Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 13, 2026
Short version: we collect the email you give us and (in the app) the photos you send to Jin during a repair. We don't sell either, ever. The longer version is below.
1. What this policy covers
This policy covers the SokoJin website (sokojin.life) and the SokoJin iOS app. It's written by a human and meant to be readable. If anything's unclear, email hello@sokojin.life.
2. What we collect on the website
- Email address, if you join the waitlist or email us directly.
- Waitlist survey answers, if you fill them in.
- Privacy-friendly analytics (page views, referrer, country) via a service that does not use cookies or fingerprinting.
- Outbound link clicks to Amazon and other partners, so we know which guides are useful.
We don't use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or third-party advertising trackers.
3. What we collect in the app
- Photos you send to Jin during a repair session, plus your messages.
- Diagnosis ratings (thumbs up / thumbs down on Jin's suggestions).
- Crash and performance logs, anonymized.
Photos are sent to our AI partners (Google Gemini and, as a fallback, Anthropic Claude) to generate the diagnosis. They are not retained by us beyond the repair session unless you explicitly opt in to help train Jin by tapping "share this for improvement" on a specific message.
4. Who we share data with
- Google (Gemini API), to process your repair photos and questions.
- Anthropic (Claude API), as a fallback when Gemini can't help.
- Resend, for waitlist and contact emails.
- Airtable, where we store waitlist sign-ups.
- Plausible Analytics, for privacy-friendly page-view data.
- Amazon, only when you click an affiliate link (Amazon then sees the visit, per their policy).
We don't sell your data, and we don't share it for advertising purposes.
5. Cookies
The website doesn't use tracking cookies. We may use a single functional cookie to remember if you've dismissed a banner. The app uses only the cookies/tokens necessary for you to stay signed in.
6. Your rights
Email hello@sokojin.life from the address you signed up with and we will:
- Show you what we have on you.
- Delete it on request, no questions.
- Export it as a JSON file if you want a copy.
7. Children
SokoJin is not directed at children under 13 and we don't knowingly collect data from them.
8. Changes
If this policy changes in a way that affects how we handle existing data, we'll email everyone on the waitlist before the change takes effect.
