4 AI Processing & Third-Party Services

To generate your personalized affirmation scripts, we send your questionnaire responses to third-party AI providers. These providers process your data strictly to perform the service and are contractually prohibited from using it for any other purpose.

We also use the following third-party services to operate the app:

• Apple App Store — for app distribution, in-app purchases, and subscription management.
• Cloud infrastructure providers — for secure data storage and audio file delivery.
• Analytics tools — to understand aggregate app usage patterns. This data is anonymized and aggregated.
• Crash reporting tools — to identify and fix technical issues. These tools do not receive your affirmation content.

All third-party service providers are bound by data processing agreements and are required to protect your information in accordance with applicable privacy laws.

5 Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. Specifically:

• Account data is retained until you delete your account.
• Generated audio tracks are stored for as long as you maintain an active account, so you can re-listen and re-download at any time.
• Questionnaire responses used for AI generation are retained to allow you to regenerate and refine your tracks. You may delete these at any time from within the app.
• Anonymized usage analytics may be retained for up to 24 months for product improvement purposes.

When you delete your account, we delete or anonymize your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.

6 Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information:

• All data is transmitted using TLS (Transport Layer Security) encryption.
• Data at rest is encrypted using AES-256 encryption.
• Access to personal data is restricted to authorized personnel only.
• We conduct regular security reviews of our systems and infrastructure.

While we take reasonable steps to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
