Privacy Policy

Effective date 7 November 2026

Who operates People Atlas

People Atlas is operated by JAJ TECHNOLOGIES, No 12 N'djamen cresecent Wuse 2 Abuja, Nigeria. For privacy questions, to exercise your rights, or to request account deletion, contact josh.a.japhet@gmail.com. If you are named in someone else's Atlas, you can also contact us through this channel.

Information we process

Account and settings. If you create an account, we process your email address, account identifier, sign-in information and preferences. Supabase provides authentication. If you choose Google sign-in, Google provides account identity information such as your email address and may provide your name and profile image. You can also choose to add a display name, biography or photo in People Atlas.

Workspace content. We process the information you enter or import, such as names, birthdays, contact details, custom fields, notes, photos, favourites, dashboard preferences, tasks, reminders and original source files. This can include information about people who have never used People Atlas. Add only information you have a lawful reason to keep or share with the service.

Guest data and browser storage. Guest profiles, tasks, reminders, preferences and imported files are stored in the browser on that device. They are separate from cloud accounts and do not automatically transfer when you sign in. Clearing site data can erase this content. We use sign-in cookies to maintain account sessions and browser storage for preferences such as theme and tour completion. Optional online features still send the information needed to perform the requested action.

Service information. Hosting and authentication providers may process technical information such as IP addresses, browser or device details, requests and errors to deliver, secure and troubleshoot the service.

Optional features and third parties

Text extraction. The guest built-in reader processes notes on the device. In a cloud account, the built-in reader uses the People Atlas server. When you choose AI extraction, we send the submitted text to the configured provider. Included extraction can use Groq or OpenRouter, depending on configuration. If you configure your own key, the selected provider can be OpenAI, Google Gemini, Groq or OpenRouter. OpenRouter may route the request to a model provider. Saved personal AI keys are encrypted in cloud settings. A key submitted for a guest AI request is used for that request and is not saved by People Atlas. Provider terms and data handling apply. Review suggested entries before saving them.

Voice. Microphone recording requires device or browser permission. When you submit a recording or audio file for AI transcription, People Atlas sends the audio to Groq for transcription. The current app does not save the audio as an Atlas record through that feature. If you use browser dictation, your browser's speech service may process audio, including online processing depending on the browser. You can review the text before adding it to a note.

Google Calendar and Sheets. These features request separate Google permission when used. People Atlas can read spreadsheet data you select and send birthday event information to your calendar when you ask it to. Calendar import uses read-only access to preview event titles and start dates in your selected range. Atlas saves only the titles, start dates and event identifiers of events you choose to import, along with any Atlas profile links you select. It does not request event descriptions or guest lists for import. The app holds the integration access token in memory for the current page session. You can revoke access through your Google Account. Deleting an Atlas entry does not automatically delete a copy you sent to Google Calendar.

Hosting and preset images. Vercel serves the website and its server features. Supabase provides account authentication, cloud storage and the database. Your browser may contact Unsplash to display preset wallpapers. Cloud workspace data is hosted in Supabase's UK region. Service providers may process some data in other countries.

Other disclosures. We may disclose information where required by law or where permitted and necessary to protect people or respond to security incidents. Access by authorised operators is limited to support requests, service maintenance, security investigations and legal obligations.

Why we use information

We use account and workspace information to provide the service you request, including saving and retrieving records, and to perform optional actions you initiate. We rely on performance of our agreement with you to create your account and provide the workspace. We rely on our legitimate interests in keeping the service secure and preventing abuse, where those interests are consistent with your rights. We process information about people recorded by users to provide the private workspace, subject to an assessment of the interests and rights of those people. We rely on consent where required for optional processing, and on legal obligations where the law requires us to act. Where we rely on your consent, you can withdraw it through the relevant settings or by contacting us.

Security, retention and deletion

Cloud records are restricted to their account owner through application and database access controls. Original documents and uploaded photos are stored privately and served using short-lived links. Anyone with a valid link can use it until it expires, so share it carefully. Access controls do not provide end-to-end encryption.

You can edit or delete people and delete listed original files in the app. Removing a photo from a profile clears its association, and a stored copy may remain pending cleanup. Clearing browser site data removes guest records for that browser. It does not remove downloads, exports, calendar entries or copies you shared elsewhere. To request cloud-account deletion, contact josh.a.japhet@gmail.com from the email address associated with your People Atlas account. We keep active cloud records while your account is open or until you delete them. We handle account-deletion requests by email and may ask for verification before acting. Deleted data may remain temporarily in provider backups, and operational logs follow the applicable provider retention settings. We may retain information longer where required by law. Contact us for details about retention or the status of a deletion request.

Your privacy rights

Depending on applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or object to certain processing. You may withdraw consent where it is the basis for processing. We may need to verify your identity before responding. If you are in Nigeria, you may also lodge a complaint with the Nigeria Data Protection Commission. Contact josh.a.japhet@gmail.com to exercise these rights or ask about a record that concerns you.

Children and changes to this policy

People Atlas accounts are for adults aged 18 and over. Contact us if you believe a child created an account or that information about a child was stored without appropriate authorisation. We will post changes on this page and provide additional notice when required.
