privacy policy

Effective date: August 3, 2026 · Constella App, Inc.

This policy explains what Brody collects, why, and what happens to it. It is written plainly on purpose. Brody is operated by Constella App, Inc. ("Constella", "we", "us"). It applies to the Brody service, the usebrody.com website, and any related apps.

1. What Brody reads

Brody reads messages in conversations it has been added to, starting from the moment it joins. It does not read any other conversation on your phone, your contacts, your photos, or anything outside the chats it is in. Brody announces itself when it joins, and anyone in the chat can remove it at any time by saying "brody leave".

2. What we collect

To provide the service we collect and process: (a) message content and metadata (sender, timestamp) in chats Brody is in, used to generate replies, summaries, and memory; (b) your phone number, used to identify you and deliver messages; (c) subscription and billing information, handled by our payment processor — we never see or store full card numbers; (d) basic usage data such as summon counts and feature usage, used to run and improve the service.

3. How long we keep it

On the free plan, message content is retained for 7 days and then deleted. On Brody Pro, group memory (decisions, debts, and context Brody has stored) is retained for as long as the subscription is active, so Brody can make callbacks and answer "what did we decide". If Brody is removed from a chat, its memory of that chat is deleted within 30 days. If you cancel Pro, retention reverts to the 7-day window.

4. What we never do

We do not sell your data. We do not use your messages to advertise to you. Brody never quotes, reposts, or shares the contents of your chat anywhere outside that chat. We do not use your message content to train generalized AI models. Screenshots on the "things brody has said" wall are submitted voluntarily by users, not taken from chats by us.

5. Who we share data with

We share data only with service providers who help us run Brody: cloud hosting, AI model inference, message delivery, and payment processing. Each provider is bound by contract to use the data only to provide their service to us. We may disclose information if required by law, or to protect the safety of users where we believe there is a genuine risk of harm.

6. Your choices and rights

Anyone in a chat can remove Brody at any time, no questions asked. You can text Brody "delete my data" to request deletion of data associated with your number, or email us at the address below. Depending on where you live (including the EEA, UK, and California), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your data, and to object to certain processing. We honor these requests regardless of where you live.

7. Group chats involve other people

Whoever adds Brody to a chat is responsible for making sure the group is okay with it. Brody's join message tells everyone what it does and how to remove it. If you are in a chat with Brody and don't want to be, say "brody leave" or ask us to exclude your number entirely.

8. Children

Brody is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them. If we learn that a child under 13 is in a chat with Brody, we will remove Brody from the chat and delete associated data.

9. Security

Message content is encrypted in transit and at rest. Access to production data is restricted to a small number of employees who need it to operate the service, and is logged. No system is perfectly secure; if a breach affects your data, we will notify you as required by law.

10. Changes

If we make material changes to this policy, Brody will tell you — plainly, in the chat or by text — before they take effect. Continued use after that means you accept the changes.
