Return to the beginning

In confidence

Privacy, quietly kept.

I

An introduction

Viluz — a private sanctuary in the Andalusian hills — offers a short, honest ritual of reflection. This note describes what we receive from you when you arrive at the ritual, how we hold it, and the care we take with it. By continuing, you accept these quiet terms.

II

What you offer

The ritual asks for only what is needed:

  • Your first name
  • An email address we may write back to
  • Your answers to the five questions
  • Any feedback you choose to share on the reflections

Your browser may also quietly relay standard technical details (type, operating system, pages visited, an anonymised IP). We use these only to keep the experience steady.

III

How we use what you share

  • To compose your mirror — your words are read by a private AI to shape your personal reflections. This is the heart of the ritual.
  • To refine the ritual — aggregate, anonymised patterns help us keep the experience relevant and true.
  • To speak with you, if invited — if you ask to continue the conversation with Viluz, we may write back at the address you provided.
IV

Where your words live

Your data is stored with care on encrypted Microsoft Azure infrastructure, both in transit and at rest. We apply:

  • TLS encryption for every exchange
  • Access controls on every administrative surface
  • Routine review of our security posture
  • Content Security Policy headers against injection

No system is ever completely sealed. We do what a careful host would — and tell you plainly where the limits lie.

V

The AI that helps compose the mirror

  • Your answers are passed to a trusted AI partner (OpenRouter) for processing only — never for training.
  • Your reflections are stored alongside your responses.
  • The reflections are personal — they are not medical, psychological, or professional advice.
VI

What we do not do

We do not sell, trade, or rent your information. We share it only when absolutely required:

  • With service partners (Azure, OpenRouter, Vercel) who are bound by their own privacy commitments.
  • Where the law requires it — and only to the extent required.
  • In the rare case that Viluz, as a business, changes hands — your data would pass under these same terms.
VII

Cookies

The ritual uses local storage to hold your place between questions. We use Vercel Analytics for a light read of site usage. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party profiling.

VIII

Your rights

Depending on where you sit in the world, you may:

  • Request a copy of what we hold about you
  • Ask us to correct it
  • Ask us to delete it
  • Receive it in a portable format
  • Object to a given use

To exercise any of these, write to us at the address below.

IX

How long we keep things

We keep your answers only as long as they serve the purpose they were given for — or as long as the law requires, whichever is shorter. You may ask us to remove them at any time.

X

Young guests

Viluz welcomes adult guests only. The ritual is not intended for anyone under eighteen, and we do not knowingly collect information from minors.

XI

Across borders

Your data may be processed in countries other than your own. Data laws differ. By continuing, you accept that your words may travel to where our systems quietly live.

XII

Changes to this note

If we amend this note, we will update the “last tended” date above. Continued use of the ritual after a change is taken as acceptance of the revised note.
