1. Who we are

ADAPT is operated by Timeground (https://timeground.in). For privacy-related questions or requests, contact us at support@timeground.in or hello@timeground.in.

2. Information we collect

Account information

When you sign in with Google or continue as a guest, we receive identifiers from Firebase Authentication (such as a user ID, and optionally your name and email if you use Google sign-in).

Journal content

You may enter personal reflections including truths you are avoiding, purposes, fears, actions, trust commitments, fear ratings, and check-in notes. This content is stored in Google Cloud Firestore and linked to your account.

AI coaching

When you use the Stoic Coach or Pattern Analysis features, your journal text is sent to our server and processed by Google's Gemini API to generate responses. We do not use your journal content to train public AI models.

Technical data

We may collect standard technical information such as browser type, device type, and approximate usage patterns when analytics cookies are enabled (see our Cookie Policy).

3. How we use your information

• To provide and operate ADAPT (authentication, saving entries, streaks)
• To generate AI coaching and pattern insights you request
• To send optional check-in reminders stored in your entries
• To improve reliability, security, and product experience
• To respond to support and legal requests

4. Legal bases (where applicable)

Depending on your location, we process data based on: performance of our service (providing the app you signed up for), your consent (analytics cookies, optional features), and our legitimate interests (security, abuse prevention, and product improvement).

5. Third-party services

We use trusted providers to run ADAPT:

• Google Firebase — authentication and database hosting
• Google Gemini API — AI-generated coaching and analysis (server-side)
• Vercel — application hosting
• Google Sign-In — optional authentication

These providers process data under their own terms and privacy policies. We configure services to minimize data shared and keep API keys server-side where possible.

6. Data retention

Your journal entries and profile data are kept until you delete them or delete your account. Draft entries may be stored locally in your browser until you complete or clear them. Cookie consent preferences are stored locally on your device.

7. Your rights & choices

Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to:

• Access, correct, or delete your personal data
• Export your journal entries (via in-app access)
• Withdraw consent for non-essential cookies
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Lodge a complaint with a data protection authority

To exercise these rights, email support@timeground.in from the address linked to your account. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

8. Security

We use industry-standard measures including encrypted connections (HTTPS), Firebase security rules, and server-side API keys. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; please use a strong Google account and avoid sharing sensitive credentials.

9. Children

ADAPT is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from children. Contact us if you believe a child has provided personal information.

10. International transfers

Your data may be processed in countries where our service providers operate (including the United States and India). We take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards where required by law.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date. Continued use of ADAPT after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
