Privacy Policy

We believe your presence data belongs to you. Here's exactly what we collect โ€” and what we don't.

Last Updated: March 26, 2026

The short version: AWARE stores all your personal data (streaks, intentions, usage patterns) locally on your device. We don't have a user account system. We don't sell your data. We don't have advertising. You can delete everything by deleting the app.

1. About This Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to the AWARE: Digital Presence mobile application ("the App") published by Altur ("we," "us," or "our"). This policy explains how we handle information in connection with your use of the App.

By using AWARE, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

2. Information We Collect

AWARE is designed with privacy as a foundation. The App operates almost entirely with local on-device storage. Here is a complete breakdown:

2.1 Data Stored Locally on Your Device

The following data is stored only on your device using local storage (AsyncStorage / device file system). We never transmit this to our servers:

Data Type Purpose Where Stored
Daily presence streak Track your consecutive days of mindful use On-device only
Morning intentions Your daily intention words and entries On-device only
Evening reflections Your end-of-day gratitude/reflection entries On-device only
Interrupt response data Whether you chose presence or scroll On-device only
Notification preferences What times you receive reminders On-device only
App blocking settings Which app categories you've chosen to limit On-device only
Spirit animal assignment Your birth-month-based spirit animal On-device only
Onboarding completion status Whether you've completed initial setup On-device only
Trial start date When your free trial began On-device only

2.2 Data Collected by Third-Party Services

The following third-party services are integrated into AWARE and have their own privacy policies:

RevenueCat (Subscription Management)

AWARE uses RevenueCat to manage in-app subscriptions. When you subscribe, RevenueCat processes:

RevenueCat does not receive your AWARE usage data, streaks, or personal reflections. See RevenueCat's Privacy Policy.

Apple App Store / StoreKit

Purchases are processed through the Apple App Store. Apple handles payment processing and receipt validation per their own privacy policy. We do not receive your payment card information.

Expo / EAS (Build Infrastructure)

AWARE is built with Expo and delivered via EAS (Expo Application Services). Expo may collect device metadata for build and update delivery purposes. See Expo's Privacy Policy.

Community Tree Fund Backend

When displaying the community tree count, the App may make an anonymous request to our backend. This request contains no personally identifiable information โ€” only a request for aggregate community statistics.

3. How We Use Information

We use the limited information we access to:

4. We Do Not Sell Your Data

โœ“ We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your personal data with third parties for advertising or marketing purposes.

AWARE has no advertising SDK. We do not use Google Analytics, Firebase Analytics, Mixpanel, Amplitude, or any behavioral tracking service. Your mindfulness practice is not a product.

5. Data Retention & Deletion

All local data (streaks, reflections, intentions, settings) is stored on your device and retained until you delete the App. When you delete AWARE from your device, all locally stored data is permanently erased.

To delete your data:

We do not maintain server-side user accounts, so there is nothing to request deletion of from our end.

6. Push Notifications

AWARE sends local push notifications (morning intentions, evening reflections, mindful interrupt reminders) entirely from your device โ€” not from our servers. You control notification permissions through iOS Settings โ†’ AWARE โ†’ Notifications. No notification content is transmitted off your device.

7. Children's Privacy

AWARE is rated 4+ and designed for general audiences. We do not knowingly collect any personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has used the App and provided personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.

8. Your Rights (GDPR / CCPA)

Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights regarding your data:

For EU/EEA Residents (GDPR)

Since all AWARE user data is stored locally on your device, you can exercise most of these rights by deleting the App. For any data processed by RevenueCat (subscription data), contact RevenueCat directly or contact us and we will assist.

For California Residents (CCPA)

You have the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to delete it, and the right to opt out of its sale. We do not sell personal information. To exercise your rights, contact us at the email below.

9. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information we handle. All data stored locally on your device is protected by iOS device encryption. Subscription data transmitted to RevenueCat is encrypted in transit using TLS.

No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we are committed to best practices.

10. Third-Party Links

The App may contain links to external websites (such as Altur's website or tree planting partner pages). These external sites have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
