Happenstance works by understanding who you know. This page explains what we collect, who can search it, and what happens when you disconnect.

Happenstance needs to understand who you know. It doesn't need the contents of your messages, and each connector is built around that difference.
Supported network exports are processed locally in your browser. You select what to share and can preview exactly what will be uploaded.
Email and DM content and attachments never reach our servers. We use only who messaged who, and when, to understand who you know and how well you know them.
Supported accounts connect through OAuth, so we never see your password and you can revoke access at any time. We request the access each connector needs, read-only where available.
Search helps someone find the right person. It never exposes the content or recency of your private communications.
These principles apply to everything you connect.
Your data is encrypted while it moves between systems and while it's stored.
We never sell your network data, and we never use it to train AI models.
Your network is searchable only by you, the friends you accept, and the groups you join. Your profile shows a network constellation of the people you know by default, which you can turn off anytime.
Disconnecting stops future sync and deletes or de-identifies the data we imported from that account, apart from anything we must keep for legal or security reasons. You can reconnect whenever you want.
Outside auditors have independently reviewed how we protect your data and handle the transfers you ask for.
