Privacy Policy

Manaso collects the following categories of personal and wellness data: • Account Credentials: Your email address, display name, and authentication provider identifiers collected when you sign up or sign in. • Optional Profile Basics: Date of birth (age), gender, height, and weight that you optionally enter in the app. • In-App Wellness Logs: Mood check-in scores, emotion tags, notes, and guided mindfulness/breathing session logs you record directly in Manaso. • AI Coach Messages: Text messages and prompts you send to the Manaso AI Coach. • Connected Health Metrics: When you explicitly authorize Apple Health (HealthKit) or Google Health Connect, we read steps, distance, active energy burned, exercise minutes, sleep duration and efficiency, resting heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), and workout sessions.

We use the data we collect exclusively to: • Display your daily wellness dashboard, personal baselines, and historical health trends. • Generate personalized AI Daily Briefs and 24/7 AI Coach responses (strictly after you grant explicit in-app AI permission). • Manage your account, authentication, and subscription entitlements (processed via Apple App Store / Google Play and RevenueCat). • Deliver optional local wellness and mindfulness reminders you configure on your device. We do not use your personal or health information for advertising, profiling, or any secondary purpose.

If you connect Apple Health (HealthKit) or supported health platforms, Manaso reads only the specific wellness metrics you explicitly authorize. In strict compliance with Apple HealthKit Developer Guidelines: • HealthKit data is used solely to provide health and wellness insights within Manaso. • We NEVER sell HealthKit data to advertisers, data brokers, or any third party. • We NEVER use HealthKit data for marketing, sponsorship, or behavioral advertising. • HealthKit data is never shared with third parties except as strictly required to provide the AI coaching feature after you grant explicit in-app permission.

Manaso's AI Coach and Daily Brief features are powered by OpenAI, LLC ('OpenAI'). Before any personal or wellness data is transmitted to OpenAI, Manaso displays an explicit in-app consent prompt ('Enable AI Coach') explaining what data is shared and asking for your permission. • What Data Is Sent to OpenAI (Only With Your Permission): Your messages to the AI Coach, authorized health metrics (sleep, steps, resting heart rate, HRV, and workouts), mood check-ins and mindfulness session logs, and non-identifying profile attributes (age, gender, height, and weight). Your name and email address are never sent to OpenAI. • How It Is Used: OpenAI processes this data via encrypted HTTPS API requests solely to generate your personalized Daily Brief and coaching responses. • Equal Protection & No Model Training: OpenAI does not use data submitted via its API to train or improve its foundation models, and is contractually obligated to provide the same or equal protection of your personal data as required under this Privacy Policy and applicable privacy laws. • Withdrawing Permission: If you decline permission, AI features remain off and no data is sent to OpenAI. You can enable or revoke AI data sharing at any time inside the app under Account → AI Data Sharing.

Manaso is a general wellness and lifestyle application, not a medical device or healthcare provider. It does not provide medical diagnosis, clinical treatment, or prescription medication advice. Wellness insights and guided breathing routines reference public-health guidelines from organizations including the World Health Organization (WHO), U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), American Heart Association (AHA), American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which are cited directly within the app under Health Sources & Citations.

You maintain full control and ownership of your personal data: • You can turn off AI data sharing at any time in Account → AI Data Sharing. • You can disconnect Apple Health integration at any time through your iOS Settings app. • You can permanently delete your account and all associated personal data, health metrics, mood logs, and chat history directly within the app under Account → Delete Account, or by emailing us at manasolife@gmail.com. Upon deletion, your records are permanently purged from our active databases.

We implement industry-standard encryption protocols (HTTPS/TLS in transit, encrypted database storage at rest, and secure token storage via iOS Keychain / Android Keystore) and require all third-party service providers to maintain the same or equal level of data protection. Depending on your jurisdiction (including GDPR, CCPA, and India's DPDP Act), you have the right to access, correct, export, withdraw consent for, or erase your personal data.
