Privacy Policy
Ascendia holds ordinary but personal things — what you ate, how you slept, what you are trying to change. This page says exactly what we collect, why, and how to get it back.
Who we are
Ascendia is operated by Altan Studio. For anything about your data, write to privacy@ascendia.day. A person reads it.
What we collect
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| Account — email, name, password hash, or your Google sign-in | To create your account and let you sign back in |
| What you write — tasks, goals, plans, notes, calendar entries | They are the product; without them there is nothing to plan |
| Health and activity — workouts, meals, sleep, body measurements | To programme training and adjust the day to how recovered you are |
| Money entries — anything you record in the finance room | Only what you type. We never connect to a bank |
| Conversations — what you say to Cognito | To answer you, and to remember context between sessions |
| Device — a notification token, app version, crash reports | To deliver reminders and fix what breaks |
| Purchases — subscription status from Google Play | To know whether your membership is active. We never see your card |
We do not sell your data, and there are no advertising trackers in Ascendia. There is no ad SDK, no data broker, no third party buying access to what you write.
Health data
If you connect Health Connect, Ascendia reads steps, workouts, sleep and similar measurements to plan around your recovery. It is used for that and nothing else — never for advertising, never sold, never shared with anyone outside the processors below. You can disconnect at any time in Android settings, and revoking access stops the reading immediately.
Who else touches it
Only companies that help run the service, and only for that:
- Google Cloud — the servers and database where Ascendia runs
- Anthropic — the AI model that plans your day. Prompts are processed to produce your plan and are not used to train their models
- Google Play — billing and subscription status
- Firebase Cloud Messaging — delivering notifications
- Sentry — crash diagnostics, when enabled
Your rights
Wherever you live, you can ask us to show you what we hold, correct it, export it, or delete it. Deleting is self-service — here is how — and everything else is one email to privacy@ascendia.day. We answer within 30 days and do not charge for it.
If you are in the EU or UK, our lawful basis is the contract between us (running the service you paid for) and, for health data, your explicit consent — which you can withdraw at any time by disconnecting Health Connect.
How long we keep it
While your account exists. When you delete it, your data goes with it; encrypted backups age out within 30 days. We retain an anonymous purchase record where tax law requires it — no name, no email, no content.
Children
Ascendia is not for under-16s and we do not knowingly collect their data. If a child's account exists, write to us and we will remove it.
Security
Traffic is encrypted in transit, data is encrypted at rest, passwords are hashed and never stored in a readable form, and access to production is limited. No system is perfect; if something goes wrong that affects you, we will tell you rather than hope you do not notice.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that matters, we will say so in the app before it takes effect — not quietly edit this page. The date at the top is always the truth.
