AUX ("the App," "we," "us," or "our") is a personal productivity and wellness iOS application. This Privacy Policy describes what data we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and your rights regarding that data. It is written to align with Apple's App Store privacy requirements, App Review Guidelines, and the Google API Services User Data Policy.

If you have questions or concerns, contact us at:

AI Data Transparency — In-App Consent

Before you begin using AUX, a dedicated "Powered by AI" disclosure screen explains that the App processes your information using third-party AI services (Google Gemini, OpenAI, and LiveKit). This screen appears before onboarding — before you enter any personal information — and clearly identifies which services process your data, what types of data are processed, and links to this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service. You must acknowledge this disclosure to proceed. Your consent is recorded with a version number and timestamp so we can re-prompt you if the terms materially change.

Google API Services — Limited Use Disclosure

AUX's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

How AUX Uses Google User Data

AUX requests access to two Google API scopes. Each is used exclusively to provide and improve a specific, prominent, user-facing feature of the App:

  • Google Calendar (calendar.events) — Used solely to provide the App's scheduling feature: AUX reads your existing calendar events to generate conflict-free daily task plans, and writes AUX task events to your calendar so your AI-generated schedule appears alongside your existing commitments.
  • Google Drive (drive.file) — Used solely to provide the App's document feature: AUX creates AI-generated planning documents and goal summaries in your Google Drive so you can access, edit, and share them. This scope only allows access to files created by or opened with AUX — it cannot access your other Drive files.

Google User Data Is Not Used For Any Other Purpose

AUX does not use Google user data for any purpose other than providing and improving the two user-facing features listed above. Specifically, AUX does not use Google user data for:

  • Advertising, including retargeting, personalized advertising, or interest-based advertising
  • Training AI models, machine learning, or data mining unrelated to providing or improving the App's scheduling and document features
  • Surveillance, including tracking or monitoring individuals
  • Credit assessment, lending decisions, or automated decision-making that produces legal effects
  • Selling, renting, or transferring data to third parties, data brokers, or information resellers
  • Any purpose not explicitly described in this Privacy Policy

Data Transfer Restrictions

AUX does not transfer Google user data to third parties except:

Human Access to Google User Data

Our team does not read or access your Google user data unless:

Revoking Google Access

You can revoke AUX's access to your Google account data at any time by visiting your Google Account permissions page and removing AUX. Revoking access will:

1. Data We Collect

We organize the data we collect according to Apple's privacy nutrition label categories. Data marked Optional is collected only if you enable the related feature or integration.

1.1 Contact Info

DataCollectedPurpose
NameYesAccount creation, personalization of AI responses
Email AddressYesAccount creation, authentication, account recovery
Phone NumberOptional (WhatsApp)Linking WhatsApp for messaging features

We do not collect your physical address.

Social Sign-In. You may create an account or log in using Sign in with Apple or Google Sign-In. When you do, we receive your name and email address from the provider to create or access your account. If you use Apple's "Hide My Email" feature, we receive an Apple relay email address instead of your personal email. If you sign in with a social provider using an email that matches an existing account, your social provider will be linked to that account automatically. We store the provider type and a provider-assigned user identifier to enable future sign-in; we do not store your social account password.

1.2 Health & Fitness (HealthKit — Read-Only)

With your explicit permission, we read the following data from Apple HealthKit (read-only — we never write to HealthKit):

DataPurpose

Heart Rate, Resting Heart Rate, HRVRecovery and readiness insights
Sleep Analysis (total, deep, REM, light, quality)Sleep-aware task scheduling
Workouts (type, duration, calories, heart rate, distance)Automatic task verification
Weight & HeightFitness goal context

Health and fitness data powers a primary, user-facing feature of the App: the Health Dashboard screen (accessible from Settings) and a Health card on the home screen. These surfaces display your sleep, activity, recovery, and energy data in real time. Health data also directly informs AI scheduling — adjusting task placement based on sleep quality, energy levels, and recovery state. Health data is used solely to improve your personal health management and productivity within the App. It is never used for advertising, marketing, or data mining. It is never sold to data brokers.

1.3 Location

DataCollectedPurpose

1.8 Audio Data

DataCollectedPurpose

1.13 Data We Do NOT Collect

2. How We Use Your Data

We use the data described above for these purposes:

  1. Account Management — Creating and maintaining your account, authenticating you, and enabling account deletion.
  2. AI-Powered Coaching — Generating personalized coaching responses based on your goals, health data, and conversation history.
  3. Task Generation & Verification — Building daily task plans informed by your energy levels, goals, and progress, and verifying task completion using text proofs you submit.
  4. Scheduling — When you connect your calendar (Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, and/or Outlook), we read your existing events to generate conflict-free task schedules and write task events so your AI-generated plan appears alongside your commitments.
  5. Health & Wellness Insights — Using HealthKit data to power the App's Health Dashboard — a dedicated screen displaying your sleep duration and quality, heart rate and HRV recovery trends, step and calorie counts, recent workouts, and weekly trend charts. Health data also powers a Health card on the home screen showing today's steps, sleep, and AI-predicted energy level. Beyond display, health data informs AI scheduling: sleep data adjusts when cognitively demanding tasks are placed, energy predictions determine task ordering, and workout data auto-verifies fitness goals.
  6. Email & Communication — Drafting emails matching your tone, searching emails, and automating messaging workflows (Gmail, Outlook, Slack, WhatsApp).
  7. Financial Insights — Providing budgeting and financial wellness features (if Plaid connected).
  8. Digital Wellness — Focus sessions and app blocking features via Screen Time / Family Controls (optional).
  9. Push Notifications — Sending task reminders, streak milestones, motivational messages, and energy check-ins.
  10. Voice Companion — Real-time AI voice conversations via LiveKit, with text-to-speech responses from ElevenLabs or Google Cloud TTS.
  11. Knowledge Base — Storing documents, URLs, and notes you upload to improve the relevance of AI coaching responses.
  12. Personalization — Extracting entities and patterns from your interactions to improve AI coaching over time.
  13. Weather-Aware Scheduling — Using your stored home location to fetch weather forecasts and adjust scheduling recommendations.
  14. Content Generation & Social Posting — Drafting social media posts and written content based on your goals, milestones, reflections, and app activity. The App learns your writing voice over time from your approvals, rejections, and edits to improve future drafts. When you connect LinkedIn or X/Twitter, the App can publish approved content directly to those platforms on your behalf.
