Legal
Privacy
Policy.
Effective: January 2026
1. Our Commitment
StoicOs builds software for the inner life. We treat your data with the same discretion we would expect for our own. We collect the minimum necessary to operate Virtue Guide, and we do not sell or rent personal information to anyone — ever.
2. Information We Collect
Account information (email, optional name) when you create an account. Usage information (sessions, features used) to improve the app. Conversation content you choose to save to your private journal — encrypted at rest and accessible only to you. We do not collect contacts, location, or device identifiers beyond what is strictly required.
3. How We Use Information
To provide and maintain Virtue Guide; to respond to your support requests; to detect and prevent abuse; and to improve the app over time in aggregate, anonymized ways. We do not use your journal entries to train AI models.
4. AI Conversations
Conversations with the Guide are routed through large language model providers under strict processing agreements. We do not retain conversation transcripts on our servers unless you explicitly save them. Saved content is encrypted on the device and synced via end-to-end encrypted channels.
5. Data Sharing
We share data only with the service providers required to operate the app (hosting, analytics, AI inference) and only under the terms of strict data-processing agreements. We will disclose information when required by law, after careful review.
6. Your Rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your data at any time by writing to ek@stoicos.ai. We honor all rights granted under GDPR, CCPA, and similar regimes — regardless of where you reside.
7. Children
Virtue Guide is intended for users aged 16 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 16.
8. Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be announced in-app and on stoicos.ai/privacy. Continued use of the app after such updates constitutes acceptance.
9. Contact
Questions, requests, or comments may be sent to ek@stoicos.ai. We aim to respond within 7 business days.
