Privacy, in plain language.
Last updated: July 2026
Abyss is built around restraint. We collect as little as possible, never sell data, and never run ads. This page explains what that means in practice.
No ads, ever
We don't sell attention. The product is the product.
You decide what's saved
By default, ephemeral. Archive only what you choose.
No public profiles
No follower counts, no public posts, no leaderboards.
Safety first
Community features are opt-in, moderated, and time-limited.
What we collect
Email when you join the waitlist or create a membership account. That's it for the marketing site.
Inside the app: anything you type or speak in Dump + Vanish is processed in-memory and discarded. Content you choose to archive is encrypted at rest and visible only to you.
What we don't do
- We don't sell or share your data with advertisers.
- We don't run ads, affiliate links, or sponsored content.
- We don't use dark patterns to maximise time-on-app.
- We don't build a public social graph.
Anonymous Resonance
When enabled, Anonymous Resonance briefly pairs you with another opted-in user in a similar state. There are no identities, no profiles, no message history persisted outside the moment. Sessions are moderated by automated and human safety systems.
Your rights
You can export or delete your archive at any time. You can leave the waitlist or close your account in one click—we'll permanently delete associated data within 30 days, except where law requires retention.
