Confidentiality

Our Commitment

Trust is foundational. AwareFlow™ is designed so that the sounds and signals related to your habits remain on your device. You stay in control of what’s captured, stored, or shared.

We minimize data, avoid identifiers wherever possible, and provide clear opt-in consent for any sensitive features.

Private by Design

• 🔐 No selling or sharing of personal data, ever.
• 🚫 No advertising and no cross-app tracking.
• 🎙️ On-device acoustic detection: audio is processed in real time and never recorded, stored, or uploaded.
• 📝 Reflections, notes, or tags you add are saved locally unless you export them.

For technical details and Apple Privacy Manifest categories, see our Privacy Policy.

Consent & Control

Every sensitive permission is optional, clearly explained, and can be changed at any time.

• 🎤 Microphone — detects short acoustic patterns; audio never leaves the device.
• 🖼️ Photos — used only when you manually select media or export insights.
• 🧲 Bluetooth — optional, for audio accessories; never used for proximity data.
• 🔒 Face ID — optional App Lock for added privacy.
• 🏃 Motion — optional, used for context only; not uploaded.
• 📅 Calendar access — optional contextual awareness for nudges; remains local.
• 📍 Location — optional, used for weather/context and never sent to servers.
• 🗣️ Siri / Live Activities — optional convenience features.
• 🔔 Notifications — gentle reminders you choose to enable; no marketing pushes.

You can change or revoke any permission in Settings → AwareFlow.

What “Confidentiality” Means Here

In clinical settings, confidentiality describes a formal legal and ethical duty. AwareFlow™ is a self-care and awareness tool, not a medical or therapeutic service. Even so, we adopt confidentiality principles by:

• Processing audio locally and storing only minimal metadata.
• Providing clear export controls for anything you choose to share.
• Limiting identifiers unless absolutely necessary for app function.

If you export or share content using Messages, Mail, or other apps, that data becomes governed by those services.

Not Therapy or Medical Advice

AwareFlow™ is not intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent any medical or mental-health condition. If you are in crisis or considering self-harm, contact emergency services or your local hotline immediately.

Limited Disclosures

We will only disclose information:

• When you explicitly choose to export or share it; or
• When required by applicable law, valid legal process, or to protect safety and security.

We cannot and do not disclose audio content because we never collect or store it.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to safeguard local data. On-device processing and optional Face ID App Lock greatly reduce risk by design.

Changes

If these commitments change, we will update this page and revise in-app disclosures.
