Running Slima means other companies are involved. This is all of them, what each one does, and — the part worth reading — whether any of them can see what you write.

Most of these never come near your manuscript. The one that does receives passages, not books, and only when you ask for something that needs them.
| Provider | What it does | Where | Can it see your work? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fly.io | Application servers and the primary database | Tokyo, Japan | Your work is stored on their machines. Nobody there reads it. |
| Cloudflare | CDN and proxy, R2 object storage for media and encrypted backups, plus the page-view and network-error reporting their platform adds at the edge | Global | Media files and backups are stored. The CDN carries static files only. |
| AI model providers | Powers the coach, the beta reader and continuity checking | Varies by provider | Yes — the passage you asked about, not the whole book. Providers keep it briefly for abuse detection and never for training. |
| Stripe | Payments and subscriptions | Global | No. Stripe sees a card and an email address. |
| Discord | Internal alerts to our own team | Global | No. Alerts carry counts and identifiers, never text. |
| Email provider | Account and billing mail | Global | No. |
We list AI providers by category rather than by name, because which models we use is commercially sensitive and some of it is moving to models we train ourselves. If you want to know exactly who they are, write to service@slima.ai and we will tell you. That is your right, not a favour.
Models that run on our own infrastructure are not on this list, because nothing leaves our systems to reach them. We would rather say that plainly than let the shorter list imply otherwise.
When this list changes, the change appears here first.
