Privacy.
Plain English: we collect the minimum we need to draft good posts for you, store it securely, never sell it, and let you erase it.
What we collect
- X profile and posts. When you connect X via OAuth, we read your handle, follower counts, recent tweets, and analytics on tweets we post. The tweets are used to build your voice profile.
- Account info. Phone number (for the iMessage layer), email (optional), name, timezone.
- Payment info. Subscription state. Card details are handled by Stripe — we never see or store them.
- Conversations. Drafts, edits, feedback, and chat messages between you and Penwell. We use these to train your voice profile and improve the product.
- Usage analytics.Anonymous pageviews and events via PostHog so we can see what works and what doesn't.
How we use it
- Drafting posts and replies in your voice.
- Coaching you on cadence, pillars, and quality.
- Billing and account operations.
- Improving the product (in aggregate; never sold).
How we store it
Data is hosted on Supabase (eu-west-1). X OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. Application traffic uses TLS in transit.
Who else sees it (sub-processors)
We use a small number of trusted services. They see only what they need to function:
- Anthropic — generates drafts. Sees the prompts and context we send, including your voice profile.
- X (Twitter) — receives posts we publish on your behalf.
- Supabase — primary database and auth.
- Vercel — application hosting.
- PostHog — product analytics.
Coming soon (we'll update this list before they go live): Stripe for payments, Sendblue/Twilio for iMessage and SMS.
We do not sell your data.
Your controls
- Disconnect X from the integrations page at any time. We delete the OAuth tokens immediately.
- Delete your account from settings. Your row, drafts, and voice profile are deleted within 30 days.
- Export your data— email us and we'll send a JSON dump within 7 days.
- EU/UK rights.If you're in the EU or UK, you have rights of access, rectification, erasure, and portability under GDPR. Email us to use them.
Cookies
We use a session cookie for your dashboard and a small analytics cookie via PostHog for pageview attribution. No third-party advertising trackers.
