Privacy Policy
THE SHORT VERSION: WE COLLECT WHAT WE NEED TO RUN THE APP AND NOTHING MORE. WE NEVER SELL YOUR INFORMATION. WE NEVER USE WHAT YOU WRITE TO TRAIN AI MODELS. YOU CAN DELETE EVERYTHING PERMANENTLY FROM INSIDE THE APP AT ANY TIME.
1. About This Policy
JayWFoster, LLC (“JayWFoster,” “we,” “us”) is a Florida limited liability company. This policy explains what personal information we collect through the JayWFoster website and mobile apps (the “Service”), how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have.
The Service is offered to users in the United States and is intended for people 18 and older. Our Terms of Service are at jaywfoster.com/terms.
2. What We Collect
2.1 Information you give us
- Account information — your name, email address, and password, or the basic profile information Google or Apple sends us when you sign in with them.
- What you write and record — your Archetypes Indicator interview answers, journal entries, Daily Attunement check-ins and ratings, Own the Morning! routines and progress, Reflection Practices entries, Author Your Story narratives, and anything else you type or record. We call this Your Content.
- Messages to us — what you send when you contact support.
2.2 Information we collect automatically
- Usage information — which features you open, when, and for how long; error reports and performance data.
- Device and connection information — device type and operating system, app version, general location inferred from IP address (city or region, not precise location), and IP address.
2.3 Payment information
Payments are handled by Stripe, or by Apple or Google for in-app purchases. We never receive or store your full card number. We keep a record that a payment was made, what it was for, and the last four digits and card brand, which we need for receipts, refunds, and tax records.
2.4 What we do not collect
We do not collect precise geolocation, contacts, photos, microphone or camera input except where you deliberately record something, biometric identifiers, or information about your browsing on other sites. We do not buy personal information from data brokers.
3. How We Use It
- To run the Service — create your account, generate your reports and responses, save your progress, and remember your settings.
- To take payment, send receipts, send renewal reminders before each charge, and handle refunds.
- To answer you when you contact support.
- To keep the Service secure, prevent fraud and abuse, and fix problems.
- To send you service messages, and marketing messages only if you opted in.
- To meet our legal obligations and to establish or defend legal claims.
We do not use Your Content to build profiles for advertising, and we do not make automated decisions about you that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
4. Artificial Intelligence and Our No-Training Commitment
WE DO NOT USE YOUR CONTENT TO TRAIN, FINE-TUNE, OR DEVELOP ANY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MODEL, OURS OR ANYONE ELSE’S. WE DO NOT SELL YOUR CONTENT, AND WE DO NOT GIVE IT TO ANYONE FOR THEIR OWN MODEL DEVELOPMENT.
To generate your reports and responses, we send Your Content to a third-party AI provider, which processes it on our instructions and returns a result. Under its commercial terms with us, the provider may not use Your Content to train or improve its models, and must keep it confidential. It keeps what we send for a limited period, currently up to 30 days, so that it can check for misuse of its service, and then deletes it, unless it must keep it longer to enforce its usage policy or to comply with the law. Our current AI provider is Anthropic, and we will update this policy when that changes.
We do use aggregate operational figures — how many sessions ran, which features were used, error and response rates — to run and improve the Service. These contain none of Your Content.
If we ever want to change this, we will not apply the change to content you have already given us, and we will not apply it at all unless you separately opt in. Continuing to use the Service will not count as agreement.
5. Who We Share It With
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We have not done so in the past twelve months. We share it only in these situations:
- Service providers who work for us, and only to do that work: hosting and storage, AI processing, payment processing (Stripe), authentication (Google, Apple), email delivery, error monitoring, and analytics. Each is bound by contract to use the information only on our instructions.
- When the law requires it — to comply with a valid subpoena, court order, or legal obligation, or to establish or defend a legal claim. We will notify you unless we are legally prohibited from doing so.
- To prevent serious harm — where we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to prevent imminent physical harm or serious illegal activity.
- In a business transfer — if the business is sold or merged, information transfers with it, subject to this policy and to our no-training commitment in Section 4, which binds any buyer. We will notify you before your information becomes subject to a different policy.
We never share Your Content with advertisers, data brokers, or insurers, and we never share it with another user.
6. Your Choices and Rights
6.1 What you can do in the app, right now
- See your information — Settings → Privacy.
- Correct it — edit your profile in Settings → Account.
- Delete it permanently — Settings → Privacy → Delete My Data, or Settings → Account → Delete Account. See Section 9.
- Withdraw consent to our processing of your Wellness Information — Settings → Privacy → Withdraw Consent. See Section 8.
- Turn off marketing — Settings → Notifications, or the unsubscribe link in any marketing email, or reply STOP to any text.
6.2 Rights under state law
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to know what we collect and why, get a copy in a portable format, correct it, delete it, limit our use of sensitive information, and opt out of sale, targeted advertising, and profiling. We give every user in the United States all of these rights, whatever state you live in, because it is simpler and fairer than sorting people by address.
You can exercise most of these yourself in the app. For anything else, email [email protected]. We will verify your identity by confirming control of your account email, respond within 45 days, and extend that only where the law allows and we tell you why. This is free unless a request is excessive or repetitive. We will never treat you worse for exercising a right — no price difference, no reduced service.
If we refuse a request, we will tell you why, and you may appeal by replying to our response or emailing [email protected] with “Appeal” in the subject. We will decide within 45 days and explain our reasoning.
An authorized agent may make a request for you with your written permission, which we may ask to see.
