Promise Diner

How we handle your story

Your story is read once, then thrown away. Nothing you write is saved.

• When you place a promise, your words are sent to Claude, an AI made by Anthropic, which reads the story and writes your results. Anthropic handles that text under its own privacy policy.
• We don't keep your story, your results, or any file you attach. We don't use accounts, and we don't ask for your name or email.
• Please leave out names, towns, workplaces, and anything else that could identify a real person. The diner will ask you to change them if it spots any.
• To keep the diner fair and affordable, each visitor can place 5 promises an hour. To count them, we keep a scrambled stand-in for your internet address for one hour, then it's deleted. It can't be turned back into your address.
• A quick "are you human?" check from Cloudflare keeps robots out. Cloudflare handles that check under its own privacy policy.
• The thumbs up or down after your results is not saved.
• We don't use advertising or tracking cookies.

If we ever start keeping anonymous research tallies (which laws held or gave way, never your words), we'll say so here first.

House rules

• For learning only. Promise Diner shows how a promise was set up, based only on what you write. It can't know what really happened.
• No advice. Nothing here is legal, financial, medical, or personal advice. For a real decision or dispute, talk with someone qualified.
• No verdicts. The diner never decides who was right or wrong.
• Adults only. Promise Diner is for people 18 and over.
• As is. The diner is free and offered as is, without any promise that it's always available or always accurate.
• Be kind. Don't use the diner to write about real people in ways that could identify or harm them.
• Where it's open. For now, Promise Diner isn't available in the European Union, the UK, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, or Switzerland.
