Certain features may use information you provide, including profile information, preferences, mood check-ins, wellness activity, meditation history, astrology information, birth date, birth time, birth location, and prior interactions with the Services to personalize recommendations, AI responses, meditations, content suggestions, and user experience.
By enabling or using personalized AI features, you consent to Ascencious using this information to provide and improve personalized experiences. You may be able to limit or disable certain personalization features through your account settings, if available.

6 Astrology and Birth Chart Data

Ascencious may collect and process astrology-related information, including birth date, birth time, birth location, zodiac sign, birth chart placements, planetary information, astrological interpretations, and related profile data.
Astrology-related features are provided solely for spiritual, reflective, entertainment, lifestyle, and personal-growth purposes. Ascencious does not represent that astrology is scientifically proven, clinically validated, or suitable for making medical, legal, financial, relationship, safety, or other major life decisions.

7 Mood, Wellness, and Check-In Data

Ascencious may allow users to submit mood logs, wellness check-ins, sleep information, stress levels, energy levels, emotional state, lifestyle inputs, journaling-style entries, and similar self-reported wellness information.
This information may be used to provide app functionality, personalize recommendations, improve the Services, generate insights, support AI features, display trends, and enhance user experience. Ascencious does not use this information to diagnose, treat, monitor, cure, prevent, or manage any disease, disorder, condition, or symptom.

8 Chatbot Conversations and AI Interaction Data

If you interact with an AI chatbot or similar feature, Ascencious may collect, store, review, analyze, and process your prompts, responses, chat history, feedback, usage patterns, and related metadata.
We may use this information to provide the chatbot experience, personalize responses, improve the Services, detect abuse, enforce our policies, investigate safety issues, comply with law, and protect users and the platform. Chatbot conversations are not therapy, not privileged, not confidential in the medical or legal sense, and may be reviewed where necessary for safety, compliance, moderation, enforcement, or operational purposes.

9 Automated Processing and Profiling

We use automated systems to process certain information and generate inferences, including to calculate wellness and energy insights, identify trends, personalize content and recommendations, power AI features, and detect fraud and abuse. This automated processing is used to operate, secure, and improve the Services and to personalize your experience. It is not used to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you. Where applicable law gives you a right to opt out of certain profiling, you may contact us at info@ascencious.com.

10 Sensitive Information

Some information you provide may be treated as sensitive under applicable privacy laws, including your birth date, birth time, birth location, and self-reported mood, wellness, and emotional-state information. We use sensitive information only to provide and personalize the features you choose to use and for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, and we do not sell your sensitive information.
Where applicable law requires consent to process sensitive information, you provide that consent by choosing to use the relevant features, and you may withdraw it by discontinuing those features or by contacting us at info@ascencious.com. You may also ask us to limit the use of your sensitive personal information as described in our U.S. State Privacy Rights section.

11 Community Review, Moderation, and Account Monitoring

Because Ascencious includes social and community features, platform safety requires moderation and account review. By using the Services, you acknowledge that we may, for safety, compliance, abuse-prevention, trust-and-safety, and operational purposes:
  • (i)review posts, comments, uploads, profile information, usernames, and account activity;
  • (ii)access content submitted to community spaces or otherwise made available through the Services;
  • (iii)investigate complaints, reports, and suspected misconduct;
  • (iv)review direct or semi-private platform communications where necessary to enforce our Terms, investigate abuse, protect users, or comply with law;
  • (v)remove, restrict, de-prioritize, or preserve content;
  • (vi)suspend or terminate accounts.
We do not guarantee continuous active monitoring of all activity, but we reserve the right to review content and accounts to maintain user safety and platform integrity.

12 Direct Messages and Private Communications

Ascencious may provide direct messaging, semi-private communication, practitioner messaging, group messaging, or similar communication tools. These communications are not medical, therapeutic, privileged, legally confidential, or protected by any professional-client relationship.
Ascencious may access, review, preserve, or disclose messages and related account information where reasonably necessary for safety, moderation, abuse prevention, legal compliance, dispute resolution, enforcement, fraud prevention, or protection of users and the platform.

Users should not share information through messages that they would not want reviewed by Ascencious or disclosed as permitted by these Terms and the Privacy Policy.

13 Practitioner-Related Privacy Notice

If you interact with practitioners, coaches, guides, facilitators, or similar users on the platform, information you choose to share may be visible to that practitioner and to Ascencious personnel or vendors who support the platform. We may use practitioner-related information to:
  • (i)facilitate access and scheduling;
  • (ii)provide communication tools;
  • (iii)investigate safety issues;
  • (iv)enforce platform rules;
  • (v)maintain records relevant to disputes or legal obligations.
Ascencious does not represent that practitioner communications are privileged, confidential in the legal sense, or protected by therapist-patient, physician-patient, or similar evidentiary privileges unless explicitly stated in a separate written agreement.

