Privacy Policy
Your trust and your privacy matter deeply to us. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the control you have over your data.
Last updated: 2026
You are always in control. You can permanently delete all of your data at any time, in one tap, from Settings. When you do, it is erased and cannot be recovered.
1. Who We Are
Aurea is owned and operated by Damian Alan Moses ("we", "us"). This policy describes how we handle information when you use Aurea (the "Service").
2. Information We Collect
Account information — such as your name, email, phone number (if provided), and preferences like age, ethnicity, and cultural background that you choose to share so Aurea can offer culturally-aware support.
Your content — journal entries, mood check-ins, and messages you exchange with the AI companion.
Safety signals — automated assessments of whether content suggests risk of harm, used to surface crisis resources.
Emergency contact — if you choose to add one, so we can help notify them during a detected crisis.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to provide and personalize the Service, generate reflective guidance, detect and respond to safety concerns, maintain your account, and improve reliability. We do not sell your personal information.
4. Sensitive Health Information
Aurea handles emotionally sensitive information. We treat it with heightened care and design the Service to limit access to what is necessary to serve you. Aurea is a self-help tool and is not a HIPAA-covered entity by default; where the Owner works with covered entities or business associates, additional safeguards and agreements would apply. We do not share your content for advertising.
5. AI & Third-Party Processing
To generate reflections and assess safety, relevant content may be processed by trusted third-party AI providers under their data-protection commitments. Uploaded files are stored using secure cloud object storage. These providers process data on our behalf to deliver features you request.
6. Data Retention & One-Tap Deletion
We keep your data only as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. You may permanently delete all of your data at any time from Settings. Deletion is immediate and irreversible.
7. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including encrypted passwords and access controls. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, but we work to keep your information safe.
8. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete your personal information. Aurea's built-in tools let you view your content and delete everything at any time. For other requests, contact the Owner through the Service.
9. Children's Privacy
Aurea is intended to be used by minors only with the involvement and consent of a parent or guardian. We do not knowingly collect data from children in violation of applicable law; guardians may request deletion at any time.
10. Changes & Contact
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the "Last updated" date above. Questions may be directed to the Owner, Damian Alan Moses, through the Service.
