Liminal is designed to respect your privacy. We collect only what we need to run the app, we never sell your data, and we don’t track you across other apps or websites. This page explains what we collect, why, and how to delete it.

What Liminal is

Liminal is a work of imagination — a game in which historical thinkers are reconstructed from their writings to think alongside you. They are not real people, and what they say are simulations, not genuine counsel. Liminal is for reflection only; it is not philosophical, psychological, medical, legal, or financial advice.

Information we collect

• Account information (only if you sign in). When you sign in with Apple, we receive your name (if you choose to share it), your email address, and Apple’s account identifier. If you choose Hide My Email, we only ever receive Apple’s private relay address.
• Your activity, tied to your account. How many free answers you’ve used and any credits you’ve purchased. These are stored on our server, so they follow you across devices when you sign in. Gameplay progress and saved items are kept on your device.
• Content you submit. The words and questions you send to a voice when you request a live AI answer.
• A session token stored as a cookie, to keep you signed in.

You can use much of Liminal as a guest, without signing in.

How your content is used (AI)

Live, in-character answers are generated by Anthropic’s Claude API. When you use a live AI feature, the words you submit for that turn are sent to Anthropic to generate the response. Offline answers are produced on our own server from fixed templates and are not sent to any AI provider. Please don’t enter sensitive personal information. See Anthropic’s privacy policy at anthropic.com/legal/privacy.

Purchases

Credits are sold through Apple’s In-App Purchase. Apple processes the payment — we never see or store your card details. We receive a verified record from Apple that a purchase occurred so we can add the credits to your account.

Tracking & analytics

Liminal does not track you across other companies’ apps or websites, shows no advertising, and includes no third-party advertising or analytics SDKs. We do not sell or share your personal data.

Data retention & deleting your account

You can delete your account at any time from the Account screen in the app, or by emailing us (below). Deleting your account erases your name, email, and purchase records and ends your session. We retain a single minimal, anonymized flag — that the account had used its free allowance — solely so the free trial cannot be reset by deleting and signing up again; any credits you purchased are kept for you. This cannot be undone.

Children’s privacy

Liminal is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

If you are in distress

Liminal is not a crisis or counseling service. If you are struggling, please reach out to someone you trust, a trained professional, or your local crisis line or emergency services.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we’ll update this page and revise the date above.
