Who we are

underway is operated by Personal Works Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales. For anything on this page, contact rich@personalworks.co.

Your recordings stay on your device

Video and audio you record are stored locally in your own browser (IndexedDB) or on your phone. They are not uploaded to our servers for storage, and we cannot watch them.

If you turn on sync so your episodes appear on more than one device, your recordings are stored in our Supabase project for that purpose alone. You can turn sync off and delete what it holds.

Recording is always opt-in

The camera and microphone are only ever active after you press record, and a visible indicator shows when capture is happening. There is no ambient or all-day recording, and the app never listens in the background.

What we send to other companies, and why

• OpenAI (transcription). Audio from your takes is sent to OpenAI’s Whisper API to be turned into text. It is processed for that request and is not used to train their models.
• Anthropic (the interview). The note about your day, your transcripts and your chosen angle are sent to Anthropic’s API so Claude can propose angles, write questions and assemble the cut. Not used for training.
• Supabase (accounts). Your email address and sign-in session. If you sign in with Google, we receive your email address and name from Google — nothing else, and we never gain access to your Google account.
• Vercel (hosting). Standard server logs, including IP addresses, kept briefly for security and reliability.

We do not sell your data, we do not share it with advertisers, and we do not use your recordings or transcripts to train any model of our own.

Deleting things

Deleting a session removes it and everything derived from it — the takes, the transcripts and every render. Deleting your account removes your account record and anything synced with it. Because recordings live on your device, clearing your browser data or deleting the app removes them too.

Your raw footage is downloadable at any time, on every plan. It is your face and your voice; we are not going to hold it hostage.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you can ask for a copy of the personal data we hold, ask us to correct or delete it, or object to how we use it. Email the address above and we will respond within one month. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk).

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that affects how your recordings are handled, we will tell you in the app before it takes effect — not quietly update this page.
