.

Anthropic’s terms for this kind of use say the data isn’t used to train their AI. Your email is never sent. Never sent to any AI: your messages, your written answers (apart from your memory titles, for your reading), your diary unless you press one of those buttons, and your daily Soulscope, which is chosen from a hand-written bank right in your browser.

Voice typing in the diary and the Oracle, and answering questions aloud (Speak), use your browser’s own speech service (Google in Chrome and Edge, Apple in Safari) to turn your words into text. Soulflake never receives the audio. When the Oracle speaks to you, it uses voices built into your browser or device.

Anonymous research

To see how the site is doing, each page you open is counted with a random ID made in your browser: the page, the site that linked you here, campaign tags in the link, phone or computer, and roughly where you are (country and region, never your city). Our host works out that rough location; Soulflake never stores your IP address. When you finish a Personality reading, your six trait scores (just the six numbers, not your answers) join an anonymous research pool with the same random ID, to see how personalities group together. The creator only ever sees totals and patterns, and groups smaller than five people are never shown. No name, email or IP address is stored with any of it, and no cookies are used.

You can switch this off in Account settings, under Anonymous research. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, nothing is counted at all.

The services involved

  • Supabase stores accounts and saved data.
  • Vercel hosts the site.
  • Cloudflare Turnstile checks that sign-ups and sign-ins come from a person, not a bot.
  • Resend sends account emails, like confirming your address.
  • Anthropic powers the AI features, only when you use them.
  • Google, only if you sign in with Google: Soulflake gets your name, email and profile picture, never your password.
  • Wikipedia, Open Library and Apple’s iTunes search answer when you search for a favorite; only what you type goes to them.
  • Google Fonts and public radio stations load fonts and music.

Like any website, these services see your IP address when your browser loads something from them.

Download or delete

In Account settings → Your data:
