Your words are used to answer your decision. Nothing else.

What is collected

• · What you write about your decision, and your answers to follow-up questions.
• · The private responses of people you invite, if any.
• · If you sign in: your email address and profile name from your identity provider (e.g. Google).
• · Minimal, non-identifying usage events to understand what breaks — for example, "a decision reached the result page." Never the contents.

How it's used

Only to run your decision — to understand what you're asking, generate follow-ups, and produce a recommendation with reasoning. Your words are not used to train Othen's models or any third-party model.

Who else sees what

No one else, unless you share it. People you invite see your decision statement and the one question written for them. If you create a share link for a recommendation, anyone with that link can view the recommendation and reasoning — not your original words.

Third parties Othen relies on

• · Authentication and database. Powers sign-in and stores decisions securely.
• · AI model providers. Othen sends the parts of your decision needed to generate the response. These providers process the text under agreements that prohibit training on it.
• · Hosting. A serverless edge platform serves the site.

Retention and deletion

Signed-in decisions live in your account until you delete them. Anonymous decisions live in your browser via a private key and can be deleted from the archive page. Deleting a decision removes its content and its participant responses.