14 Cookies and Similar Technologies

We and our service providers may use cookies, SDKs, pixels, tags, local storage, and similar technologies to:
  • (i)keep users logged in;
  • (ii)remember preferences;
  • (iii)analyze traffic and performance;
  • (iv)understand campaign effectiveness;
  • (v)personalize content;
  • (vi)secure the Services;
  • (vii)detect fraud and abuse.
You may be able to manage certain cookie preferences through your browser or device settings. Disabling certain technologies may affect functionality.

15 Tracking Technologies, Advertising, and Your Choices

The Services use cookies, web beacons, pixels, tags, software development kits, and similar tracking technologies, including the Meta Pixel and Google Analytics. These technologies may automatically collect information about your device and your activity, including pages and content viewed, links and buttons clicked, time spent, referring sources, and other usage and browsing activity, and may associate that activity with identifiers over time and across services.
We use these technologies, and we permit our analytics and advertising partners to use them, to measure and analyze use of the Services, to operate and improve the Services, and to deliver and measure advertising. Information collected through these technologies may be shared with our partners, including Google, Meta, and other advertising partners, and may be used for analytics and for targeted or cross-context behavioral advertising. Under some privacy laws, this activity may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information.
By accessing or using the Services, you expressly consent to the use of these technologies and to the collection, recording, use, and disclosure of the information described above by us and by our analytics and advertising partners, including Google and Meta. You authorize these partners to collect and process this information as service providers acting on our behalf and as parties to your interactions with the Services. You agree that no communication or activity is intercepted, recorded, or collected without your consent, which you provide by using the Services as described in this Privacy Policy.
To opt out of marketing and advertising tracking, email us at info@ascencious.com. You may also manage cookies and tracking through your browser and device settings, and we honor recognized opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, where required by law. To opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, or to limit the use of your sensitive personal information, email info@ascencious.com with your request.

16 When We Disclose Information

We do not sell personal information in the ordinary colloquial sense for cash unless expressly stated otherwise. However, some privacy laws define “sale” and “sharing” broadly enough that certain analytics, advertising, or cross-context behavioral advertising arrangements may qualify depending on how the Services are configured. California law gives users the right to opt out of sales and certain sharing uses where applicable.
We may disclose personal information to:
  • (a)Service Providers and Contractors
Such as:
  • (i)cloud hosting providers;

When you choose to engage with practitioner features, social features, or public or semi-public community areas, your information and content may be disclosed to practitioners and other users in accordance with the settings and functionality of the Services.

When you ask us to share information or consent to a specific disclosure.

17 De-Identified and Aggregated Information

We may create de-identified or aggregated information that does not reasonably identify you, and we may use and disclose such information for any lawful purpose, including analytics, research, product development, security, and marketing. We will maintain and use de-identified information in de-identified form and will not attempt to re-identify it except as permitted by law.

18 Public, Semi-Public, and User-Submitted Content

Any information you post in public or community-facing areas may be visible to others and may be copied, captured, reposted, or retained by third parties. Do not submit information in public or community areas that you do not want others to see or use.
Even if you later delete content, cached, archived, quoted, or reshared versions may remain visible.

19 Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to:

20 Account Deletion and Data Retention

Users may request deletion of their account through available in-app tools or by contacting Ascencious at info@ascencious.com. Deleting an account may remove or disable access to certain account information, profile information, content, and features.
Ascencious may retain certain information after account deletion where reasonably necessary for legal compliance, tax and accounting obligations, fraud prevention, safety enforcement, dispute resolution, backup retention, security, moderation records, or legitimate business purposes.

Some public, shared, cached, backed-up, quoted, or previously distributed content may not be fully removable after deletion.

21 Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. These safeguards include limiting access to personal information to personnel and service providers who need it to perform their functions. However, no internet-based platform, storage system, or transmission method is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security. You use the Services and transmit information at your own risk.

22 Security Incidents and Breach Notices

Ascencious uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no platform, app, transmission method, or storage system is completely secure.
If Ascencious becomes aware of a security incident involving personal information, we may investigate, take appropriate remedial measures, notify affected users, notify regulators, or take other action as required by applicable law.

26 California Notice at Collection

At or before the time of collection, California law requires notice of categories of personal information collected and the purposes for which they are used. The categories and purposes listed in Sections 2 and 4 of this Privacy Policy are intended to serve as that notice to California residents, as applicable.

27 Children’s Privacy

The Services are intended for users age 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will delete that information and disable the associated account. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to us, contact us at info@ascencious.com.

Users between 13 and the age of majority may use the Services only with the consent of a parent or legal guardian. Where this Privacy Policy refers to your consent and you are a minor, that consent includes the consent of your parent or legal guardian. A parent or legal guardian of a minor user may contact us at info@ascencious.com to review, correct, or request deletion of the minor’s personal information, or to withdraw consent to its continued collection or use.

28 Third-Party Services and App Stores

Your use of Apple App Store, Google Play, social login providers, analytics tools, payment processors, or third-party links is governed by those third parties’ own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party privacy or security practices that we do not control.
