Encrypted in transit and at rest
Happenstance encrypts your data while it moves between systems and while it is stored.
Security at Happenstance

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

Data practices
Privacy and security come first.
These practices apply to everything you connect. The full details are in our privacy policy.
Never used to train AI
We don't sell your network data or use it to train AI models.
Private by default
Your connections aren't public. Your connections are only searchable to you, the Happenstance friends you accept, and the Happenstance groups you join.
Disconnect anytime
Disconnecting stops future sync and deletes the data imported from that account, including stored credentials and network connections. You can reconnect at any time.
Connectors
We collect only what's necessary.
Happenstance needs to understand who you know. It doesn't need the contents of your messages, and each connector is built around that difference.

Inspect first, upload second
Supported network exports are processed locally in your browser. You select what to share and can preview exactly what will be uploaded.
Email & DMs
No message bodies or attachments
We don't request or receive message bodies or attachments from Gmail, Outlook, or your LinkedIn and Instagram DMs. We only use details like who sent a message and when to understand who you know.
Connected accounts
Access you grant and can revoke
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 results
Results show people, not messages
Search helps someone find the right person. It never exposes the content or recency of your private communications.
Independent assurance
Independent reviews back our security practices.
External reviews provide independent evidence for our security controls and our handling of user-directed data transfers.
