Antechamber. Last updated 21 September 2026.
The short version. Antechamber has no accounts, no sign-in and no password. You never type anything into it — not a name, not an email, not a question. (Buying premium happens in Google's own purchase sheet, where you may confirm with your Google account. That is between you and Google, and none of it reaches us.) The readings you keep, the sign you chose and everything you set live on your phone only, and we have never held a copy of any of it.
If you buy premium access, the payment happens inside Google Play's own purchase sheet. We never see your card, your name or your email address. We sell nothing about you to anybody, and there is no advertising anywhere in the app.
Antechamber is made by Citadel of the Mind Software LLC, a limited liability company registered in California, United States. We are the people responsible for the information described on this page.
You can reach us about anything on this page at [email protected].
This is worth saying before anything else, because it explains why the rest of this page is so short. Antechamber has no user accounts. There is no sign-up, no sign-in, no password, no email verification and no profile. We do not know who you are and we have no way to find out.
When you buy premium access, the person Google charges is whoever is signed in to Google Play on your phone. That is between you and Google. It is not an account with us.
Everything in this list is stored only in the app's own storage on your device. None of it is transmitted anywhere, to us or to anyone else, and no copy of it exists on any server we operate:
Your readings are yours and they stay where you can see them. If you uninstall the app or clear its data, all of the above is deleted with it, by your phone, and there is no copy anywhere for us to return to you.
There is no text box anywhere in the app. You are invited to hold a question in mind, and you are never asked to write it down. Your intention is a single tap on one of four symbols.
This is deliberate and it is a privacy decision as much as a design one. The most sensitive thing a person could tell a tarot app is the question they came with. Antechamber is built so that you cannot tell us, which means we cannot lose it, be asked for it, or be compelled to hand it over.
Premium access is sold through Google Play. When you buy, Google's own purchase sheet appears over the app. You pay Google. We never see your card number, your billing address, your name or your email address, and none of that ever touches our software.
To know whether this copy of the app has been paid for, we use RevenueCat, a subscription service that acts as our data processor. So that it can answer that question, RevenueCat receives and stores:
RevenueCat is never told what you drew, what you asked, what you kept, or anything else you do in the app. It is told that an anonymous installation bought a plan. Data may be processed on servers in the United States.
This check happens outside the ritual — before you begin, or when the app starts. It never runs during a reading.
From the moment a reading begins to the moment it ends, measurement is switched off entirely. Nothing about what you are doing is recorded and nothing about it is sent — not which card you are on, not which screen is open, nothing. The row describing how far you got is assembled afterwards, from a count held in the app's own memory.
There are two reasons, and only one of them is about privacy. A reading is several minutes of continuous audio in headphones, and anything competing for the network can be heard as a stumble. The other reason is that a request made at the moment you turn a card is a record of you turning that card. We would rather that record never exist.
We count how far a reading gets, so that we can tell whether the app works for people. This is the only thing we measure, and it exists to answer one question: do people finish a reading, or does something in it lose them?
What is counted is how far a run reached:
They are counts, not a diary. A run is held in the app's memory while it happens and sent as a single row when it ends. It carries no times, so it cannot say when you used the app or how long you looked at anything.
What is never recorded, under any circumstances: the cards you drew, the seed that produced them, which reading you were given, which intention you chose on any particular run, or what you kept. The four intentions are counted in total and never attached to a run.
We use Google Analytics for Firebase for this. Those counts are attached to a Firebase installation identifier: a random value unique to this installation of Antechamber on this device. It is not your name, it is not shared with other apps, and it is reset if you reinstall the app or clear its data. Alongside them Firebase records standard technical context: your device model, your Android version, the version of Antechamber you are running, your language setting, and an approximate country derived from your IP address.
Google acts as our data processor for this and it is subject to Google's own terms. Data may be processed on servers in the United States.
We switch off the Android advertising identifier, and we switch off the device identifier that would survive a reinstall. Nothing we measure is used for advertising, we build no advertising profiles, we do not sell or share your information with data brokers, and there is no advertising anywhere in the app. We also switch off automatic screen tracking, so Firebase is never told which screen you are looking at — including during a reading.
Google Analytics records a small number of its own housekeeping events that cannot be turned off — that a session began, and that the app is in use. These carry no information about what you were doing.
Antechamber uses Firebase Crashlytics so that we find out when the app fails. When it crashes it sends a technical report: where in the code it failed, your device model, your Android version, the version of Antechamber, and the time. It contains nothing about your reading — not the cards, not the seed, not anything you kept. We use it to fix the fault and nothing else.
One switch in Settings turns off both the counting and the crash reports, together. There is deliberately not a separate control for each, because a switch that quietly left half of it running would make the rest of this page worth less than the paper it is on.
Turning it off stops the app sending anything further. Everything else works exactly as before — nothing is withheld from you for declining, no feature is disabled, and we do not ask again.
Every word Antechamber speaks is already inside the app when you install it. Nothing is streamed, nothing is downloaded as you use it, and the app does not contact us to find out what to say. That is why there is no section here about a media server: there isn't one.
It also means the whole reading works with no signal at all. Aeroplane mode changes nothing about what you hear.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to see, correct, export or delete personal information a company holds about you. Antechamber is built so that most of these have nothing to act on: the readings, the cards, the sign and the intentions are on your phone and have never been sent to us, and there is no account to look you up by.
The one record that exists is the anonymous purchase record described above. If you want it deleted, write to [email protected] and we will act on it — though note that deleting it does not cancel a subscription, which lives in Google Play, and may prevent premium access being restored to a new phone.
We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising.
Antechamber is not directed at children and is not designed for them. Do not use it if you are under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. Because there is no account and nothing is sent to us, there is in practice nothing for us to hold — but if you believe a child has used the app and something needs removing, write to us and we will remove it.
Some countries set a higher age for this kind of consent. In parts of the European Union and the United Kingdom the age at which a person can agree to their data being handled is 16 rather than 13. If you are under that age where you live, ask a parent or guardian before turning on the measurement setting described above — and if they would rather you did not, leaving it off costs you nothing. The app is complete either way.
Everything above is about the Antechamber app. The page you are reading is an ordinary web page and it works the way web pages work. Delivering it to you means our host receives your IP address and the usual details of the request. That is true of every website you visit.
This page also runs Cloudflare Web Analytics. It counts page views and where they came from, without cookies and without building a profile of you. We mention it because you would find it if you looked, and a policy that omits what you can see for yourself is not worth reading.
None of this is connected to the app. Reading this page tells us nothing about what you drew or whether you use Antechamber at all.
If what Antechamber does with information changes, this page changes with it and the date at the top changes too. Where the change is significant, we will say so in the app rather than relying on you to re-read this page.
