Care, not surveillance: what Jambu notices and what it never reads
A plain-language look at the few signals Jambu uses to learn your rhythm, where that data lives, and the controls you keep over it.
By Jambu2 min read
A lot of tools that promise to help you focus start by watching everything: screenshots, keystrokes, every page you open. We think that gets the relationship backwards. You can't feel cared for by something that is reading over your shoulder.
Jambu learns from the shape of your day, not its content. Here is exactly what that means.
What Jambu notices
- The active domain — for example, the site's name rather than the full address of the page.
- Timestamps, so it can see when you tend to start, pause and stop.
- Session duration, so it can tell a short burst from a long stretch.
- Idle state, so it knows when you have stepped away.
That information is used for two things only: learning your recurring routines, and timing Care Moments so they land when they are likely to help.
What it never collects
Jambu does not collect page contents, keystrokes, passwords, credentials, form inputs, private messages, screenshots or clipboard contents.
Context, not content: the rhythm of your day, never what you read or write.
Where it lives
We'd rather be specific than vague. Your account and activity information are stored with Supabase, which handles Jambu's database and sign-in, and Jambu's API runs on Render. The privacy policy doesn't set fixed retention periods yet — instead, deleting is always in your hands.
What you can do, any time
- Pause Jambu, or snooze a Care Moment for 5, 10 or 20 minutes.
- Export your data.
- Delete your activity history.
- Delete your account and its associated data.
The full details are in our privacy policy, written to be read rather than skimmed. If anything there is unclear, the contact address is at the bottom of it.
