Ekphanis

Ekphanis is run by Aethereos Ltd. This page says, in plain words, what happens to what you type here.

What you type

Your messages go from this page to our server, which passes them to Anthropic, the company whose AI models Ekphanis is built with. Anthropic runs the conversation on its systems and keeps it there until it is deleted. The first few words of your first message are used as the conversation’s title on Anthropic’s side.

Ekphanis works with public datasets only. There is no upload. Please don’t type personal, patient or confidential information into it.

What stays on your device

Your conversations, the gene lists under each reply, your access code and your display settings are stored in this browser on your device, not in a database of ours. Clearing this site’s data in your browser removes them. Deleting a conversation in the sidebar also asks Anthropic to delete its copy.

The site uses no advertising or analytics cookies.

What our server records

Our server keeps a running log so that we can keep the service working and see what it costs. The log holds: the name attached to the access code used, a reference number for each conversation, the working steps Ekphanis took (such as which dataset it fetched and which gene it looked at), how much computing each conversation used, and any errors. It does not hold the text of your messages or of Ekphanis’s replies. Like any web server, it also records the time and network address of each request.

The free preview is entered with one shared code, so those log entries are not tied to you as a person.

Others involved

Anthropic processes the conversations. Our server is hosted by Railway. The page loads its typefaces from Google Fonts and two small display libraries from jsDelivr, so those services see the request your browser makes, as any website’s host does.
