Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 2026 · Effective immediately
Your emotional data is sacred. Here's exactly how we handle it — no legalese, just honesty.
AI Processing Disclosure
Uyir uses OpenAI's API to power its AI companion features — including chat responses, voice transcription (Whisper), and weekly reflection summaries.
What gets sent to OpenAI:
- Your chat messages and voice transcriptions
- Mood check-in context (anonymised)
- Guided session prompts and responses
Data retention:
OpenAI processes your data to generate responses. Per our agreement with OpenAI, data sent via the API is not used to train OpenAI models and is retained for a maximum of 30 days for abuse monitoring, after which it is permanently deleted.
Your opt-out rights:
You can opt out of AI-powered features at any time from Settings → Privacy Controls. Opting out disables AI chat responses and voice transcription. Your existing journal entries remain unaffected.
Note: OpenAI's data handling is governed by their Privacy Policy and API Data Usage Policies.
1. Who We Are
Uyir is operated by Introspect Labs. We build emotional wellness tools designed to help people express themselves freely and safely.
Questions? Reach us at contact@introspectlabs.ai
2. What Data We Collect
Account data
Name, email address, avatar (optional), language preference. Collected when you sign up.
Journal & chat content
Your journal entries, mood check-ins, guided session responses, and chat messages. This content is encrypted at rest using AES-GCM encryption.
Voice data
Audio recordings made via the mic button. These are transcribed via OpenAI Whisper and not stored — only the text transcript is saved.
Usage data
App activity (streak counts, last active date). No behavioural analytics or ad tracking.
3. How We Use Your Data
- To provide and personalise the Uyir experience
- To generate AI companion responses via OpenAI
- To send transactional emails (welcome, reminders) via Resend
- To maintain your streak and activity history
- To improve app reliability and fix bugs
We never sell your data, use it for advertising, or share it with third parties beyond the service providers listed in this policy.
4. Data Storage & Security
Your data is stored on Supabase (PostgreSQL), hosted on AWS infrastructure in the Asia-Pacific region. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest.
Journal content is additionally encrypted at the application layer using AES-GCM before being written to the database — meaning even our team cannot read your entries.
5. Your Rights
- Access: Download all your data from Settings → Data Export
- Deletion: Delete your account and all associated data from Settings → Delete Account
- Correction: Update your profile information at any time
- Opt-out of AI: Disable AI features from Settings → Privacy Controls
- Portability: Export your journal entries in JSON format
