Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 15, 2025

01Introduction

Welcome to Winova ("we," "our," or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our iOS application. By using Winova, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

02Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us when using Winova, including:

Account information — email address and password (if you create an account)
Wins and entries — the daily wins, notes, categories, and moods you log
Streak and activity data — your usage patterns, streaks, and engagement history
Device information — device type, operating system version, and app version for technical support
Purchase history — confirmation of in-app purchases to unlock features

We do not collect location data, contacts, camera access, or any sensitive device permissions beyond what is necessary to operate the app.

03How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

Provide, maintain, and improve the Winova app experience
Display your wins, streaks, and personal growth progress
Sync your data across your devices when signed in
Send you notifications you've opted into (e.g., daily reminders)
Process in-app purchases and manage your purchase history
Respond to your questions and support requests

We do not sell your personal data or use it for targeted advertising.

04Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored securely using Base44, our backend infrastructure provider. We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

05In-App Purchases

Winova offers in-app purchases processed through Apple's App Store. We do not collect or store your payment information — all transactions are handled directly by Apple. For questions about billing, refunds, or purchase history, please refer to Apple's support at apple.com/support.

We may receive confirmation from Apple that a purchase was completed in order to unlock the relevant features in the app.

06Children's Privacy

Winova is available to users of all ages, including children under 13. We are committed to complying with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us at winova.app1@gmail.com and we will promptly delete such information.

07Sharing of Information

We do not share your personal information with third parties except in the following limited circumstances:

Service providers — we use Base44 as our backend infrastructure provider, which processes data on our behalf under strict confidentiality obligations
Legal requirements — if required by law, court order, or governmental authority
Protection of rights — to protect the rights, property, or safety of Winova, our users, or others

### 4. AI Features & Third-Party Processing Winova uses advanced artificial intelligence to provide personalized coaching, voice transcription, and daily goal insights. * AI-Powered Features Winova uses AI to power several features, including: NOVA AI Coach — generates personalised coaching insights based on your wins, streak, goals, and mood data. Voice Journaling — transcribes your spoken journal entries and extracts wins and insights. AI Insights & Recommendations — analyses your win patterns to suggest goals and challenges. Future Self Vision — uses your goals and wins to generate reflective prompts. Third-Party AI Providers & Permission Before any AI feature sends personal app data for processing, Winova asks for your permission in the app. Who receives data: Google Gemini (Google LLC) and/or Anthropic Claude (Anthropic PBC), depending on the AI feature. What is sent: only the content needed for that feature, such as win text, goal text, mood labels, categories, streak counts, recent activity summaries, and voice journal transcripts. We do not send your email address, full name, payment details, or device identifiers to AI providers. Why it is sent: to generate coaching responses, insights, recommendations, goal suggestions, voice journal summaries, and reflective prompts. Provider protections: Where required by privacy law, AI providers process Winova data under applicable contractual data-processing terms and security commitments for the limited purpose of providing AI features. Google's policy: . Anthropic's policy: . Who AI Features Apply To All users (free and premium) have access to AI-powered features including Voice Journaling, NOVA AI Coach suggestions, and basic AI insights. Premium subscribers have access to additional AI features including advanced AI coaching, AI Goal Assistant, and enhanced insights. If you do not grant permission, personal app data is not sent to third-party AI providers and AI features remain inactive or use non-AI fallback suggestions. **Service Providers:** We partner with Google LLC (Google Gemini) and Anthropic PBC (Anthropic Claude) to process AI requests. * **Data Shared:** We only share the minimum content required to generate insights (e.g., your logged win text, goals, current streak, and mood). We NEVER share your name, email address, password, billing information, or device identifiers. * **Model Training:** Your shared data is processed statelessly. Under our enterprise agreements, our AI providers do not save or use your data to train or improve their public machine learning models. * **Your Control:** You can opt-out of AI processing at any time by choosing not to use AI-specific features (such as the NOVA AI Coach or Voice Journal). Your core win-logging data remains completely local and private on our servers.
