Question 3

How does the AI companion help with recovery?

Accepted Answer

PathClear's AI companion provides 24/7 compassionate support, helps you process cravings and triggers, offers evidence-based coping strategies like CBT techniques and urge surfing, generates personalized insights about your recovery patterns, predicts high-risk periods, and recommends activities to keep you engaged. All conversations are encrypted and anonymized.

Question 4

Is my recovery data private and secure?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. PathClear uses AES-256-GCM encryption (the same standard used by banks) to protect all sensitive data. Your information is anonymized before any AI processing, and we never sell, share, or use your data for advertising. You can also use PathClear anonymously without providing an email address.

Question 5

Can PathClear help prevent relapse?

Accepted Answer

Yes. PathClear uses AI-powered risk prediction to identify your high-risk periods and triggers. It sends early warning alerts, provides a comprehensive craving toolkit with breathing exercises, guided meditation, urge surfing, and thought reframing. The app also helps you build a personal safety plan and suggests healthy activities to replace substance use.

Question 6

Can I delete all my data?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can delete your entire account and all associated data at any time from the app settings. This permanently removes everything from our servers including journal entries, check-ins, AI conversations, activity records, and all personal information.

Question 7

Is PathClear a replacement for professional treatment?

Accepted Answer

No. PathClear is a wellness support tool designed to complement professional addiction treatment, therapy, and programs like AA or NA. It should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you are in crisis, please contact emergency services or a crisis helpline.

Question 8

Does PathClear work offline?

Accepted Answer

PathClear stores data locally on your device so core features like your sobriety counter, craving toolkit exercises, and safety plan are accessible offline. Features that require AI processing (like the companion chat and activity recommendations) need an internet connection.
