What Distill Is

Distill is a thinking development and reflection tool. It helps you capture your own perspective after consuming content. It is NOT a medical device and is NOT intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical or psychological condition.

Data We Collect

• Email address — used for authentication only.
• Reflection content — the text you write after consuming content. This is the core of what Distill stores.
• Session metadata — content titles, types (book/video/article/podcast), and optional reasons you provide.
• Usage data — streak counts, reflection counts, and timestamps. Used to power your dashboard.
• Payment data — if you upgrade to Pro, Stripe processes your payment. We store only your Stripe customer ID, not your card details.

How We Use Your Data

• To provide and maintain the Distill service.
• To resurface your own reflections at intervals (3, 7, 30, 90 days) so you can revisit your thinking.
• To track your streak and reflection counts.
• To process payments via Stripe.

What We Never Do

• Your reflections are never used for AI training. Not by us. Not by any third party. Not ever.
• Your data is never shared with third parties for marketing, advertising, or any other purpose.
• Your reflection content is never logged in server logs or error tracking systems.

Data Retention

Your data is stored for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, all data is soft-deleted immediately and permanently purged within 30 days. Deleted reflections are also purged 30 days after deletion.

Your Rights (GDPR)

If you are in the EU/EEA, you have the following rights:

• Right to access — Export all your data at any time from Settings.
• Right to deletion — Delete your account from Settings. All data is purged within 30 days.
• Right to portability — Your data export is in human-readable JSON format.
• Right to rectification — Edit any reflection at any time from your library.
