Introduction

Welcome to Aegis AI, a globally available iOS app developed and published by individual developer Christophe El Hage. Aegis AI is designed to empower intentional digital living and protect users from attention-exploitative algorithms by providing personal insights into your device usage. This document outlines the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy governing your use of Aegis AI. By downloading or using Aegis AI, you agree to these terms and practices. We’ve structured this policy to be clear and human-readable, so you can understand how the app works, what data it handles, and your rights as a user.

Data Collection

Aegis AI is built with privacy in mind. We minimize the data we collect and do not collect any data that isn’t necessary for the app’s core functionality. Below is what we collect and why:

• Personal Information: When you create an account or sign in, we collect your email address and a unique user identifier. This is used for authentication, linking your subscription across devices, and providing support. We do not collect your name, address, or any other sensitive personal details.
  
  
  

• Screen Time Data: With your permission, Aegis AI uses Apple’s Screen Time API to access information about your device usage (such as app usage durations, number of pickups, etc.). This data stays on your device and is analyzed on-device. Aegis AI does not upload or store your detailed screen time activity on our servers. We only access this data in real-time to generate insights for you and then it remains on your device.
  
  
  

• Subscription and Purchase Data: We generate or receive a subscription status (for example, whether you are a free or premium user) via our partner RevenueCat and Apple’s App Store. This includes a random user ID and subscription expiration dates or flags. We do not receive or store any payment card information – Apple handles all payment processing (see the Refund Policy section below).
  
  
  

• Device and Usage Data (Analytics): To help us improve the app and fix issues, we use Firebase Crashlytics and Google Analytics for basic diagnostics. This means we may collect anonymized or aggregated information such as device model, OS version, and general usage trends (e.g., which features are used most) and crash reports when the app malfunctions. No personal content or specific screen time details are included in these analytics. The data is used solely for debugging and enhancing your experience.
  
  

Important: We do not sell or share any of your data with third parties for marketing or advertising. We collect no behavioral advertising data and we do not track you across apps or websites. The data we collect is strictly for providing and improving Aegis AI’s service to you.

Data Usage

We use the data we collect only for the purposes for which it was collected, as outlined below:

• Providing and Improving the Service: Your screen time data is used to give you immediate, AI-driven insights about your device usage habits. All analysis is done in real-time and (as noted) your raw usage data stays on your device. Your email and user ID are used to log you in securely, keep track of your subscription status (so premium features unlock if you’ve paid), and to provide customer support when you reach out.
  
  
  

• On-Device AI Analysis: Aegis AI leverages on-device AI and the OpenAI API to analyze your screen time patterns and generate helpful suggestions or summaries. We ensure that the prompts (questions or data sent for analysis) and the AI’s responses are not stored on our servers or anywhere outside your device. The use of the OpenAI API is ephemeral – meaning data is processed in memory for the duration of the request and not retained by Aegis AI. (More on OpenAI in Third-Party Services below.)
  
  
  

• Authentication and Sync: If you sign in or create an account, we use your email/credentials to authenticate you and possibly allow syncing your insights or subscription across multiple devices. This info is used only to manage your account and is kept to a minimum needed (just email and an ID).
  
  
  

• Customer Support: Should you contact us for help, we might use your stored information (like your email or app diagnostic data) to troubleshoot issues or answer your questions. We will never ask for more data than needed to help resolve your problem.
  
  
  

• Push Notifications (Functional): If you have enabled push notifications (see Push Notifications section), we use them to send you time-sensitive and relevant alerts within the app’s scope (for example, a focus mode timer going off, or a gentle reminder based on your usage). We do not use notifications for advertising, only for features you’ve signed up to use.
  
  

In all cases, we do not use your data for profiling or advertising. We do not share your personal information or screen time habits with social networks, advertisers, or any outside parties. Any analytics data is strictly for internal use to improve Aegis AI’s performance and reliability.

Third-Party Services

Aegis AI integrates a few trusted third-party services to function smoothly. We carefully choose these providers and ensure they also respect user privacy. Here are the third-party services we use and what for:

• Apple Screen Time & In-App Purchases: Aegis AI uses Apple’s native APIs for Screen Time data and for handling all purchases. Your screen time information comes via Apple’s Screen Time framework, which requires your permission. This data is governed by Apple’s privacy controls and is considered sensitive; Aegis AI just reads it with your consent and doesn’t send it off-device. For purchases and subscriptions, we rely on Apple’s App Store in-app purchase system. All billing information (like your payment method) is handled by Apple. We never see your credit card, banking info, or any financial details. Apple only provides us with confirmation of purchase and necessary subscription info (such as an anonymous transaction or subscriber ID, and whether your subscription is active).
  
