When you create an account, we collect your email address and name through our authentication provider (Clerk). When you use Council, we store your conversations, council sessions, and mentor selections to provide and improve the service.

We use your information to:

• Provide and maintain the Council service
• Process payments through Stripe
• Send important service updates
• Improve our AI mentoring experience

3. AI-Generated Content

All mentor responses are generated by artificial intelligence (Claude by Anthropic). These responses do not constitute professional advice. Your conversations are used to provide the service and are not shared with third parties for training purposes.

• Clerk (authentication)
• Stripe (payments)
• Anthropic (AI responses)
