Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 2026
Your privacy matters deeply to us. imotionengine is built on the principle that you own your data, and we go to extraordinary lengths to protect it. This policy explains exactly what we collect, why, and how you stay in control.
1. Who We Are
imotionengine ("we," "us," "our") operates the website and application at www.imotionengine.com. For any privacy questions, contact us at hello@imotionengine.com.
2. What We Collect
Information You Provide
- Account information — email address and display name when you sign up.
- Birth profile — date of birth, and optionally birth time and location, used to generate your cosmic readings.
- Life events — dates, categories, moods, and optional descriptions you add to your timeline.
- Journal entries and notes — personal reflections you write within the app.
- Preferences — theme, engine settings, privacy level, and display options.
Information Collected Automatically
- Analytics — anonymized page views and interactions via Google Analytics (no personal data is linked).
- Technical data — browser type and device info for compatibility (never tied to your identity).
What We Never Collect
- We never sell your data to anyone, ever.
- We never share your personal content with other users.
- We never use your data for advertising or ad targeting.
- We never store payment card details (handled entirely by our payment processor).
3. How We Use Your Data
- To power your experience — generating your spiral, cosmic readings, and engine insights.
- AI features (Brahman AI) — when you use AI features, relevant data is sent to a secure AI service to generate personalized insights. You control exactly what data the AI can see via three privacy levels (see below).
- Cloud sync — keeping your data synchronized across devices.
- To improve the product — anonymized usage patterns help us build better features.
- To communicate with you — account confirmations, support responses, and important updates only.
4. Your AI Privacy Controls
imotionengine gives you granular control over what data the AI can access. You can change your privacy level at any time:
- 🔒 Cosmic Only — AI sees only your birth chart and cosmic cycles. No personal events, notes, or descriptions are ever sent. Maximum privacy.
- 🔓 Enhanced — AI sees cosmic data plus event categories and moods, but never your written descriptions or notes.
- 🔑 Full Access — AI sees everything for the deepest, most personalized insights.
A transparency log in the app shows you exactly what data was sent in every AI interaction — full visibility, always.
5. Data Storage & Security
- Encryption — all data is encrypted in transit (TLS/HTTPS) and at rest.
- Row-level security — database-level policies ensure that only you can access your own data. Even our servers cannot cross-read between users.
- Local-first option — you can use the app without creating an account. Your data stays in your browser's local storage and never touches our servers.
- Secure infrastructure — hosted on industry-leading cloud platforms with enterprise-grade security.
6. Third-Party Services
We use the following trusted services to operate imotionengine:
- Authentication — Google OAuth for secure sign-in (Google receives only what's needed to verify your identity).
- Payment processing — Stripe handles all subscription billing. We never see or store your card details.
- AI processing — Google AI services generate personalized insights. Data sent is controlled by your privacy level setting.
- Bot protection — Cloudflare Turnstile protects forms from abuse (invisible, no user tracking).
- Email — Resend delivers transactional emails (confirmations, support replies).
- Analytics — Google Analytics collects anonymized usage data. No personal information is linked.
7. Cookies & Local Storage
- Authentication cookies — used to keep you signed in. Essential for the app to function.
- Local storage — your spiral data, preferences, and settings are stored locally in your browser for fast access and offline use.
- Analytics cookies — anonymized usage tracking via Google Analytics. You can opt out using browser extensions or settings.
We do not use advertising cookies or any third-party tracking cookies.
8. Your Rights
You have full control over your data:
- Access — view all data stored in your account at any time through the app.
- Correction — edit or update any of your information.
- Deletion — delete your account and all associated data directly from your Profile tab. You can also contact us at hello@imotionengine.com and we will remove everything within 30 days.
- Portability — your data is yours. Contact us to request an export.
- Withdraw consent — change your AI privacy level, disable cloud sync, or delete your account at any time.
9. Children's Privacy
imotionengine is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Significant changes will be communicated via email or a prominent notice in the app. Your continued use of imotionengine after changes constitutes acceptance.
