2. Information We Collect
We collect only the information necessary to provide and improve the Service:
a. Account Information: When you sign in with your Google account or Sign in with Apple, we receive basic profile information (such as your name, email address, and profile picture).
b. User Content: You may create or upload content such as written journal entries, voice recordings, or reflections. This data is stored securely in our cloud infrastructure and used only to deliver the Service's features, such as personalized AI-powered feedback and psychological insights.
c. Sensitive Data: Due to the nature of the Service, your journal entries and voice recordings may contain sensitive personal data, including information about your mental health, emotions, thoughts, beliefs, or personal experiences. We process this data only with your explicit consent, which is requested when you first use the Service, and solely for the purpose of providing personalized AI-driven insights.
d. Analytics Data: We use Google Analytics, Meta Analytics, and AppsFlyer to collect information about app usage (e.g., session duration, device type, interactions, and advertising attribution). This helps us improve the user experience and optimize our marketing efforts.
e. Subscription and Payment Data: All payments are processed securely through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Subscriptions are available on a monthly or annual basis, including applicable free trial periods (7 days for monthly and 14 days for annual plans). Seauton does not collect, process, or store any credit card or payment details. Payment and billing information are handled exclusively by the respective store in accordance with their privacy and security policies.
f. Device Identifiers: Our third-party analytics and advertising partners (Meta, AppsFlyer) may collect device identifiers (such as IDFA) for the purposes of advertising attribution and analytics. On iOS, this data is collected only after you grant permission through the App Tracking Transparency prompt.
3. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
We process your personal data based on the following legal grounds:
Performance of a contract: To provide, operate, and maintain the Service, including managing your account and delivering core features (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR).
Explicit consent: To process sensitive personal data contained in your journal entries and voice recordings, and to provide AI-powered psychological insights (Article 9(2)(a) GDPR). You provide this consent when you first use the journaling features, and you may withdraw it at any time.
Consent: For analytics, advertising attribution, and marketing purposes, including data collected by Meta, AppsFlyer, and Google Analytics (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR).
Legitimate interest: To ensure the security, stability, and performance of the Service, prevent fraud, and improve our product (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).
4. AI-Powered Processing and Profiling
Seauton uses artificial intelligence to analyze your journal entries and voice recordings in order to provide personalized psychological insights, identify thought patterns, and offer feedback. This constitutes automated processing, including profiling, as defined under Article 22 of the GDPR.
This processing is based on your explicit consent and is essential to the Service's core functionality. The AI-generated insights are provided for self-reflection and personal growth purposes only and do not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
You may opt out of AI-powered processing at any time by discontinuing use of the journaling features or by deleting your account. To exercise this right, contact us at seauton.team@gmail.com.
