App Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 13, 2025

otio (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our mobile application ("the App").

Information We Collect
We collect the following data to provide and improve your experience:

  • Email address (used for account creation and login)

  • Emotions you log

  • Contextual notes you write related to emotions

  • Energy levels associated with each emotional log

  • Latest three insights

How We Use Your Information
We use your data to:

  • Maintain secure account access through Google or Apple sign-in authentication

  • Enable core app features like logging emotions and viewing them on the calendar

  • Help you export your data for personal insight or sharing with a healthcare professional (if desired)

  • Send your emotional logs, notes, and energy levels to GPT

    • Use that data to generate trend-based insights, reflection prompts, and encouraging tips

    • All processing is done through our GPT account, and no identifying information, other than what the user includes in their logs, is shared with the AI

We do not use your data for advertising or marketing purposes.

Data Storage and Security
User data is stored in Firebase, a cloud database service provided by Google. While we use Firebase to manage data storage, data is not currently encrypted at rest. However, data is encrypted in transit, as required by Apple’s App Transport Security (ATS) policy. We are working to improve security over time.

Only authorized individuals can access user data. No third parties have access to your data.

You can export your data from within the app, and you can request deletion of your data anytime in your Account View.

Analytics
We do not use third-party analytics tools. We only review basic usage data available through App Store Connect for performance monitoring and improvement.

Children’s Privacy
otio is not intended for children under 13. While anyone may use the app, we do not knowingly collect personal information from users under 13 years of age.

Updates to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the effective date above and notify users as required.
