Privacy & Data

Do you sell my data?

Are my chats private?

Yes, all your chats are completely private to your account. No one else can see them.

Do AI providers train on my conversations?

No, we specifically use AI providers that do not train on user inputs. If you bring your own OpenRouter key, you must enable "Disable training on models" and "Do not log my data" in your OpenRouter account settings.

What happens when I delete a chat?

When you delete a chat, it's permanently removed from our systems and cannot be recovered.

• • Account information (email, profile)
• • Your creations (characters, scenarios, personas)
• • Chat history (private to you)
• • Preferences and settings
• • Non-sensitive usage logs for abuse prevention and quotas

Safety & Content

Is WarmLoop a replacement for therapy?

No, WarmLoop is not a replacement for professional mental health care. AI cannot replace licensed therapists or human connection. Always seek professional help when needed.

What if I'm in crisis?

If you're in crisis, contact professional help immediately:

• • National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 988 or 1-800-273-8255
• • Crisis Text Line: Text HOME to 741741
• • Emergency Services: 911

Is content moderated?

We use AI moderation to prevent sexual content. We do not censor adult topics related to healing, as discussing serious matters is necessary for healing them.

Can AI responses be harmful?

Yes, AI outputs can sometimes be triggering, offensive, or harmful due to their non-deterministic nature. User discretion is advised. If content upsets you, take a break and seek support.

Why is WarmLoop 18+?

Adult healing topics need to be discussable without censorship. An AI that cannot discuss serious matters cannot help heal them.

Memory & Chapters

What are memory cards and chapters?

Chapters are automatically detected segments of your conversation (20-50 messages) that mark natural story breaks. Memory cards capture critical plot points and events within those chapters, acting like bookmarks for important moments.

How often are summaries generated?

Summaries are automatically generated every 25 messages. Each summary is cumulative, including all events from the conversation start to maintain full context.

Can I edit AI-generated memories?

Yes! You can edit any AI-generated memory card. When you do, it becomes marked as "AI-modified" to show it has your personal touch. You can also create your own memory cards from scratch.

How do chapters help with long conversations?

Chapters organize long conversations into manageable segments, making it easy to:

• • Jump to specific story points
• • Track plot progression
• • Find important events quickly
• • Maintain narrative continuity

When do chapters appear?

The chapter navigation appears once your conversation reaches 10+ messages. The AI then analyzes for natural breaks and continues updating as you chat.

Can I force the AI to re-analyze chapters?

Yes, click the refresh icon in the Chapter Navigation overlay to regenerate chapters. This clears existing chapters and starts fresh analysis in the background. You'll be notified when the new chapters are ready. This is useful if the current chapters don't seem right or after major edits.

Are memory cards limited?

AI generates 0-3 memory cards per chapter automatically, focusing on the most critical events. You can manually add unlimited memory cards to capture personal moments.

What happens to chapters when I delete messages?

Chapter positions automatically adjust when messages are deleted. If all messages in a chapter are deleted, that chapter is removed and the previous chapter may reopen.
