Short version: Mentbot is not a marketplace for personal data. You do not trade profiles with other users. The developer does not harvest dossiers about you. Mentoring works on the words you type into a session — and that is largely where the story ends.
What this app actually needs
Mentbot is built around one idea: a private conversation that helps you take one step toward a goal. To make that conversation possible, the app may keep a few practical pieces of information — your goal, why it matters to you, how much time you can spare each day, and the messages you write during check-ins. Those details exist so the mentor can stay relevant. They are not collected for advertising profiles or for selling lists of names.
Users do not exchange personal data with each other. There is no social feed of private profiles. Sharing a completed chapter is optional and intentional — it is not automatic exposure of your inbox.
What we do not chase
The developer does not set out to gather personal information such as government IDs, payment card numbers inside the mentoring chat, or a catalog of your contacts. If something is not required to run the mentoring loop, Mentbot has no reason to ask for it. The outer limit of “tracking identity,” when it appears at all, is typically a unique technical identifier used for analytics attribution and push delivery — not a biography of who you are offline.
AI replies and the text you send
Mentbot uses OpenAI as a third-party service to generate mentoring responses and related text (including weekly chapter narratives). When the app asks the model for help, it sends the text of the message you typed (and the conversation context needed to answer usefully). It does not package your phone number, email address, or other personal account details as part of that generation request. In plain language: the model receives the words of the session, not a dossier.
Because OpenAI is an independent provider, its own terms and privacy practices also apply to how those requests are processed on their infrastructure. Mentbot’s role is limited to using that service to produce guidance from the content you choose to write.
Other third-party services
Mentbot relies on a small set of specialized partners. Each is a third-party service with its own rules. Mentbot uses them for operations, not for inventing a secret profile of you:
- Firebase — backend infrastructure (for example storage, authentication-related plumbing, or app configuration). Treat it as the scaffolding that keeps your session data available across devices when the product needs that scaffolding.
- Singular — measurement and attribution. It may process limited technical signals and identifiers so installs and campaigns can be understood. It is not a place where you submit your life story.
- OneSignal — push notifications. Delivery depends on device tokens and similar technical IDs so Mentbot can remind you about a check-in. You control notification permissions on your device.
- OpenAI — text generation for mentoring replies and chapter writing, as described above. Input is the conversational text you provide, not a handoff of unrelated personal records.
Identifiers, pushes, and the thin edge of tracking
Where analytics or notifications require it, Mentbot may work with a unique ID — something closer to a ticket number than a name tag. That ID can help attribute an install, keep push delivery reliable, or distinguish one installation from another. It is not an invitation to assemble sensitive personal archives. If you revoke notification permission, push-related processing for that channel stops at the device gate.
Children
Mentbot is intended for adults who can responsibly set goals and reflect on them. It is not designed for children, and we do not knowingly solicit personal information from minors.
Changes to this note
If the way Mentbot handles information meaningfully shifts — new partners, new purposes — this page will be updated and the date at the top will move with it. Continuing to use the app after an update means you have had a chance to read the revised trail map.
