Introduction

Stay Uplifted ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our mobile application.

Information We Collect

Personal Information You Provide

  • Name and Email: When you join our community membership feature, we collect your full name and email address to enable community features and personalized experiences.
  • Emotional and Personal Content: We collect the feelings, incidents, and personal situations you describe when seeking upliftment. This may include sensitive personal information about your emotional state and life experiences.
  • Content Preferences: We collect your preferences for upliftment sources (Bible, Wise Books, AI-generated content).
  • Feedback: We collect any feedback you provide about the app through our feedback system.
  • Donation Information: When you make voluntary donations, we collect your name (optional), email (optional), donation amount, and payment reference for record-keeping purposes.

Automatically Generated Information

  • Anonymous User IDs: We generate anonymous identifiers to associate your data and enable app functionality without creating permanent accounts.
  • Upliftment Codes: We generate unique codes to efficiently manage and delete your saved content.
  • Timestamps: We record when you create content, join the community, or perform other actions.

Analytics and Usage Data

  • App Usage Analytics: We collect analytics data through Firebase Analytics to understand how users interact with our app, including screen navigation patterns, feature usage, and user flow through the upliftment generation process.
  • Technical Performance Data: We collect technical metadata such as your device platform (iOS/Android), app version, session duration, and error events to improve app performance and stability.
  • User Interaction Analytics: We track interactions with app features including modal usage, settings changes, content sharing actions, and save rates to enhance user experience.

Important:

All analytics data is collected anonymously and cannot be linked to your personal identity. No emotional content or personal descriptions are included in analytics data - only general usage patterns and technical information.

How We Use Your Information

AI-Powered Upliftment Generation

Important:

We send your emotional descriptions and incident details to Google's Gemini AI service to generate personalized upliftment content. We do NOT send your name, email, or any personal identifiers to the AI service - only your emotional content and preferences.

App Functionality

  • Provide personalized emotional support and upliftment guidance
  • Save and manage your upliftment content across devices
  • Enable offline app functionality with local storage
  • Maintain your community membership and preferences
  • Process and record voluntary donations to support app development and maintenance

Data Storage and Security

Local Device Storage

Your data is stored locally on your device using secure AsyncStorage. This enables offline access to previously saved upliftments and provides fast access to your saved content.

Cloud Storage

We use Google Firebase services to store your data in the cloud, including:

  • Your community membership information
  • Your upliftment content and associated emotional data
  • Your feedback submissions
  • Your donation records and payment references

Security Measures

  • All data transmission uses HTTPS encryption
  • Firebase security rules ensure users can only access their own data
  • Anonymous authentication prevents unauthorized access
  • Data isolation prevents users from accessing others' information

Third-Party Services

Google Gemini AI

We use Google's Gemini AI to generate personalized upliftment content. Your emotional descriptions are sent to this service for processing, but no personal identifiers are included.

Google Firebase

We use Firebase for anonymous authentication and cloud data storage. Your data may be stored in Google Cloud servers worldwide.

Firebase Analytics & Google Analytics 4

We use Firebase Analytics powered by Google Analytics 4 to collect anonymized usage data, app performance metrics, and user interaction patterns. This data is processed by Google and helps us understand how users interact with our app to improve functionality and user experience. No personal identifiers or emotional content is shared with these analytics services.

In-App Purchase Processing

We use Apple App Store and Google Play Store's secure in-app purchase systems to process support contributions. When you make a purchase, your payment information is processed directly by Apple or Google and is never stored on our servers. We only receive transaction confirmation and any optional information you provide (name/email) for support records.

Your Privacy Rights

Data Access and Control

  • View Your Data: All your saved content is accessible within the app through the "Saved Contents" section.
  • Delete Your Data: You can delete individual saved items, which removes them from both your device and our cloud storage.
  • Donation Records: Donation records are maintained for record-keeping purposes and cannot be deleted individually, but contain only payment references and optional information you provided.
  • Offline Access: Previously saved upliftments remain accessible when offline through local storage.

Data Limitations

  • We use anonymous authentication, so there are no traditional "accounts" to delete
  • Complete anonymous data deletion is available through the "Delete Anonymous Data" feature in Settings, which removes all your data from our servers and your device
  • Some data may persist in local device storage after app uninstallation

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. We only share data:

  • With Google Gemini AI for content generation (emotional content only, no personal identifiers)
  • With Google Firebase for app functionality and data storage
  • With Firebase Analytics & Google Analytics 4 for anonymous usage analytics and app performance monitoring
  • With Apple and Google for secure in-app purchase processing (transaction confirmation only)
  • When required by law or to protect our legal rights

Anonymous Content Usage

Important: Upliftment content stored on our servers may be used for marketing posts, social media content, website testimonials, and other promotional purposes without any means of linking the content to its original owner. All such usage maintains complete anonymity - no personal identifiers, names, emails, or any information that could identify you will ever be associated with or disclosed alongside your upliftment content. This anonymous usage helps us promote the app's benefits while fully protecting your privacy and identity.

Children's Privacy

Our app does not include age verification mechanisms. If you are under 13 years old, please have a parent or guardian review this privacy policy and use the app with their supervision. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without parental consent.

International Users

If you use our app from outside the United States, your data may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States and other countries where Google operates its services. By using our app, you consent to this transfer.

Data Retention

Server-Side Data Retention

Important: Upliftment content stored on our servers will most likely be automatically deleted after 30 days from the date of creation. This automatic deletion helps us manage server resources and maintain user privacy. This policy applies only to data stored on our cloud servers and does not affect data saved locally on your device.

Local Device Storage

We retain your information locally on your device as long as you use the app. Since we use anonymous authentication, data persists until you manually delete it through the app interface. Local data is not subject to the 30-day server deletion policy and remains accessible to you even after server-side deletion.

General Retention Policy

We do not automatically delete local data after periods of inactivity. Users maintain full control over their locally stored content through the app interface.

Offline Functionality

Our app provides offline access to previously saved upliftments. When you're offline, saved data remains accessible through local storage and syncs to the cloud when connectivity is restored. Generating new upliftments requires an internet connection for AI processing.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. Your continued use of the app after changes constitute acceptance of the updated policy.
