Privacy

Last updated: October 14, 2026

This page describes, in plain terms, what data AURA FORGE collects and what we use it for. It covers both this website (auranexus.app) and the AURA FORGE app (Android/iOS).

What we collect on this website

If you join the iOS waitlist, we store only your email, the page language, and the date. We use it exclusively to notify you once the app is available on the App Store. We don't share or sell it to third parties.

What the app collects

To function, the app stores, tied to your account:

This data is stored in Supabase with Row Level Security rules that restrict reads to your own account, except for content you explicitly choose to share publicly in the community.

Location and weather

Country is used to filter community events. City is optional and improves weather fallback for hydration. You can choose a validated city or ask the app to identify it after granting foreground location permission. We store the selected city's approximate centroid with your private profile; we do not store your device's raw GPS coordinate in your account and we do not track location in the background. City searches are sent to Open-Meteo. If you explicitly enable hydration climate adjustment, your current coordinates may be sent to Open-Meteo's weather service, but they are not stored in your account. When you create a community event, that event is tagged with your country so authenticated members can filter and access its country.

Photos

Your progress photos are kept in private storage: nobody else can open them, not even with the link, because every access is signed against your session and expires within an hour. If you choose "this phone only", they never leave your device. They are never posted to the community or shown to other users.

The photos you use for body analysis and meal recognition travel encrypted to the AI provider, get analysed, and are discarded. We only keep a body analysis photo if you turn on "Keep in my progress gallery" in that step; it is then stored like the rest of your progress photos.

Artificial intelligence

The AI features (Aura Companion, body analysis, meal recognition, plan generation) are processed through the APIs of OpenAI and Anthropic (Claude): each request goes to one of them and, if it fails, we retry with the other. We send the content your request needs — including chat messages, in Aura a summary of your day (training, meals, water, sleep, weight, body fat, resting heart rate and mood) and, for the image features, the photo.

Anthropic acts as a processor and does not use that content to train its models; their policy is at anthropic.com/legal/privacy. OpenAI does not use what it receives through its API to train its models and keeps it for up to 30 days for abuse monitoring; their policy is at openai.com/policies/privacy-policy.

Health data from your phone

If you grant permission, the app reads your daily step count from Health Connect (Android) or Health (iOS) to tune your calorie and hydration targets. We only read steps, we never write to those apps, and you can revoke the permission from your system settings at any time.

Third-party services

To run the app we rely on these providers, each with access only to what it needs:

How long we keep your data

We keep your data for as long as your account exists. If you request deletion from Settings > Privacy, you have 7 days to change your mind and cancel; after that your account, your logs and your photos are deleted for good.

Minimum age

AURA FORGE is not directed at children under 14, and sign-up enforces that minimum age. If we find an account belonging to someone younger, we delete it.

What we don't do

Your choices

You can request access, correction or deletion of your data (including removal from the waitlist) by writing to [email protected].
