Aura · Privacy Policy

Nothing to hand over.

The strongest privacy promise is not a policy, it is an architecture that makes the promise unnecessary. Aura has no account and no server, so there is no history anywhere for anyone to request.

Last updated: July 21, 2026

The short version
1
The App Store label reads Data Not Collected. There is no account, no server and no analytics.
2
We could not identify you if we wanted to. No email, no phone number, no device identifier is ever sent to us.
3
Nothing to subpoena. Because no server ever holds your history, there is no record for anyone to demand from us.
4
The phone itself is locked down too. Face ID or PIN, a decoy PIN, a disguised icon, and notifications that never name the condition.
What we collect

Nothing. Apple defines collecting as transmitting data off the device in a way that lets us or a partner access it. Aura has no account system, no backend, no analytics SDK, no crash reporting and no advertising identifier.

You can check this without trusting us. Put the phone in Airplane Mode: every feature except an App Store purchase works normally, because nothing was ever going anywhere.

Why this matters more here

HIPAA protects information held by healthcare providers and their partners. It does not cover consumer apps, which is how a period tracking app came to be fined by the FTC in 2021 for sharing user data with advertisers. For a stigmatised condition, an app that stores your history on a server is a risk no policy language can remove.

So Aura does not store it on a server. That decision also costs you something, and we would rather say so: there is no cloud backup, so moving to a new phone means exporting your data yourself.

On-device protections
The one thing that touches the network

If you enable the optional weather signal, the app requests a forecast. That request carries a coarse location and nothing about you, your log or your condition. Leave it off and the app makes no network requests at all beyond App Store purchases.

Purchases

Apple handles any purchase. We never see your name, email or card. The app asks Apple whether a valid purchase exists and unlocks accordingly.

Your rights, and why they are simple here

Requests to access, correct, export or delete personal data are usually answered by a company searching its database. We have no database. You hold everything: export it whenever you like, and erase all of it from within the app or by deleting the app.

Children

Aura is intended for adults. It is not directed at children under 13, and because it collects nothing, it holds no data about anyone.
