Who we are

Shame Shield is a trading name of Ainsleys Touch Ltd, a company registered in England & Wales (company no. 17294211), registered office 66 Paul Street, London, England, EC2A 4NA. Ainsleys Touch Ltd is the data controller for your personal data.

Shame Shield is a space for healing, so we treat your information with care. This policy explains what we collect and why, in plain language.

What we collect

Your name and email (to create your account), your onboarding answers, your daily check-ins, your captured thoughts and tasks, and your messages with the AI coach.

How we use it

Only to run the app for you: to personalise your coaching, track your progress, and keep you signed in. We never sell your data.

Lawful basis & sensitive data

Some information you share (for example how you feel) may be considered health-related, which is special-category data under UK/EU GDPR. We process it on the basis of your explicit consent, which you give during onboarding. You can withdraw consent at any time by deleting your account.

Who else handles your data (sub-processors)

Our cloud database hostSecurely storing your account data

Your messages are sent to our AI providers only to generate a reply; they are not used to train their models.

Crisis safety

If you write something suggesting you're in crisis, the app shows helpline information. We are not an emergency service.

Your rights & control

You can access or delete your data at any time. Deleting your account (Settings → Delete my account, or via our Delete my data page) permanently removes your profile, check-ins, and coach history.
