RANI household messaging

Privacy Policy

RANI — a personal HomeLab AI assistant operated by Andrue Alexander.

This policy describes the public RANI website and how RANI will handle information once its household messaging program is available.

Information RANI handles

The public site describes the program. Web enrollment is currently disabled and the preview form collects no information. The hosting provider may process ordinary request information, such as IP addresses, to deliver and secure the site.

When messaging launches, RANI will handle household members' names and phone numbers, SMS messages and AI conversation histories, Seerr media requests and Jellyfin availability information, and records of consent and household authorization. Consent records include the enrollment method, what you agreed to, and when you gave or withdrew consent.

How RANI uses that information

RANI uses information to confirm who is authorized, verify and record SMS consent, answer questions, provide household service updates, and notify members when something they requested is available. It also uses program records to honor opt-outs, troubleshoot delivery and enrollment, and protect access to household services.

Who can access information

Andrue administers RANI and can access information needed to operate and support it. Household members have access to their own interactions and the household services they are authorized to use. RANI is designed to restrict access to approved household members.

Twilio will process phone numbers and message content to deliver SMS and any future RCS messages. The OpenAI API will process conversation content to generate RANI's responses. Hosting and household service providers may process the information needed to perform their role.

RANI does not sell personal information or share it with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes. Mobile information, SMS opt-in data, and consent are not sold or shared for third-party marketing. Service providers process information as needed to operate the program.

Retention and deletion

RANI's planned retention period for household history is indefinite unless a member requests deletion. You can ask Andrue directly to delete your individual stored history. Andrue will handle requests directly. The planned deletion process is intended to remove your individual history while preserving other members' records.

To end SMS messages after the program launches, reply STOP. An opt-out ends messaging and is separate from a request to delete your history.