  
  

• RevenueCat (Subscription Management): We use RevenueCat as a backend service to manage and validate subscriptions purchased through the App Store. RevenueCat acts as an intermediary that securely verifies your purchase with Apple and lets us know the result. RevenueCat does not receive any of your payment information; it works off Apple’s receipts. It assigns an anonymous user identifier to track your subscription status across your devices. This helps ensure that when you purchase premium access on one device, Aegis AI recognizes you as a subscriber on your other devices (if you use the same account). RevenueCat’s role is purely to track subscription status and provide us analytics on subscriptions (e.g., active subscriptions count), not to collect personal data. (For more details, you can refer to RevenueCat’s own privacy policy on their website.)
  
  
  

• OpenAI API (AI Processing): Aegis AI integrates with the OpenAI API to power the on-device AI insights and suggestions about your screen time. When you request an analysis (for example, asking why your screen time spiked this week), the app may send a prompt containing summary statistics (not raw personal data) to OpenAI’s servers to generate a helpful response. We do not send personally identifying information in these prompts – typically it might include usage numbers or patterns. We have configured the integration such that OpenAI does not retain these prompts or responses beyond the processing moment. (OpenAI’s standard policy is to automatically delete API data after a short retention period for abuse monitoring, and they do not use it to train their models by default.) The result is returned to your device and shown to you. Neither the prompt nor the response is stored in any database by Aegis AI. They exist only in transient memory for you to view in the app. Additionally, Aegis AI employs OpenAI’s content filtering (moderation) to ensure the AI does not produce disallowed content, but again, none of your data is kept by OpenAI or us in this process.
  
  
  

• Firebase and Google Analytics: To maintain high quality and reliability, Aegis AI uses Google’s Firebase services, including Crashlytics (for crash reporting) and Google Analytics for Firebase (for basic usage analytics). These services may collect non-personal device data (like device model, OS version, and anonymized user interactions) to help us diagnose crashes or understand general app usage (for example, which screens are most visited, how often features are used, etc.). This information helps us prioritize fixes and improvements. The data collected through Firebase is aggregated and does not include content of your screen time or any personal identifiers like your name or email. We have configured these tools to respect privacy: for instance, we might have Analytics in a mode that doesn’t record precise demographics or identifiers. Firebase and Google Analytics operate under Google’s privacy policy, and Google may have access to this diagnostic data for providing us the service, but it cannot use it for any other purpose.
  
  
  

• Other Apple Services (Notifications & Authentication): Aegis AI uses Apple’s Push Notification service (APNs) to deliver notifications (see next section). This means we must send Apple’s servers a device token (a random string that identifies your device for push messages). This token is anonymous and only used to route notifications; it isn’t tied to anything personally identifiable except being associated with your Aegis AI account for delivering messages. If you use “Sign in with Apple” or other Apple-provided authentication methods, those processes are managed by Apple and we receive only the data you choose to share (often just a verified email or an Apple-generated relay email, and a unique ID). Apple’s own privacy policy applies to those features.
  
  

Third-Party Privacy: We ensure that all third-party tools we use either don’t collect personal data at all or have robust privacy protections. We do not share your information with any third party except as described above, and we don’t allow third parties to use the data for their own purposes. For transparency, here are links to key third-party privacy policies:

• Apple Privacy Policy: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/
  
  

• OpenAI API Data Usage Policies: https://openai.com/policies/api-data-usage-policies
  
  

• RevenueCat Privacy Policy: https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy
  
  

• Google (Firebase) Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

By using Aegis AI, you also agree to the privacy terms of these providers insofar as they apply to providing the Aegis AI service. We will promptly update you if we add or change any major third-party integrations that affect your data.

Push Notifications

Aegis AI uses in-app push notifications as an essential part of its core functionality. These notifications are designed to enhance your experience and help you stay intentional about your device use. For example, Aegis AI might send:

• Focus Mode Alerts: Reminders or alarms when a focus timer you set is complete (to gently let you know your set focus/break period is over).
  
  
  

• Usage Insights & Advice: Periodic, context-sensitive tips or nudges (e.g., “You’ve been focused for 60 minutes, great job!” or “It’s getting late, consider winding down your screen time”).
  
