Privacy Policy

bound8 ("bound8", "we", "us") helps people organize life together — whether you are on your own, with a partner, friends, roommates, a family, or a wider circle. You do this inside a shared Space: calendars, tasks, missions, goals, budgets, and updates. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. By using bound8 on the web or mobile, you agree to this policy.

Information we collect

• Account details — your name, email address, password (stored only as a salted hash, never in plain text), and an optional profile photo.
• Space content — the data you and other members of your Space create: calendar events, tasks, projects, missions, rewards, goals, budgets and transactions, posts, messages, and memory capsules.
• Connected calendars — if you link Google Calendar or Apple Calendar, we store the access credentials needed to sync (OAuth tokens for Google; an app-specific password for Apple) and the events synced to or from those calendars.
• Voice and media — when you use the AI assistant by voice, we capture the audio you record. If you add photos (profile pictures, mission proof, or a receipt for the AI assistant to read), we store those images.
• Device and usage data — basic technical information such as app version and error logs used to keep the service running.

How we use your information

• To provide and operate bound8's features for you and your Space.
• To sync events with the calendar services you choose to connect.
• To power the AI assistant — your voice recording is transcribed, and the resulting text (or anything you type or photograph, like a receipt) is interpreted to create events, tasks, reminders, and other actions on your behalf, and to answer questions or generate summaries about your Space.
• To secure accounts, prevent abuse, and fix problems.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your Space content to show you third-party advertising.

AI processing and third parties

To provide the AI assistant, we send information to two AI providers. Google(Gemini) is the primary engine behind the assistant: it transcribes your voice, reads receipt photos you submit, and interprets what you're asking for so it can route your request to the right action (creating an event, adding a task, answering a question, and so on). Anthropic(Claude) generates natural-language summaries and advice — for example, answering "how's my budget doing" or "what's coming up this week."

To understand a request, we send the provider the content from your Space that the request needs — for example calendar events (including attendee names), tasks, goals, and shopping items — along with up to the last 10 turns of your conversation with the assistant (your messages and its replies), so it can follow the thread. Your financial details — transactions (name, amount, and category), budgets, income, and balance — are sent only when your request is about money, and in the weekly email briefing if you turn that on; they are not sent on every interaction.

We send only what a given request needs, and never for advertising. Because we use Google's paid API tier, Google does not use your data to train its models; it retains it only briefly (about 55 days) for security and abuse prevention before deleting it. Anthropic, and the infrastructure and calendar providers we rely on to deliver the features you enable (e.g., Apple), process data under their own terms and privacy policies.

Device permissions

• Microphone — used only while you are speaking to the AI assistant.
• Camera & photos — used only when you choose to set a profile picture or attach a photo.

You can grant or revoke these permissions at any time in your device settings.

Sharing within your Space

bound8 is built for shared use. Content you add to a Space is visible to other members of that Space according to their role. Administrators can manage members, roles, and Space settings. Be mindful of what you share in a shared Space.

Data retention & deletion

We keep your information for as long as your account is active. Items you delete (tasks, events, budget entries, and similar content) are held in a recoverable trash for 7 days, after which they are permanently removed. AI assistant chat history is periodically cleared, generally after about 30 days. We have not yet finalized a retention period for system and security logs; we will update this policy once one is set.

You can delete individual items at any time, leave a Space, or permanently delete your account from Settings (or by contacting us at apexprimusllc@gmail.com). Deleting your account removes your personal data — including your AI chat history, sessions, and personal budget records — right away. Content you contributed to a shared Space (like posts, messages, calendar events, or transactions) is reassigned to a generic "removed member" placeholder rather than deleted outright, so the shared history other members of that Space depend on isn't disrupted. On mobile, Space data cached on your device is removed when you delete the app or sign out.

Security

Passwords are hashed, calendar credentials are stored using secure storage, and access to Space data is restricted to authenticated members. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information using reasonable safeguards.

Children

On family-type Spaces, a parent or guardian who is an account holder may add child members. Child accounts are managed by the Space administrator. bound8 is not directed to children for independent sign-up.

Your choices & rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete your personal information. You can export or delete your data at any time from Settings (see "Data retention & deletion" above); to access, correct, or ask about anything else, contact us at apexprimusllc@gmail.com.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the app.
