Privacy Policy — Animus Project

Last updated: November 2026

1. Sacred Foundation: Radical Anonymity & Zero PII

Privacy, individual sovereignty, and human dignity are the non-negotiable reasons the Animus Project and its applications exist. In an era dominated by surveillance capitalism, predatory engagement algorithms, non-consensual biometric training, and covert commercial profiling, Animus stands as an uncompromising fortress for personal autonomy.

This Privacy Policy governs all applications, websites, and services provided by Animus Project LLC, including:

  • Animus Project (animusproject.org) — The collective intelligence and consensus graph network.
  • Animus (animus.animusproject.org) — The platform for dilemmas and consensus reciprocity.
  • Animus Remnant (remnant.animusproject.org) — The personal AI companion, memory vault, and neural voice mask.
  • Animus Resonance (resonance.animusproject.org) — The ethical, multidimensional human connection network.

Radical Data Minimization:

  • We do not collect, store, or demand your real name, physical address, telephone number, address book contacts, or social media handles for core participation.
  • We do not collect device serial numbers, advertising identifiers (IDFA/GAID), or invasive tracking tokens.
  • When answering dilemmas, individual responses are associated only with broad, non-identifiable demographic brackets (age group, general geographic region, gender identity) to enable sociological insight without individual surveillance.

2. Zero-Spyware Commitment & Real-Time Network Auditability

We believe genuine privacy must be provable through transparent technical verification, not blind trust in corporate statements.

  • Absolute Zero-Spyware Guarantee: None of the applications in the Animus Project suite—across Linux, Windows, Android, iOS, or the web—contain any spyware, adware, commercial tracking SDKs, device fingerprinting libraries, or hidden behavioral telemetry agents.
  • Strict Network Call Minimization: Our software never initiates network requests or communicates with any server, data broker, or third-party service that is not strictly, indispensably necessary for the direct execution of features explicitly requested by you.
  • Publicly and Independently Auditable: We engineered our network communication layer with total transparency. Any user, developer, or independent cybersecurity researcher can easily verify our claims by inspecting the network traffic of any Animus application in real time using standard packet inspection and network monitoring tools (including Wireshark, Little Snitch, mitmproxy, Charles Proxy, or native operating system socket inspectors). You will observe zero background pings to advertising brokers, zero covert analytics beacons, and zero unprompted outbound connections.

3. Technical Session Cookies & Storage

  • Strictly Functional Cookies Only: We use minimal, strictly functional session cookies (such as authenticated Firebase tokens) solely to maintain your active session across authorized subdomains (animusproject.org).
  • Zero Third-Party Advertising Cookies: We never deploy third-party advertising cookies, cross-site trackers, or marketing pixels.
  • Local Storage: Preferences such as interface theme (dark/light mode) and local cryptographic keys are retained directly on your local device storage.

4. Storage in Aggregated Knowledge Graphs

  • Neo4j Property Graph Architecture: Dilemmas and responses are committed to decentralized and de-identified property graph structures (:Question-[:CONSENSUS]->:Demographics).
  • Commit-to-Unlock Protection: Individual answers are committed blindly before community distributions are revealed. This eliminates herd mentality and bandwagon bias at the protocol layer.
  • Deduplication Without Tracking: Similar questions are dynamically merged into unified semantic nodes, aggregating thousands of human perspectives into clean statistical clarity without retaining individual user identifiers.

5. Cryptographic Standards & Communication Security

  • Encryption in Transit: All network communications between your devices and our server clusters utilize encrypted TLS 1.3 channels with forward secrecy.
  • Encryption at Rest: Persistent database volumes and storage clusters are encrypted using industry-standard AES-256.
  • End-to-End Encrypted Communications: Text chats, audio exchanges, and resonance dialogues are encrypted end-to-end between participating devices. Our infrastructure facilitates delivery without inspecting or retaining the cleartext contents of your conversations.
  • Zero Third-Party Model Training: Your voice samples, private journal entries, conversation transcripts, and memory graphs will never be sold, licensed, or used to train public foundation artificial intelligence models or external commercial algorithms.

6. Right to Absolute Erasure: Permanent & Irrevocable Deletion

You hold absolute, permanent sovereignty over your participation and records:

  • Strict Pre-Deletion Authentication Protocols: Because voice models, lifetime memory vaults, and graph histories represent irreplaceable personal heritage, deletion requests require strict identity authentication to prevent accidental account loss, automated destruction, or unauthorized third-party tampering.
  • Complete, Irrevocable & Permanent Deletion: Upon confirmed request, our systems execute an irreversible cryptographic purge of all your account records, credentials, voice checkpoints, memory graph nodes, credit balances, and active resonance links from all active database clusters.
  • Zero Possibility of Recovery / No Shadow Copies: We refuse to perform deceptive "soft-deletes" or keep shadow archives. Once the purge is executed, your data is mathematically unrecoverable and cannot be restored by anyone—including Animus systems administrators.

7. Application-Specific Privacy Provisions

7.1. Animus (`animusproject.org` / `animus.animusproject.org`)

  • Anonymous participation in daily dilemmas (10–20 dilemmas per day).
  • Reciprocal credit loop (Give to Ask) tracks participation balance without tracking personal identity.
  • Demographic consensus data is published strictly in aggregate form.

7.2. Animus Remnant (`remnant.animusproject.org`)

  • Architectural Isolation: Personal memory graphs (/user), synthetic persona reasoning networks (/persona), and operating system automation tools (/system/jarvis) are partitioned into isolated sectors to prevent cross-contamination.
  • Personal Voice Sovereignty: Neural voice weights and acoustic markers are cryptographically bound to your private user vault. Accessible exclusively by you or designated beneficiaries explicitly authorized through your private keys.
  • Desktop Autonomy (Jarvis): On desktop operating systems (Linux, Windows), local task automation, terminal executions, and file operations run directly on your hardware and remain strictly confined within your machine.
  • Legacy Crystal Standalone Export: You hold the right to export your entire memory graph and voice persona into an encrypted, offline archive ("Legacy Crystal") for independent family custody without ongoing cloud dependence.

7.3. Animus Resonance (`resonance.animusproject.org`)

  • Mandatory Animus Prerequisite: Resonance operates exclusively on the mathematical thought graph generated by your responses in Animus.
  • Cognitive Concordance Without Raw Exposure: Compatibility is calculated via vector alignment (>90% threshold) across ethical and philosophical axes. Other users never see your individual question history or specific answers; they see only high-level resonance percentages and mutual alignment categories.
  • Mind First (Radical Initial Blindness): All prospective matches begin completely blind—with zero photographs, zero real names, zero social handles, and zero vanity metrics.
  • Double-Blind Progressive Disclosure: Unlocking subsequent communication phases (anonymous text chat -> voice notes -> mutual persona/mask reveal) requires independent, bilateral consent from both parties. If either party chooses not to advance, the other is never alerted, preventing one-sided exposure, social awkwardness, or explicit rejection.

8. User Rights & Regulatory Compliance (GDPR, CCPA & Florida Law)

Animus complies with the highest international standards of data protection:

  • Right to Access & Portability: You may request and export your account data and graph records at any time.
  • Right to Rectification & Erasure: You may correct your demographic markers or execute irrevocable account deletion.
  • Florida Statutory Compliance: Animus Project LLC is organized under the laws of Florida, United States, and adheres to applicable commercial and consumer protection standards.
  • Apple App Store & Google Play Compliance: This policy fully complies with Apple and Google developer guidelines regarding user privacy disclosures, data minimization, functional transparency, and account deletion workflows.