  
  

• Important Account Notices: In rare cases, we might need to alert you about something crucial to the app’s operation, like changes in terms or an important update. (We do not currently send any marketing or promotional messages, and if we ever decide to, we will obtain any necessary consent first.)

All push notifications from Aegis AI are opt-in. When you first install the app, iOS will ask if you allow Aegis AI to send you notifications. If you grant permission, you can always manage or revoke it later in your device’s Settings (under Notifications > Aegis AI). Note that certain features (like focus timers or real-time advice) may not work fully if notifications are disabled, since the app relies on them to deliver timely information even when you’re not actively using the app.

No Third-Party Advertising: These notifications are strictly between Aegis AI and you. We do not use push notifications for any third-party ads or promotions. They’re purely functional and meant to support your journey towards better digital habits.

We respect your preference: if at any time you feel the notifications are too frequent or not useful, you can adjust the frequency or type of notifications in the app settings (if available) or turn them off completely via system settings. The app does not send SMS or emails for such alerts – only push notifications within the app ecosystem.

Refund Policy

Purchases in Aegis AI (such as upgrading to a premium subscription) are made through Apple’s App Store In-App Purchase system. We want to clarify how refunds work:

• App Store Purchases Only: All purchases for Aegis AI are processed exclusively by Apple. We do not offer any separate website purchases or alternative payment methods. This means we, as the developer, do not have access to your payment details and we cannot directly charge or refund you outside of Apple’s system.
  
  
  

• Apple’s Refund Process: If you are unsatisfied with Aegis AI or have an issue with a purchase (for example, you accidentally bought a subscription or it isn’t functioning as expected), you will need to request a refund through Apple. Apple generally allows users to request refunds for in-app purchases by using the “Report a Problem” tool or contacting Apple Support. Typically, refund requests should be made within 30 days of the purchase (Apple’s policies may vary by region, but 30 days is a common window for digital content refunds to be considered).
  
  
  

• How to Request a Refund: On your device or computer, you can visit reportaproblem.apple.com and sign in with your Apple ID. Find the purchase in question (e.g., Aegis AI subscription) and select “Request a refund,” then provide a reason and submit. Apple usually processes refund decisions and, if approved, will return the money to your payment method. It may take a few days to see the refund, and in some cases up to 30 days for the credit to appear on your statement depending on your payment method.
  
  
  

• No Developer-Controlled Refunds: Because all transactions are handled by Apple, Aegis AI’s developer cannot issue a refund directly (we literally don’t have your payment info to do so). Therefore, please use Apple’s channels for any refund. We’re happy to assist in providing any information you might need for the request (for example, if Apple asks for developer confirmation), but the final decision and processing are done by Apple.
  
  
  

• Subscription Cancellations: If you simply wish to cancel future charges (like stopping a subscription from renewing), you can do so in your device’s Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions and select Aegis AI to cancel. You will continue to have premium access for any remaining period you’ve paid for, and then it will not renew. Canceling a subscription to avoid future charges is different from a refund (which returns money already paid). If you cancel, you generally won’t be charged further, but past charges aren’t refunded unless you separately request a refund as above.
  
  

We adhere to Apple’s App Store policies for all refunds and returns. If you have any trouble with the refund process, you can reach out to our support at contact@getaegis.co – while we can’t refund you directly, we can guide you on the steps or provide any necessary support information.

Security

Your data security is extremely important to us. We take a number of measures to protect the information you entrust to Aegis AI:

• On-Device Processing: Wherever possible, we process data on your iPhone itself. Your detailed screen time logs and analysis are handled within the app and not continually sent to a server. By minimizing data leaving your device, we reduce exposure to potential breaches.
  
  
  

• Encrypted Transmission: When any data does need to travel – for example, your email and password during login, or the summary statistics sent to OpenAI’s API for analysis – it is always sent over secure, encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS). This means the data is encrypted in transit so that no one can intercept and read it.
  
  
  

• Minimal Storage & Encryption at Rest: The small amount of personal data we do store (like your email or auth token, and subscription status) is kept in secure cloud databases with strong protections. We use reputable services (such as Firebase or other cloud providers) that encrypt data at rest. Access to these databases is strictly limited to the developer and authorized service processes, and protected by authentication and keys. In other words, even within our system, only essential operations can read your data, and we design things so that we store as little as necessary.
  
