Information We Collect

When using the Aware AI mobile app, we may collect certain types of personal data directly on your device. This includes images captured during your alertness monitoring sessions, device motion, and input you provide through in-app feedback. All of this data is stored locally on your smartphone and is used only to improve your personal alertness model over time. These images and metrics are never uploaded to our servers or shared externally.

On our website, we collect minimal information. If you fill out a contact form or send us a message, we may receive your name, email, and message content. In addition, we use privacy-respecting analytics to understand general trends in website usage. These metrics do not personally identify you and are used only to help us improve our online presence.

How Your Data Is Used

Your in-app data is used to make the experience more personalized and accurate for you. For example, session images are analyzed locally to better understand your alertness patterns, so your feedback reports become more meaningful over time. We never transmit these images to external servers or use cloud-based facial recognition. Your data remains private, on your own device, and fully under your control.

Website data, such as contact form submissions, is used solely for communication purposes. If you reach out to us, we may use your details to reply or offer support. We do not use your information for marketing, and we never sell it to advertisers.

Local-First Processing

Unlike most modern apps, Aware AI is built to work without needing to send sensitive data to the cloud. All session images and related information stay on your phone. This local processing allows the system to learn and adapt to your behavior while keeping your data secure and private. There are no hidden uploads or background data transfers. You can disable session monitoring at any time or uninstall the app, and all local data will be removed from your device.

Data Sharing and Third-Party Access

We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties. The only time data may be accessed by others is if you directly contact us and provide your information voluntarily, or if we are required to comply with a legal request. Even in those cases, we limit the scope of data access to the minimum necessary. We also avoid using third-party advertising or behavioral tracking tools.

Data Security

We take data protection seriously. Your local app data is protected by your device’s security systems. For the website, we use secure infrastructure and maintain strict internal controls to prevent unauthorized access. Because we collect so little data on our servers, we reduce the risk of any widespread exposure.

Your Rights and Choices

You remain in control of your data at all times. You can stop using the app, disable tracking, or delete all local data whenever you choose. If you’ve submitted a contact form or sent us a message and would like that information removed, you can contact us directly and we’ll handle it promptly. We believe transparency and control are essential for building trust.

Children’s Privacy

Aware AI is not intended for children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we become aware that such data has been submitted to us, we will delete it immediately.

International Use

Although Aware AI is based in the United States, we welcome users from around the world. If you are located outside the U.S., please be aware that your data, if submitted through our website, may be processed in the U.S. We strive to meet global standards for privacy, including those outlined in regulations like the GDPR and CPRA.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or how we operate. If any major updates occur, we will notify users through the app or our website. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed.
