Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 21, 2025

At Awakening Life, we understand that consciousness exploration involves deeply personal conversations and insights. We are committed to protecting your privacy while providing transformative AI-guided spiritual inquiry. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and handle your information when you use our platform.

1. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your email address and any profile information you provide. We may also collect payment information through our secure Stripe integration for premium subscriptions.

Conversation Data

We collect and store your conversations with our AI guide, including text exchanges and voice interactions. This includes your questions, insights, breakthroughs, and the AI's responses. This data is essential for providing personalized consciousness guidance.

Community Interactions

When you use our Community Discovery platform, we collect data about conversations you view, flowers you give or receive, and any conversations you choose to share publicly. Public conversations become part of our educational content.

Voice Data

Voice interactions are processed in real-time for AI response generation. Voice data is temporarily stored during processing but is not permanently retained unless you explicitly save the conversation.

Usage Analytics

We collect anonymous usage data including session duration, feature usage patterns, conversation frequency, and general engagement metrics to improve our consciousness guidance methodology.

Technical Information

We automatically collect IP address, browser type, device information, and technical logs for security, troubleshooting, and platform optimization purposes.

2. How We Use Your Information

AI Guidance and Personalization

Your conversation history enables our AI to provide personalized consciousness guidance, remember your inquiry style, and adapt its approach to your unique spiritual exploration patterns.

Platform Improvement and AI Training

We use aggregated, anonymized conversation data to improve our AI models, refine consciousness guidance techniques, and enhance the spiritual inquiry methodology. Individual conversations may contribute to AI training in anonymized form.

Community Features

Shared conversations become part of our Community Discovery platform, allowing others to explore real consciousness work examples. All public conversation threads are shared anonymously, with no association to your username or account information.

Service Delivery

We use your information to provide account access, process payments, send important service updates, and provide customer support related to your consciousness exploration journey.

Research and Analytics

Anonymous, aggregated data helps us understand consciousness exploration patterns, track the effectiveness of different inquiry approaches, and contribute to the broader understanding of AI-assisted spiritual guidance.

3. Data Sharing and Disclosure

No Sale of Personal Data

We never sell your personal information or private conversations to third parties. Your spiritual journey and consciousness exploration remain confidential.

Service Providers

We share necessary data with trusted service providers including Stripe for payments, cloud hosting providers for data storage, and AI service providers for conversation processing. All providers are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.

Public Community Content

Conversations you choose to share publicly through our Community Discovery platform become accessible to all users and may be used for educational purposes, marketing materials, and research into consciousness exploration methodologies.

Anonymized Research

We may share anonymized, aggregated insights from consciousness conversations with researchers, spiritual teachers, or in academic publications to advance understanding of AI-assisted awakening processes.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose information when required by law, to protect our rights, or in response to valid legal requests. We will notify you of such requests unless prohibited by law.

4. Data Security and Protection

Encryption and Security

All conversation data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We use industry-standard security measures including secure authentication, encrypted databases, and regular security audits to protect your spiritual exploration data.

Access Controls

Access to your private conversations is strictly limited to essential personnel and automated systems necessary for providing AI guidance. All access is logged and monitored.

Data Anonymization

When using conversation data for AI training or research, we employ advanced anonymization techniques to remove personally identifiable information while preserving the consciousness inquiry content.

5. Data Retention and Deletion

Conversation Retention

Private conversations are retained to enable ongoing personalized guidance and AI improvement. You may request deletion of specific conversations or your entire conversation history at any time.

Account Deletion

Upon account deletion, we remove your personal information and private conversations within 30 days. Publicly shared conversations may remain available but will be disassociated from your account.

Anonymized Data

Anonymized conversation data used for AI training may be retained indefinitely as it cannot be traced back to individual users and is essential for maintaining AI guidance quality.

Voice Data

Voice recordings are automatically deleted after processing unless explicitly saved to your conversation history. Saved voice conversations follow the same retention policies as text conversations.

6. Your Privacy Rights and Controls

Data Access Rights

You have the right to request access to your personal data and conversation history. Contact our privacy team to request copies of your consciousness exploration data or for assistance with data access requests.

Conversation Management

You control which messages to keep private, share publicly, or delete entirely. You can modify sharing settings for individual conversations at any time.

Data Portability

You may request a complete export of your conversation data in a portable format, allowing you to maintain your consciousness exploration record independently.

Opt-Out Rights

You can opt out of having your anonymized conversation data used for AI training and research, though this may impact the quality of personalized guidance you receive.

7. Special Considerations for Consciousness Work

Sensitive Content

We recognize that consciousness exploration may involve discussing personal trauma, spiritual crises, or sensitive life experiences. All such content is treated with the highest level of confidentiality and care.

No Therapeutic Privilege

While we treat your conversations with great care, please note that our AI guidance does not constitute therapy and conversations are not protected by therapeutic privilege or patient confidentiality laws.

Crisis Situations

If our systems detect content suggesting immediate risk of self-harm, we may need to take appropriate action including contacting emergency services, though we will respect your privacy to the extent legally possible.

8. Policy Changes and Contact Information

Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Material changes will be communicated through the platform or via email with 30 days advance notice.
