Privacy Policy
Last updated: December 2025
Our Commitment to Your Privacy
At Apatheia, we believe that your inner reflections and personal growth journey deserve the highest level of protection. Your philosophical practice is deeply personal, and we treat your data with the same respect and care that the ancient Stoics gave to their own private writings.
Information We Collect
We collect only the information necessary to provide you with a meaningful Stoic practice experience:
- Account Information: Email address for account creation and communication
- Reflection Content: Your written reflections and responses to exercises
- Usage Data: Progress through lessons, streaks, and XP to personalize your experience
- Device Information: Basic device data to ensure the app works correctly
How We Use Your Information
- To provide and personalize your Stoic practice experience
- To enable AI mentor interactions that respond to your reflections
- To track your progress and maintain your streaks
- To send you occasional updates about Apatheia (you can opt out)
- To improve our service and develop new features
Data Security
Your reflections are encrypted both in transit and at rest. We use industry-standard security practices to protect your data. Your private writings are never shared with third parties, used for advertising, or sold to anyone.
AI Processing
When you interact with your Stoic mentor (Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, or Epictetus), your reflections are processed by AI to provide personalized guidance. This data is used solely to generate your mentor's response and is not stored beyond what is necessary for your conversation history.
Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access all data we hold about you
- Export your reflections at any time
- Request deletion of your account and all associated data
- Opt out of marketing communications
- Request correction of any inaccurate data
Cookies and Tracking
We use minimal cookies necessary for the functioning of our website. We do not use advertising trackers or sell your browsing data. Analytics are anonymized and used only to improve the service.
