Privacy Policy

Your privacy is not an afterthought; it is our foundation.

Last Updated: July 21, 2025

1. The Zero-Knowledge Principle

Guardian Angel is built on a 'zero-knowledge' privacy model. This means that your most sensitive personal data—such as entries in your Evidence Locker, Wellness Journal, and My Wishes & Letters—is encrypted on your device using a key derived from your password. We do not have a copy of this key. We cannot access, view, or decrypt your private data. Only you can.

2. Information We Collect

To provide our services, we collect a minimal amount of information: - Account Information: The email address you use to register your account. - Usage Data: Anonymous, aggregated data on feature usage (e.g., how many users access the Panic Attack Aid). This helps us improve the app and contains no personal information.

3. How We Use Your Information

- To create and maintain your account. - To provide customer support. - To improve the functionality and user experience of the app.

4. Data Sharing and the Agency Portal

We will never sell or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes. The Agency Portal is a feature that allows you to share specific, encrypted vaults with verified organisations (e.g., police, support workers). This sharing is based entirely on your explicit, granular, and time-limited consent. You control what is shared, with whom, and for how long. You can revoke access at any time.

5. AI Features and Your Data

When you use an AI-powered feature (e.g., AI Note to Self, Relationship Check), the text you input is sent to our AI service provider for a one-time analysis to generate a response. This data is processed ephemerally and is not stored, logged, or used to train AI models.
