Most mental health apps treat your deepest thoughts like data to be mined. We built VocalCalm differently because we believe some things should stay private.
Ever.
Your voice sessions are processed entirely by AI. No staff member will ever hear your words or read your transcripts. Not for "quality assurance." Not for training. Not for any reason.
We don't send your conversations to BigTech. We use open-source AI frameworks that keep your data separate from tech giants.
Many companies use your data to train their AI models. We never do. Your sessions aren't used to make AI smarter. Your words stay yours.
We don't store full transcripts of your conversations. We save only brief insight notes—like "User found breathing exercises helpful"—so your coach can remember what matters.
Your name and email are never attached to your conversations. AI services receive only your words with an anonymous ID. They literally cannot know who you are.
Not now. Not ever. Our business model is subscriptions, not your data. We make money when you value our service, not when we sell your information.

We use open-source language models that run on privacy-respecting infrastructure. Your conversations don't go through big tech APIs that might retain or analyze your data.
When you have a conversation, we process it in real time but don't store the full transcript. Instead, we save brief insight notes—summaries of what was helpful—so your wellness coach can remember context without storing your actual words.
Your personal information (name, email) lives in one system. Your conversations live in another. They're connected only by an anonymous ID. The AI services that process your conversations literally cannot know who you are.
"The concept of it being anonymous really helped me open up. I could finally talk about the stuff I hide from everyone."
