Thank you for choosing Telos. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your personal information when you use our app.
Our Privacy Commitment
At Telos, we are committed to protecting your privacy. We prioritize your privacy and data security by:
- Minimizing data collection to only what is necessary for app functionality

- Using industry-standard security practices when data processing is required
- Being transparent about how we handle your information
- Giving you control over your data whenever possible
Data Storage and Processing
We handle different types of data in different ways:
- Local Storage: Most user content including journal entries and goals is primarily stored on your device
- Server Processing: Certain features (such as AI coaching) may require some data to be temporarily processed on our secure servers
- Analytics Data: We collect limited, anonymized usage data to help us improve the app experience
- Error Reporting: When the app encounters problems, diagnostic information may be sent to help us fix issues
We do not sell your personal data to advertisers or third parties.
