What we store

• Your email address.
• The TVmaze id and name of each show you follow, and for each one what we last saw (its next episode), so that every alert is sent once. Kept while you follow the show. A show you stop following is deleted after 30 days.
• The last information fetched from TVmaze for each followed show (its name, network, next episode and air time). It is shared by everyone who follows that show, and deleted 7 days after the last person stops following it.
• The alert emails we queued or sent (subject and text), and a one-way hash of each stop link. Kept 30 days, then deleted. An alert is queued only when a followed show's next episode is announced, when its air time changes, or once within 24 hours before it airs; the first check of a newly followed show sends no email.
• A count of emails sent in the last 2 hours, with no names, used to stay within our hourly sending limit.
• Failed sign-in attempts: when a wrong sign-in code is entered, we keep the email address it was for, the network address it came from and the time, so that we can stop guessing. They are removed automatically within 2 hours.
• Technical records that are not about you: the registration of the app that connects (for example Claude's return address) and a sign-in that is in progress.
• Nothing else about you. We do not store the words you search for: they are held in memory for up to an hour so that a repeated search does not ask TVmaze again, and then forgotten.
• The TV information comes from TVmaze (www.tvmaze.com), used under the CC BY-SA licence. Only a show's id, or the words you search for, are sent to TVmaze. Your email address is never sent to TVmaze.
• Sign-in codes and sign-in tokens, stored only as one-way hashes, with timestamps.

What we do with it

We use it only to run the service: to sign you in and to do what you ask. We do not sell it or share it with anyone, and we do not use it for advertising. Sign-in codes and alert emails are sent by email through Amazon SES, which sees your email address and the message. We do not read your Claude conversations.

Deleting your data

To delete everything, including your email address, write to help@echelonagents.ai and we will delete your account and all of its data.

How long we keep it

• Your email address: kept until you ask us to delete your account.
• Sign-in codes: each code works for 10 minutes and is removed automatically within 2 hours after it expires.
• Failed sign-in attempts: failed code attempts are kept with the network address they came from for up to 2 hours.
• Sign-in tokens: an access token lasts 1 hour and a refresh token lasts 30 days. Expired tokens are removed automatically within an hour.
• Server logs: they record events such as sign-ins. Email addresses in them are shortened (for example a***@example.com), and they never contain full email addresses, sign-in codes or tokens.
