Jinx Privacy Policy

Effective date: November 23, 2026

Jinx is a social networking app that creates personalized content and AI-generated experiences. You can interact with Jinx and connect with friends to view, share, and engage with personalized content.

Jinx is operated by Shared Context Lab, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share personal information when you use Jinx and its related services. Jinx is currently offered only in the United States to adults aged 18 or older.

Jinx is social. Information you share with Jinx, including in chats, may be used to create personalized content that your accepted friends on Jinx can see, including friends you connect with later. This content may reveal, paraphrase, or refer to details you shared, draw on what your friends tell Jinx about you, or reflect inferences about you, without a separate sharing action for each item.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide, information from your use of Jinx, and information generated through your interactions with Jinx and its social features:

Some information you provide may be sensitive. Only provide information you are comfortable having processed and reflected in personalized content as described in this Policy. Respect the privacy of others when providing information about them, and only share information about a friend that you have the right to share.

2. How We Use Information

We use information to:

3. AI Processing, Memory, and Improvement

Providing AI features. Jinx uses AI services from providers such as OpenAI and Anthropic to create personalized content and experiences. We may send relevant profile information, conversations, personalization memories, and other information needed for the requested features to these providers for processing.

Personalization memory. Jinx remembers information from your interactions, including details, summaries, preferences, and inferences, to personalize future content and experiences. This information can also inform personalized content visible to your accepted friends through Jinx's social features.

De-identified information. We may create de-identified information from conversations, content, feedback, and interactions and use it to improve and develop Jinx and the technology that powers it.

De-identified information is processed so it cannot reasonably be linked to you or your household. We take reasonable measures to keep it de-identified, commit not to re-identify it except to test our de-identification process as permitted by law, and contractually require recipients to follow the same restrictions.

Third-party model training. We do not permit OpenAI, Anthropic, or other AI providers to use information we send them to train their general-purpose models.

4. How We Share Information

We disclose information in the following circumstances:

Social features. Your accepted friends on Jinx, including friends you connect with later, may see personalized content generated from information you and your friends provide to Jinx, including information from chats and personalization memory. This content may reveal, paraphrase, or refer to details about you or reflect inferences about you even when you have not separately shared the original information. Within Jinx, other users can see content Jinx generates about you only if they are your accepted friends. Friends may copy, screenshot, or share what they see, which is outside our control. Social interactions and content you post or share may also be visible to other users.

AI providers. We share relevant information with third party providers such as OpenAI and Anthropic to provide the AI features described in Section 3.

Review by our team. Authorized members of our team and our service providers may review conversations and content to provide support, keep Jinx safe, enforce our Terms, and improve Jinx.

Other service providers. We use companies that help us provide hosting, infrastructure, analytics, security, communications, support, and other operational services. Service providers acting on our behalf may also help improve Jinx using de-identified information as described in Section 3.

Crash diagnostics. When the app crashes, stops responding, runs slowly, or is stopped by the operating system, it sends a diagnostic report to Sentry, our error-monitoring provider, so we can keep Jinx working. These reports carry technical details such as the device model, the operating system and app versions, and where in the app the problem happened, along with a device identifier and, while you are signed in, your account ID, so they are linked to your account and device. We use them only to find and fix problems, not for tracking or advertising. Our website sends similar error reports.

Legal and safety purposes. We may disclose information when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, and security, prevent fraud or abuse, or enforce our Terms, consistent with applicable law.

Business transactions. Information may be disclosed or transferred in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets, subject to applicable law and applicable privacy commitments.

Advertising. To promote Jinx and see how our marketing performs, we may work with advertising and analytics partners that may receive limited technical information through cookies and similar tools, such as device identifiers and how you found or use our app and website. On iPhone, we do this across other companies' apps and websites only if you allow it. Some state laws call this "sharing" personal information or "targeted advertising." You can opt out anytime by emailing hello@sharedcontextlab.com.

5. Your Choices and Privacy Rights

You can control permission for precise location through your device settings.

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, including information stored for personalization, by contacting hello@sharedcontextlab.com. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw that consent. Depending on the information involved, this may affect features that rely on it.

You can also ask us to hide, correct, or remove content about you, including content shaped by what your friends told Jinx. We review these requests and decide how to handle them at our discretion, subject to applicable law.

We may ask for information reasonably necessary to verify your identity before completing a request.

Depending on where you live and which laws apply, you may have additional rights, including obtaining a portable copy of your information, limiting certain uses of sensitive information, or appealing a decision about a privacy request. We will honor applicable rights and will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising them.

6. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide Jinx and fulfill the purposes described in this Policy. We consider the type of information, the purpose for which it is used, whether your account remains active, and applicable legal and security requirements.

You may initiate account deletion through Jinx's account settings. You may also contact hello@sharedcontextlab.com for assistance.

When you request deletion, we aim to delete your account and associated personal information from active systems within 30 days, subject to applicable law and limited retention exceptions. Associated information includes stored conversations, personalization memories, and content associated with your account that we host. We also take steps to have relevant service providers delete personal information as required by applicable law.

We may retain limited records where required or permitted by law for legal compliance, security, fraud prevention, or resolving disputes. Copies may remain temporarily in backups until they expire under our retention schedule.

We may retain de-identified or aggregated information that cannot reasonably be linked to you for research, analytics, and service improvement, subject to the safeguards described in Section 3.

Copies that other users have saved or shared outside Jinx, such as screenshots, may remain outside our control.

7. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, and disclosure.

No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Age Restrictions

Jinx is intended only for adults aged 18 or older. We do not knowingly provide Jinx to anyone under 18.

If we learn that an underage person has created an account, we will take appropriate steps to close the account and delete associated personal information, subject to applicable law.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in Jinx, our data practices, or applicable law.

We will update the effective date, provide notice of material changes, and obtain additional permission where required by law.
