AYSA

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: April 2026

1. Introduction

AYSA (“Are You Still Alive?”) is a personal safety check-in application operated by AruAI Labs. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use the AYSA mobile application.

By using AYSA, you consent to the data practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the application.

2. Information We Collect

Account Information: Name, email address, and profile photo (via Google OAuth sign-in).

Check-in Data: Daily check-in timestamps, streak history, check-in method (manual, smartwatch, auto).

Trusted Contacts: Names, phone numbers, email addresses, and notification preferences of contacts you designate.

Location Data: GPS coordinates shared with trusted contacts during emergency alerts (only with your explicit opt-in).

Biometric Data: Face ID or fingerprint authentication data is processed locally on your device and never transmitted to our servers.

Vault Documents: Documents, passwords, videos, and notes you store in the Will Vault. All vault content is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before storage.

Activity Data: Step count and accelerometer data from device sensors for smartwatch activity detection.

Device Information: Device type, operating system, app version, and push notification tokens.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information solely to provide and improve AYSA’s safety features:

• Process daily check-ins and maintain streak records

• Send emergency alerts to your trusted contacts when you miss a check-in

• Store and protect your Will Vault documents

• Detect activity via device sensors for auto check-in eligibility

• Send check-in reminders and app notifications

• Process premium feature purchases

4. Third-Party Services

AYSA uses the following third-party services:

Supabase: Database, authentication, and file storage (hosted on AWS infrastructure).

Twilio: WhatsApp, SMS, and voice call notifications to trusted contacts.

Google: OAuth authentication for account sign-in.

Google Play: Payment processing for premium features.

Each third-party service operates under its own privacy policy. We only share the minimum data necessary for each service to function.

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures:

AES-256-GCM encryption for all Will Vault content with random initialization vectors

SHA-256 hashing for PIN storage (PINs are never stored in plaintext)

Hardware-backed storage for encryption keys (iOS Keychain / Android Keystore)

TLS 1.3 for all data in transit

Row Level Security on all database tables (users can only access their own data)

• Biometric authentication processed entirely on-device

6. Data Retention

Account data: Retained until you request account deletion.

Check-in history: Retained for 1 year, then automatically archived.

Vault documents: Retained until account deletion.

Activity logs: Retained for 90 days.

Alert records: Retained for 1 year for safety audit purposes.
