Privacy Policy

Effective October 17, 2026

Short version: we collect only what we need to write and deliver your letter. What you write is encrypted, your name never goes to the AI model, and we never sell your data.

1. Who is responsible for your data

Alexey Mostovshchikov, an individual residing in the Russian Federation. Email: hello@letterfromlater.com.

2. What we collect

Data	Where it comes from	Why
A session key — a random string not tied to your identity	Created when you start the questions	To keep your answers together and open your letter by its link
Your age	You	To make sure the Service is used by adults only
The name you’d like to be called (optional)	You	To address you in the letter
Your answers and your letter	You / the Service	To write your letter and let you reread it
Your email address	You, when paying	Receipt, a copy of the letter, and the letter again in one year
Payment details: amount, date, payment ID	Our payment agent	To confirm your purchase, keep accounting records, handle disputes
Anonymous visit statistics	Yandex Metrica	To understand where visitors come from

We don’t ask for or store your phone number, home address, ID documents or card details. You don’t need an account or a password.

3. How we protect it

Your answers and your letter are stored encrypted. The encryption key never leaves our server.
Your name is never sent to the AI model. The model gets a placeholder; your name is filled in only when the letter is shown or emailed to you.
Our logs don’t contain the text of your answers or your letter. Records of possible crisis signals are kept without anything that identifies you.
The connection between you and the Service is encrypted (HTTPS).
Your letters open by a private link that comes to your own email. Anyone who has the link can read the letter, so please don’t share it.

4. Who receives your data

We don’t sell your data and don’t share it for advertising. We pass it only to those the Service can’t work without:

Recipient	What	Why
Our AI access provider and, through it, the developers of the AI models	Your answers, without your name or email	To write your letter and check answers for signs of crisis
lava.top (Lavalane LTD, Cyprus)	Your email and the payment	To take the payment and send you a receipt
Our email hosting provider	Your email address and the letter	To deliver your letter by email
Yandex Metrica	Anonymous visit statistics (no session recording)	Traffic statistics

Where your data is. Our servers are located in Russia, and your data is stored there. The AI models that write the letter run on servers outside Russia; your answers are sent there without your name or email address. By using the Service you agree to these transfers.

5. How long we keep it

Your answers and letter: for as long as you use the Service, including the one-year email, and until you ask us to delete them.
Payment records: for the period required by accounting law, without your personal details once those are deleted.
Anonymous statistics: indefinitely, since they can’t identify you.
If you tell us you are under 18, we don’t keep your answers at all.

6. Your rights

You can ask us what data we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete everything. Write to hello@letterfromlater.com from the email your letter came to, or include the link to your letter. We delete within 3 business days. Your answers and all your letters are erased permanently, and the one-year email is cancelled; payment records remain in anonymous form as accounting law requires.

If you live in a US state with its own privacy law, such as California, you have these rights under that law too.

7. Cookies and browser storage

The page keeps the random session key in your browser’s local storage, so a reload doesn’t lose your progress. Your answers themselves are not stored in the browser. Yandex Metrica uses its own cookies for anonymous statistics.

8. Age

The Service is for adults (18+). We don’t knowingly collect data from anyone under 18.

9. Changes

We’ll update the date at the top when this policy changes.