6.3 Opt-out signals
We honor Global Privacy Control and similar browser signals. Because we do not sell or share personal information for advertising and do not run targeted advertising, there is nothing for these signals to turn off — but we honor them regardless.
6.4 California
The categories of personal information we have collected in the past twelve months are identifiers (name, email, IP address), commercial information (purchase records), internet activity (app usage), coarse location inferred from IP, your account credentials, and — to the extent it is treated as sensitive personal information under California law — the Wellness Information described in Section 8. We collect these from you directly and from your device, for the purposes in Section 3, and retain them as described in Section 9. We disclose them for business purposes only to the service providers listed in Section 5. We do not sell or share personal information, including the personal information of anyone under 16. We use sensitive personal information only to provide the Service you asked for, so the right to limit its use does not restrict anything we do — but you may exercise it, and we will honor it.
7. Security
We encrypt your information in transit and at rest, restrict access to the small number of people who need it, use multi-factor authentication on our own systems, and review access regularly. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a breach affects your information, we will notify you and the relevant authorities as the law requires.
8. Wellness Information
JayWFoster is a general wellness product. It does not diagnose any condition, does not provide treatment or a treatment plan, and does not give medical, psychological, or clinical advice. It offers reflection and self-guided exercises for everyday people. We are not a healthcare provider, and nothing we hold is a medical record.
Even so, some of what you tell us describes how you are feeling. We call that Wellness Information, and we apply the protections in this Section to all of it, for every user, wherever you live.
Some state privacy laws define health information broadly. To the extent any Wellness Information is “consumer health data” under the Washington My Health My Data Act, Nevada SB 370, or any similar law, this Section serves as our consumer health data privacy notice for the purposes of those laws. We publish it as a matter of good practice. Doing so is not an acknowledgment that any particular information is consumer health data, or that any particular law applies to us.
8.1 What Wellness Information we collect, and where it comes from
All of it comes directly from you — we do not obtain it from anyone else, we do not buy it, and we do not infer it from biometric data or from your location:
- Your Daily Attunement check-ins and 1–10 ratings of how you feel.
- Your happiness, gratitude, and satisfaction ratings in ‘Own the Morning!’.
- Your Reflection Practices entries and the practices you create.
- Your ‘Author Your Story’ narratives and ‘Archetypes Indicator’ interview answers, to the extent they describe your mental or emotional state.
8.2 Why we collect it
Only to provide the features you asked for — to generate your reports, adapt a session to how you say you feel, and show you your own progress over time. We do not use Wellness Information for advertising, marketing, profiling, or model training, and we do not use it to make any decision about you.
8.3 Who we share it with
We share Wellness Information only with the service providers who make the feature work — our hosting provider and our AI providers — and only so they can perform that service for us. We do not share it with anyone else. We have never sold it, and we will never sell it. Selling would require your separate written authorization, which we do not intend to ask for.
8.4 Your consent
We ask for your consent before collecting Wellness Information beyond what is necessary to deliver a feature you have asked for, and we ask separately before sharing it. You can withdraw consent at any time at Settings → Privacy → Withdraw Consent, or by emailing [email protected]. Withdrawing consent stops future collection and sharing; it does not undo what has already happened, but you can delete that separately under Section 9.
8.5 Your rights over Wellness Information
You may ask us to confirm whether we hold Wellness Information about you, tell you who we have shared it with, and delete it. You can delete it yourself at any time in the app. If you email us instead, we will act within 30 days and will tell our service providers to delete it as well. If we refuse, you may appeal as described in Section 6.2.
8.6 What we do not do
We do not use geofencing around any health facility. We do not track your location. We do not combine your Wellness Information with information bought from anyone else. And we do not draw clinical conclusions from it — a rating you give us is a rating you gave us, not a finding about you.
9. How Long We Keep It, and How Deletion Works
While your account is open we keep Your Content so the Service works. You can delete it permanently at any time from inside the app. When no fee is paid, Your Content may be removed after 7 days.
When you delete something, we remove it from our live systems immediately, and it is purged from our encrypted backups within 30 days. After that it is gone and cannot be recovered — by you, by us, or by anyone who asks us for it. Export anything you want to keep from the app’s user interface before you delete it.
If you have no subscription and have not signed in for 24 months, we will email you, and if we do not hear back within 30 days we will delete your account and content the same way. A Full Report you purchased is kept available to you unless you delete it.
We keep a small amount of information longer because we have to: payment and tax records (seven years, as required by tax law), records of your consent and of these policy versions, and anything we need to meet a legal obligation, defend a legal claim, or prevent fraud. This never includes Your Content.
10. Cookies and Similar Technologies
On our website we use cookies that are necessary to sign you in and keep your session secure, and a small amount of analytics to understand which pages people use. We do not use advertising cookies, and we do not allow anyone to track you across other websites. You can block cookies in your browser, though sign-in will not work without the necessary ones. In the app we use the equivalent local storage for the same purposes.
11. Children
The Service is for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has given us information, email [email protected] and we will delete it and close the account.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy. For minor changes we will post the update with a new version number and date. For material changes — anything that broadens how we use or share your information — we will give you at least 30 days’ notice by email and in the app before it takes effect, and where the law requires consent we will ask for it rather than assume it. Previous versions are available on request.
13. Contact Us
For privacy requests, email us with “Privacy Request” in the subject line. We respond within 45 days, and within 30 days for requests about Wellness Information.
Version 2026-10-01. Effective October 1, 2026.
