| 10 | +kAIros is an AI goal-coaching app for iOS and Android. It helps you set goals, break them |
| 11 | +into steps, and stay on track with reminders and an AI coach. This policy explains exactly |
| 12 | +what data kAIros processes, where it goes, and the choices you have. It applies to the kAIros |
| 13 | +mobile apps and the kAIros web app. |

| 24 | +## The short version |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +- kAIros is **self-hosted**. Your account and goal data live on a private server operated by |
| 27 | + the controller in **Germany (EU)** — not on a third-party cloud, and never sold to anyone. |
| 28 | +- The **AI coach can run three ways, your choice**: fully **on-device** (nothing leaves your |
| 29 | + phone), on your **own LAN server**, or in the **cloud**. You pick this in Settings → AI Model. |
| 30 | +- Analytics are **anonymous** and self-hosted; there are **no advertising trackers** and we do |
| 31 | + **not** sell your data. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +## What data we process |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +**Account & authentication.** When you sign up we store your email address and an encrypted |
| 36 | +authentication token so you can log in and sync across devices. Authentication runs on our |
| 37 | +self-hosted [Supabase](https://supabase.com/) instance in Germany. |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +**Your goals and app content.** The goals, steps, reminders, categories, habits, check-ins and |
| 40 | +notes you create are stored in that same self-hosted database so they sync between your devices. |
| 41 | +A copy is cached **locally on your device** so the app works offline. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +**AI coaching content.** To generate suggestions, step breakdowns and motivational messages, the |
| 44 | +relevant text (e.g. a goal title and your progress) is sent to the AI backend **you have |
| 45 | +selected**: |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +- **On-device** — the model runs locally on your phone via `llama.rn`. Your text is processed |
| 48 | + entirely on the device and **is not transmitted anywhere**. |
| 49 | +- **LAN server** — your text is sent to a server **you** run on your own network (e.g. LM Studio |
| 50 | + or Ollama). It stays within your own infrastructure. |
| 51 | +- **Cloud** — your text is sent to the cloud model provider you configured (by default |
| 52 | + [Anthropic](https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy)) to produce the response. Once your text |
| 53 | + reaches that provider, **their** privacy policy applies. |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +**Voice input (optional).** If you use voice features, the audio you record is transcribed by the |
| 56 | +speech provider you selected — this can be **on-device/offline** or a cloud transcription service. |
| 57 | +Cloud transcription sends that specific audio clip to the provider; the local recording is removed |
| 58 | +after transcription. |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +**Usage analytics (anonymous).** kAIros uses a **self-hosted [Aptabase](https://aptabase.com/)** |
| 61 | +instance to count anonymous, aggregate events (for example "app opened", "goal created"). These |
| 62 | +events contain **no personal content** and are not linked to your identity or used to track you |
| 63 | +across apps. |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +**Crash & error diagnostics.** To fix bugs, technical error reports (stack traces, device model, |
| 66 | +OS version) may be sent via [Sentry](https://sentry.io/privacy/). These are used solely to |
| 67 | +diagnose crashes and are not used for advertising. |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +**Purchases (if you subscribe).** Premium subscriptions are processed by the app store and by our |
| 70 | +payment processors [RevenueCat](https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy/) and |
| 71 | +[Stripe](https://stripe.com/privacy). They handle your purchase/receipt data; kAIros receives only |
| 72 | +your subscription status, never your card details. |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +## What we do **not** do |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +- We do **not** sell or rent your personal data. |
| 77 | +- We do **not** run advertising or third-party ad/tracking SDKs. |
| 78 | +- We do **not** profile you across other apps or websites. |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +## Data location & retention |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +Account and goal data are stored on a private EU (Germany) server for as long as your account |
| 83 | +exists. Locally cached data lives on your device until you clear it or uninstall. You can clear |
| 84 | +local data any time from **Settings → Clear App Data**. Anonymous analytics are retained only in |
| 85 | +aggregate. |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +## Your choices |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +- **Choose your AI backend** (including fully offline on-device) in **Settings → AI Model**. |
| 90 | +- **Clear local data** in Settings. |
| 91 | +- **Delete your account and associated data** by contacting **inquiry@leinss.xyz**. |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +## Children |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +kAIros is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect data from anyone under the age |
| 96 | +required by your local law. |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +## Your rights (GDPR) |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict and port your personal data, and to object |
| 101 | +to processing (Arts. 15–21 GDPR). To exercise these rights, or to delete your account, contact |
| 102 | +**inquiry@leinss.xyz**. The general [leinss.xyz privacy policy](/privacy) additionally describes |
| 103 | +your GDPR rights and the supervisory authority you may contact. |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +## Changes |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at this URL with a new date. |