  
  

• No Sensitive Data Stored: We deliberately do not store highly sensitive personal data. We don’t have things like your financial info, private messages, or detailed usage history sitting on servers. This “data minimization” approach means even in the unlikely event of a security incident, there’s very little personal information that could be exposed.
  
  
  

• Access Controls: Developer access to any systems that contain user data is tightly controlled. As an individual developer, Christophe El Hage is the primary person with access to the backend. Administrative access is protected by strong passwords, two-factor authentication, and other best practices to prevent unauthorized entry. We do not share or outsource data access to any unknown parties.
  
  
  

• Testing and Updates: We regularly update Aegis AI with security patches and improvements. By keeping the app up-to-date, we ensure it has the latest protections. We also follow Apple’s guidelines for security and privacy when developing features (for instance, using keychain for any sensitive tokens and leveraging iOS secure frameworks).
  
  
  

• Data Retention and Deletion: We only retain personal data for as long as necessary to serve you. If you delete your account or request us to delete your data (see Compliance & User Rights below for how to do that), we will promptly remove your personal information (like email and any associated identifiers) from our systems, except for data we are required to keep by law (for example, records of transactions for accounting or legal compliance, which Apple mostly handles). Backups or logs are also purged periodically. Users can delete their account and all associated data directly through the Aegis AI app. Account deletion is immediate and permanent, encompassing both cloud-stored data (Firestore) and local device data (UserDefaults). Once confirmed, this action cannot be reversed, and all associated data will be irretrievably deleted.
  
  
  

• Push Notification Privacy: The push notification tokens and messages are handled securely via Apple’s system. Notification content is generally generic (like “Time’s up for your focus session!”) and does not include sensitive personal data. We treat any data related to notifications (such as scheduling info) with the same care as other data.
  
  
  

• Third-Party Security: We rely on established third-party services (Apple, Google Firebase, RevenueCat, OpenAI) that are known to have strong security practices and compliance. Each of these companies invests heavily in security at their data centers and for their APIs. We choose industry-standard solutions so that we’re not rolling our own (potentially weaker) security. For instance, by using Apple’s sign-in and purchase systems, we inherit Apple’s robust security for those processes.

While we do our best to protect your data, it’s important to note that no app or service can guarantee 100% security. You also play a role in keeping your account secure: use a strong unique password if applicable, do not share your login details, and keep your device secure (e.g., use a passcode/Face ID and only install apps from trusted sources like the App Store). If you suspect any security issue or have concerns about the safety of your data in Aegis AI, please contact us immediately at contact@getaegis.co. We will respond as quickly as possible to address the issue.

End User License Agreement (EULA)

This section outlines the terms of the license granted to you for using the Aegis AI app and the rules you agree to follow when using the app.

• License Grant: Aegis AI is licensed, not sold, to you. We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use Aegis AI on your devices for personal, non-commercial use, in accordance with these Terms. This means you can use the app for your own purposes, but you don’t own the app or any of its intellectual property.
  
  

• Intellectual Property: All content, features, and code in Aegis AI (except your own data) are the property of Christophe El Hage (or our licensors). This includes the app’s name, logo, design, text, graphics, and the AI models or analyses (excluding the raw screen time data which is yours). You agree not to copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works based on our app’s content without permission. Using Aegis AI doesn’t give you ownership of any intellectual property rights in the app or content you access (other than content that is yours).
  
  
  

• User Responsibilities: By using Aegis AI, you agree to use it in a lawful and responsible manner. This includes:
  
  
  

  • No Misuse: You will not use Aegis AI to violate any laws or regulations. You will not attempt to hack, reverse engineer, decompile, or interfere with the app’s normal operation or security. For example, you won’t try to break into our servers, extract source code, or use automated scripts to scrape data from the app.
    
    
    

  • Respectful Use: You will not use Aegis AI in a way that could harm others or the service. This means you shouldn’t attempt to use the app to harass, defraud, or misleadingly represent information. Also, do not use any AI outputs in harmful or unlawful ways.
    
    
    

  • Age Requirement: You affirm that you are old enough to use the app under your local laws (Aegis AI is not intended for very young children; if you are under 13, or the minimum age in your jurisdiction, you should not use the app without parental consent and supervision). If you are a parent or guardian using Aegis AI to help manage a child’s screen time, you agree to supervise the child’s use of the app and ensure compliance with these terms.
    
