Privacy Policy
Effective Date: October 10, 2026
1. Introduction
aMind ("we", "our", "us") is a guided cognitive reflection app developed by Franceschi Enterprises. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we handle your information when you use the aMind application.
2. Account Registration (Optional)
Creating an account is optional. You can use aMind without registering. If you choose to create an account, we collect your email address and a password. A confirmation email is sent to verify your address. We do not collect your name or any other personal information during registration.
3. Your Reflection Data Stays on Your Device
All reflection data — including thoughts, emotions, action items, cognitive transformations, habits, distortions, evidence analyses, and concerns — is stored exclusively on your device using on-device storage (SQLite on iOS and Android). This data is never transmitted to our servers or any third party.
4. Limited Analytics We Collect
To understand how aMind is used and to improve it, we collect a small set of app events — for example, when a reflection is started or completed, which screen is opened, or when a reminder is turned on or off. These events are tagged with an anonymous identifier or, if you are signed in, your account identifier, along with basic app and device information such as the app version, operating system and device type. They never include the content of your reflections. We do not use cookies, advertising, or behavioral profiling.
5. Crash and Error Reporting
When the app encounters an error or crash, technical diagnostic information (device model, operating system version, app version, and a stack trace) may be sent to our error reporting provider so we can investigate. This information does not include the content of your reflections.
6. Information You May Choose to Share
When you voluntarily submit feedback through the Help & Support section, the following information is collected:
- Your feedback message
- Feedback type (question, idea, bug, or other)
- Optional email address (only if you provide it)
- Basic device information (platform, OS version, device model, manufacturer, app version)
- An anonymous identifier (a randomly generated UUID stored on your device)
- A timestamp
7. How We Use Information
Feedback is sent by email to our support team at support@amindapp.com and is used solely to understand and respond to your feedback. If you provide an email address, it is used only to reply to you. Analytics and crash data are used solely to improve the app. We do not sell, share, or disclose your information to third parties for marketing purposes.
8. Data Export and Deletion
You can export all your reflection data at any time as a JSON file through the app's settings. To delete your local data, uninstall the app from your device. If you created an account, you can fully delete your account and all associated data from within the app at Settings → Delete Account. The in-app deletion clears your authentication record and on-device reflections. You can also request deletion by contacting us at support@amindapp.com if you prefer.
9. Categories of Third-Party Services
We rely on a small number of service providers to operate aMind. We name them by function rather than by brand:
- Authentication provider — stores your email address and encrypted password if you create an account.
- Analytics provider — receives the limited set of app events described above.
- Error and crash reporting provider — receives diagnostic information if the app encounters an error.
- Email delivery provider — used solely to transmit feedback emails to our support team.
- API hosting provider — hosts the feedback and account-deletion endpoints.
These providers act on our behalf and are bound by their own data protection terms. We do not use advertising, profiling, or data brokerage services of any kind.
10. Children's Privacy
aMind is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected by updating the effective date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
