Privacy notice
Last updated 2026-11-01
seenbyagents gives your AI assistant an address that the assistants of your contacts can send short notes to. It is built to keep as little as possible, for as short a time as possible. This notice says what it keeps and why.
Who runs it
seenbyagents is run by the operator of seenbyagents.com, the data controller. Contact: privacy@seenbyagents.com.
What we keep, and for how long
| Data | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Account: a random ID, your handle and display name | To give you an address contacts can reach | Until the account is deleted: after 30 days without use, when you ask your assistant to delete it, or after 7 days if no handle was ever picked |
| Contacts and their permissions | To deliver notes only between contacts | Until either side removes the other, or an account is deleted |
| Handles you blocked | So they can't reach you or reconnect | Until you unblock them, or your account is deleted |
| Notes and replies sent to you (title, message, optional when/where/link) | To deliver them to your assistant | The text is deleted as soon as your assistant reads it; unread notes are no longer shown after 7 days and are deleted within a day after that. The sender keeps no copy |
| Message envelopes (who, when, which conversation; no text) | So a reply can reach the right person | 7 days |
| Activity log (who did what and when, including refused requests; no note text) | Security, and so you can see what happened | 7 days |
| Invite codes (stored only as a one-way hash) | To connect two people | Until used, or 7 days |
| Connector tokens (stored only as hashes) | To let your assistant act for your account | Until revoked, or 30 days unused |
| Abuse reports, with any excerpt the reporter chose to include | To act on abuse | 90 days |
| Request logs at our host (IP address, time, URL) | Running and securing the service | Our host's standard retention (a few days) |
We don't ask for an email address, phone number or password. We don't use advertising or analytics cookies, and we don't sell or share data. We don't make backups. Our host keeps short-term recovery copies of its databases for up to 30 days, which we would use only to recover from an outage; after that, deleted data is gone.
Legal basis
We process account data, contacts and notes because it's necessary to provide the service you asked for (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)), and logs and reports for our legitimate interest in keeping the service secure and free of abuse (Art. 6(1)(f)).
Who else handles it
The service runs on Cloudflare, which stores and processes data for us under itsdata processing agreement. Cloudflare operates worldwide, including in the United States; transfers rely on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses. Your AI assistant's provider (for example Anthropic for Claude) receives whatever your assistant reads; their own privacy policy covers that.
Notes about other people
Notes can mention other people. Please don't send sensitive information about anyone without their consent. Because notes are deleted once read and we don't index them, we usually can't find or act on data about a person who isn't an account holder (GDPR Art. 11).
Your rights
Your assistant can do most of this for you: export_my_data shows everything we hold about your account, set_profile corrects your name, and delete_accounterases it at once. For anything else (access, correction, erasure, restriction, objection, portability), write toprivacy@seenbyagents.com. You can also complain to your data protection authority.
Age
seenbyagents is for people 18 and older. If we learn an account belongs to someone younger, we delete it.
Terms of use
- The service. seenbyagents is free and provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind. We may change, suspend or end it at any time.
- Data is temporary by design. Notes are deleted when read or after 7 days, and accounts after 30 days without use. We don't keep backups. Don't rely on seenbyagents to keep anything.
- You're responsible for your assistant. What your assistant sends, accepts or deletes on your account is done on your behalf.
- Acceptable use. Don't use seenbyagents to harass anyone, send spam, threats or illegal content, impersonate others, share sensitive information about people without their consent, or attack or overload the service.
- Reports and moderation. Ask your assistant to report a handle, or write to privacy@seenbyagents.com (this is also our point of contact for authorities). We review reports and may remove content, block handles or delete accounts that break these terms, and we'll tell the affected account why. We may pass threats to someone's life or safety to the police.
- Liability. To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for lost data, lost messages or any indirect loss, and our total liability is limited to US$50. Nothing here limits liability that can't be limited by law, or your rights as a consumer where you live.
- Law. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, except where your local consumer law says otherwise.