    
    

• Updates and Changes: We may provide app updates or patches through the App Store to improve functionality, fix bugs, or enhance security. These Terms will apply to any updates that aren’t accompanied by a separate license. We reserve the right to modify or discontinue (temporarily or permanently) the app or any features at any time with or without notice. We will not be liable to you or any third party for such modifications or discontinuation, but if it significantly affects your paid subscription, we’ll strive to make it right (for example, not charging further or offering pro-rated refunds through Apple if warranted).
  
  

• Termination: This license is effective until either you or we terminate it. You may terminate it at any time by deleting the app (and, if applicable, closing your account by contacting us). We may terminate or suspend your access if you materially breach these terms, engage in fraud or misconduct, or if we are required to by law. Upon termination, you must stop using the app and destroy any copies of it. Sections of these terms that by their nature should survive termination (like disclaimers of warranties, limitation of liability, and governing law) will continue to apply.
  
  
  

• Disclaimer of Warranties: Aegis AI is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. While we aim for a high-quality, useful service, we cannot promise that the app will be perfect. We do not guarantee that Aegis AI will always be available, uninterrupted, error-free, or meet your expectations. For example, the AI insights are intended to be helpful, but we don’t guarantee any particular outcome in your behavior or device usage. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim any warranties (express or implied) of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. You use the app at your own risk.
  
  

• Limitation of Liability: To the extent allowed by applicable law, Christophe El Hage (the developer of Aegis AI) shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, use, or goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from (a) your access to or use of (or inability to use) Aegis AI; (b) any conduct or content of any third party within the app; or (c) unauthorized access, use, or alteration of your transmissions or data. In no event will our total liability for all claims relating to Aegis AI exceed the amount you paid to Apple for the app or in-app subscription in the past 6 months (if anything). We understand some jurisdictions do not allow certain liability exclusions, so some of these limitations may not apply to you. We don’t intend to exclude liability for gross negligence, fraud, or intentional misconduct, or any liability that cannot be excluded under law.
  
  

• Indemnification: (In simple terms, this means if your actions cause us legal trouble, you agree to help defend us.) You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Christophe El Hage and any affiliates or partners from any claims, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including legal fees) arising out of your use of Aegis AI, your violation of these terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party. We will notify you of any such claim and cooperate in your defense, but we reserve the right to handle it if you don’t.
  
  

• Governing Law and Disputes: These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United Kingdom (as the developer is based there), unless local law where you reside requires otherwise. Any disputes that we cannot resolve amicably shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in the UK, unless applicable law says you are entitled to resolve in your home jurisdiction. However, we hope to resolve any issues in a friendly manner – please reach out to contact@getaegis.co if you have any concern or dispute, and we’ll do our best to address it.
  
  

• No Waiver: If we don’t enforce a part of these terms at any given time, it doesn’t mean we waive our right to enforce it later.
  
  

• Severability: If any provision of these terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the rest of the terms will remain in effect.
  
  

• Entire Agreement: These Terms (along with the Privacy Policy section and any additional guidelines or policies we post) form the entire agreement between you and us regarding Aegis AI, superseding any prior agreements. No verbal or written statements from our side (support emails, etc.) override these terms unless we officially amend the terms.

By using Aegis AI, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to this End User License Agreement. If you don’t agree, please do not use the app.

Compliance & User Rights (GDPR, CCPA, etc.)

We recognize that users around the world care about their privacy rights and data protection laws, such as the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California’s Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Aegis AI is committed to complying with applicable privacy laws and ensuring that you can exercise your rights.

Lawful Bases (GDPR): If you are in a region like the EU/UK that requires a legal basis for processing personal data, know that we only process your data on lawful grounds. Typically, the bases we rely on are:

• Performance of a Contract: We process your data to provide the service you signed up for (e.g., using your email to create an account and give you access, using your screen time data to deliver insights as the app’s core function).
  
  

• Consent: For certain things like accessing Screen Time data or sending push notifications, we ask your consent (for example, through iOS permission dialogs). You have the right to withdraw this consent at any time (for instance, you can revoke notification permissions or Screen Time permissions in Settings), though doing so might limit features.
  
  

• Legitimate Interests: We may process some data for our legitimate interests – for example, using crash logs to improve app stability is in our (and your) interests to have a working app. When we rely on this basis, we ensure it does not override your fundamental rights and interests.
  
