1. Information We Collect

Stoic Space is committed to ensuring that your personal data remains private. We do not collect any personally identifiable information (PII). However, in order to continually improve the app and optimize user experience, we may collect non-personal data via third-party analytics tools. The types of data we may collect include:

• App Usage Data: This includes information about how users interact with Stoic Space, such as the number of screen views, duration of app usage, navigation within the app, and general interactions with the app’s features.

• Anonymized Data: All the data collected is aggregated and anonymized. This ensures that no data can be used to identify any individual user. The anonymized data helps us improve the functionality and overall user experience of Stoic Space.

2. Use of AI Technology

Stoic Space integrates AI technology to deliver personalized and enhanced features. When you interact with our AI system, your input is securely processed. Neither Stoic Space nor our AI partners retain, store, or use your input for training purposes. All data exchanged between you and the AI system is handled in real-time, ensuring your data is not stored on any servers or databases after the interaction ends.

3. Audio Recordings

Stoic Space includes audio-based features, such as voice input for data entry and transcription. These features are designed to improve accessibility and user convenience. We do not store, save, or archive any audio recordings made during your use of the app. Audio recordings are sent to a third-party AI processor for transcription purposes. We ensure that your data is securely transmitted during this process, and no recordings are retained after transcription.

4. Use of Information

The anonymized and non-personal information we collect serves the following purposes:

• Performance Monitoring: To understand how the app is being used and to monitor app performance, such as load times and user engagement with specific features.

• Feature Enhancements: To inform decisions about new features and functionalities, ensuring that Stoic Space meets the needs and preferences of its users.

• User Experience: To personalize and enhance the overall experience by improving navigation, optimizing performance, and reducing app crashes or bugs.

5. Data Protection and Security

We are committed to maintaining a high level of security to ensure that your data remains protected. The steps we take to safeguard your data include:

• Encryption: All data transferred between your device and Stoic Space’s servers is encrypted using industry-standard protocols (e.g., SSL/TLS) to prevent interception or unauthorized access during transmission.

• Access Control: Only authorized personnel are allowed access to data, and all access is strictly controlled and monitored to ensure security.

• Regular Audits: We conduct regular audits of our security practices to identify and address vulnerabilities.

Although we take all reasonable steps to protect your data, please note that no method of data transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. We strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data but cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Your Rights and Choices

At Stoic Space, we believe in providing users with control over their data. You can manage your privacy settings and opt out of data collection through the following options:

• Google Analytics Opt-Out: If you wish to prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your use of Stoic Space, you can do so by adjusting your device settings or by using Google’s opt-out tools.

• Device Settings: You can control the app’s access to your microphone and other features directly through your device’s privacy settings, allowing you to tailor the app’s permissions to your preferences.

7. Compliance with Global Data Protection Laws

Stoic Space is dedicated to compliance with global privacy and data protection regulations, including but not limited to:

• General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), we are committed to complying with the GDPR. We only process anonymized data, and you have the right to request access to, rectification, or erasure of any data related to you.
