Privacy Policy | Simpatica AI

Simpatica AI ("Simpatica," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting the privacy of the people who use our applications. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. It applies to the Simpatica website and our applications, including the New Man App and the Digital Accountability & Recovery System (DARS).

Because our applications support people in recovery, we understand that the information you share with us can be deeply personal. We treat it accordingly and aim to collect only what we need to provide the service.

Information We Collect

Information you provide

Account information. When you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and basic profile information from your Google account. We do not receive your Google password.
Content you create. Journal entries, reflections, assessments, virtue and recovery progress, and other information you enter into the applications.
Payment information. If you subscribe to DARS or make a donation to support the New Man App, payments are processed by our payment provider (Stripe). We do not store your full card number; Stripe handles card data directly.
Communications. Messages you send us (for example, support requests) and related account correspondence.

Information collected automatically

Usage data. Basic information about how you use the applications, such as feature usage and activity timestamps.
Device and DNS activity (DARS). For DARS, which provides digital accountability through DNS-level filtering, we and our filtering provider process information about domains requested by enrolled devices in order to apply filters and generate accountability insights. This is a core function of DARS and is only active for devices you or an accountability partner have enrolled.

How We Use Your Information

To provide, maintain, and improve the applications and their features.
To generate personalized guidance and insights, including content produced with AI-assisted tools.
To enable accountability features you choose to use, such as connecting with a mentor, sponsor, or accountability partner.
To process payments and donations.
To communicate with you about your account, support requests, and service updates.
To protect the security and integrity of the applications.

AI Processing

Some features use AI services (including Google Cloud Vertex AI) to generate writing prompts, reflections, summaries, and other guidance. Content you provide may be sent to these services to produce responses. We do not use your personal content to train third-party foundation models, and our AI providers state that data sent for generation is not used to train their models.

How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only as described below:

Service providers. We use trusted providers to operate the applications, including Supabase (database and authentication), Google (sign-in and AI services), Stripe (payments), and our DNS filtering provider (DARS). These providers process data on our behalf under their own terms and security practices.
Accountability partners. If you choose to connect with a mentor, sponsor, coach, or accountability partner, certain information (such as progress or activity relevant to accountability) may be shared with that person at your direction.
Legal and safety. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our users, the public, or Simpatica.

Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service. You may request deletion of your account and associated personal data (see Your Rights). Some information may be retained where required for legal, accounting, or security purposes.

Data Security

We use administrative and technical safeguards to protect your information, including encryption in transit and access controls. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we work to protect your information and to limit access to it.

Your Rights and Choices

You can access and update much of your account information within the applications.
You can request a copy of your personal data or ask us to delete it by contacting us at hello@simpatica.ai.
You can disconnect Google sign-in or stop using the applications at any time.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under applicable privacy laws. We will honor rights granted to you under those laws.

Children's Privacy

Our applications are intended for adults and are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice.