  

Your Privacy Rights: Regardless of where you live, we want you to have control over your data. Subject to applicable law, you may have the following rights:

• Right to Access: You can request a copy of the personal data we have about you. For Aegis AI, that’s typically limited to your account info (like email and subscription status) and possibly some diagnostic logs. To delete your data, please use the in-app Delete My Account feature available in Settings as the primary and simplest method for data removal. If you encounter any issues with the in-app deletion, you may contact us via email at contact@getaegis.co as a backup method.
  
  

• Right to Rectification: If any personal information we have is incorrect or outdated (for example, you changed your email), you have the right to correct it. You can usually update info in-app or by contacting us.
  
  

• Right to Erasure: You can ask us to delete your personal data. This is sometimes called the “right to be forgotten.” For example, if you stop using Aegis AI, you can request that we delete your account and any associated info we have. (Keep in mind, we might retain some minimal data as required for legal/financial records, but we’ll inform you if so. You also have the right to delete your account and all associated data directly within the app. To exercise this right, simply go to Settings > Delete My Account. No additional steps beyond confirmation are required. Please be aware this action is immediate and permanent.
  
  

• Right to Restrict or Object: You can ask us to stop using your data in certain ways. For instance, you might object to us processing data for analytics – in such case, you could disable analytics tracking in the app if available, or we will honor your request by turning off analytics for your account if possible. You can also opt out of any future marketing (though we’re not sending any marketing communications currently).
  
  

• Right to Data Portability: If applicable, you can request your data in a common format. Given the minimal data we have, this might simply be an export of your account details or any Screen Time summary we might have processed.
  
  

• Right to Non-Discrimination (CCPA): If you exercise any of your rights under privacy laws, we will not discriminate against you. That means we won’t deny you the service or charge you differently just because you made a privacy request.
  
  

• Do Not Sell (CCPA): CCPA grants California residents the right to opt-out of the “sale” of personal data. We do not sell personal data in the first place, so there is no need for an opt-out mechanism. We also don’t share personal data with third parties for those parties’ direct marketing purposes.
  
  

Data Transfers: Aegis AI is available to users around the world. Our servers or service providers (like Apple, Google, OpenAI) may be located in countries different from yours (for example, our systems and OpenAI’s processing might be in the United States or other countries). If you’re using the app from outside those countries, that means your data may be transferred internationally. We rely on standard safeguards for these transfers. For instance, Google and RevenueCat are certified under international frameworks or use standard contractual clauses to ensure adequate protection. By using Aegis AI, you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own, which may have different data protection standards. Rest assured, we take steps to ensure your privacy remains protected to the standards of your home jurisdiction where possible.

Retention: As mentioned in the Security section, we keep your personal data only as long as needed. For example, we keep your email and auth info while your account is active. If you delete the app and do not request deletion, we might still retain your account in case you return, but after prolonged inactivity or upon request, we will purge it. Analytics and crash data are typically aggregated and retained in non-identifiable form to observe long-term trends, but personal elements (like IP addresses if logged, or device identifiers) are either not stored or regularly deleted/anonymized.

Cookies and Tracking: Aegis AI app itself does not use cookies (cookies are mostly for websites). Since Aegis AI is an app, not a web service, we don’t have the usual web tracking. Our website getaegis.co might use basic cookies for its functionality (see the website’s own privacy if applicable), but the app’s data is primarily within the app. We do not embed any social media trackers or ads in our app.

Children’s Privacy: Aegis AI is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are under 13 (or a minor under the laws of your jurisdiction), please do not create an account or submit personal data to us without parent/guardian consent. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child under 13, we will delete that information as soon as possible. Parents or guardians who believe their child may have provided personal data to us can contact us at contact@getaegis.co to request deletion.

Compliance with App Store Policies: We adhere to Apple’s App Store Guidelines and all applicable privacy laws. Apple requires app developers to be transparent about data usage. You can find a summary of Aegis AI’s data practices on our App Store listing in the “App Privacy” section, which reflects what is written here. We also comply with any platform-specific requirements (for example, if using Sign in with Apple, we offer equivalent options if required, etc.).

Changes to These Terms & Policy: We may occasionally update these Terms of Use and Privacy Policy to reflect changes in the app, legal requirements, or improvements in our practices. If we make significant changes, we will notify you through the app (for example, via an in-app notification or message) or via email if appropriate, and we will update the “Effective Date” at the top of this document. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of Aegis AI after a change to the policy implies your acceptance of the updated terms.
