App Privacy Policy

Effective Date: April 19, 2026

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

Information We Collect
To provide core app functionality, we collect and store:

Email address (for account creation and login)
Emotions you log
Optional notes you add to emotion logs
Optional energy levels associated with emotion logs
Insights generated for your account

How We Use Your Information
We use your data to:

Maintain secure account access through Apple or Google sign-in
Enable core app features such as emotion logging, calendar history, and reminders
Let you export your data for personal use or sharing (if you choose)
Generate personalized AI insights only when you opt in (see below)

We do not use your data for advertising.

AI Insights and Third-Party AI Services
If you opt in to AI-powered personalized insights, we send relevant emotion-log data (such as emotion labels, energy levels, timestamps, and notes) to our AI processing provider to generate reflections and insights.

We do not send direct identifiers such as your email address to the AI provider for this feature. You can opt in or opt out at any time in Account settings under “use AI for personalized insights.” If you opt out, your data is not sent for AI insight generation.

Data Storage and Security
User data is stored using Google Firebase services.

Data is encrypted in transit.
Sensitive stored app data is protected with AES-256 encryption.
Access is controlled through authentication and database security rules.

You can export your data in the App and can request/delete account data from Account settings. When you delete your account, we delete your account data stored in our app database (for example, data under your app user record in Firebase Realtime Database) as part of the app’s deletion flow.

Analytics
We use Firebase Analytics (GA4) to understand product usage and improve the App.

Analytics events are designed to be privacy-preserving and focus on coarse app activity (for example: screen views, tab selections, sign-in success, and whether optional fields were used). We do not send emotion note text, specific emotion content payloads, or other direct personal identifiers as analytics event parameters.

Analytics data is processed separately from your core account data and follows Google Analytics data handling/retention behavior.

Analytics systems are separate from core app storage. Deleting your account in the app does not automatically guarantee immediate removal of historical analytics events already processed by GA4, and analytics retention/deletion timing is governed by Google Analytics settings and policies.

Children’s Privacy
otio is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

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.
