Security & Privacy

Built for team trust, not workplace surveillance

Mellowe is designed from day one to respect your team's privacy. Here is our simple guarantee:

Never reads private DMs

Mellowe never accesses your private direct messages. In channels where you invite it, the bot only listens for your team's chosen recognition emoji—ignoring all other conversation.

No AI training or data selling

Your team's appreciation notes, feedback, and reflections belong solely to you. We never sell your data or use your messages to train AI models.

Hosted in the EU (Stockholm)

Infrastructure is hosted in AWS EU (Stockholm, Sweden) data centers, keeping all team data in Europe with standard encryption at rest and in transit.

Permanent account deletion

You have full ownership of your data. If you ever decide to remove Mellowe, you can permanently delete your workspace with one confirmation—no hidden retention.

Frequently asked questions

Ask everything you need to know about our products and services.

Are all features really included in the Free Plan?

Yes! Every single feature—peer recognition, custom digital badges, communal milestones, automated celebrations, 1:1 check-ins, 10-second energy pulses, and quarterly reflections—is 100% included on all plans. The Free Plan is completely free forever for teams up to 12 people.

How does billing work when we add or remove team members?

Mellowe uses a zero-surprise, next-cycle active user model. If you start with 20 people and hire new teammates mid-cycle, they get immediate access with no mid-cycle invoices. You will only be billed for the updated headcount when your next billing cycle begins. Likewise, deactivated members are automatically removed from your next bill.

Are 10-second energy pulse surveys truly anonymous?

Yes, 100%. Psychological safety is central to Mellowe. Energy pulse responses are strictly anonymized and aggregated. To prevent any possibility of de-anonymization in small teams, pulse trends and sentiment metrics are only reported when a minimum sample size of 5 or more responses (n ≥ 5) is reached. Individual submissions are never visible to managers, HR, or administrators.

Can HR or managers read voluntary peer feedforward coaching?

Never. Voluntary feedforward is strictly private and confidential between the two peers involved. Authentic growth requires a safe space free from evaluation anxiety, so feedforward prompts, coaching notes, and shared insights cannot be viewed, audited, or accessed by HR, managers, or company leadership.

Does Mellowe read all our private Slack messages?

Absolutely not. Mellowe never accesses your private direct messages. In channels where you invite the bot, it only listens for your team's chosen recognition emoji to award appreciation—ignoring all other messages.

Where is our data stored and is it secure?

Your data is hosted in AWS EU (Stockholm, Sweden) data centers (ISO 27001, SOC 2, and 100% GDPR compliant). Each organization operates in a dedicated, isolated database with automated daily backups. All data is encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3), with bot tokens protected using enterprise envelope encryption.

What if a celebration or milestone falls on a weekend?

Mellowe is built for teams, and we want to make sure everyone is around to celebrate! Any birthdays or work anniversaries falling on a Saturday or Sunday are automatically deferred to Monday morning at 9:00 AM.

What happens if an employee leaves the company?

When an employee is deactivated in Slack, Mellowe automatically updates your active headcount so you aren't billed for them on your next cycle. Their historical recognitions and badges remain safely preserved in your culture analytics.
