Not a Bad Life Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 6, 2026

Scope: This Privacy Policy applies only to the Not a Bad Life mobile application (the "App"). Other Auspex Labs Inc. websites, products, and services are governed by the Auspex Labs Privacy Policy.

1. About This Policy

Auspex Labs Inc. ("Auspex," "we," "us," or "our") provides Not a Bad Life, a micro-journal that lets you record a daily good-or-bad rating and an optional journal entry. This Policy explains what information the App handles, why it is handled, when it is sent to Auspex, and how you can control or delete it.

You may use core journaling features with local device storage. You may also create an account to use cloud features. The information Auspex receives therefore depends on the features you choose.

2. Information the App Handles

Journal and daily-rating information

• Journal entries: text and other content you choose to save in an entry.
• Daily rating: the good-or-bad value and date associated with an entry.

If you use local storage only, journal and daily-rating information remains on your device and is not sent to Auspex. If you enable cloud features, the App transmits the information you choose to back up so it can be stored with your cloud account.

Account information

If you create or use a cloud account, we receive your email address, an account or user identifier, and authentication information supplied by the identity provider. We do not receive the password you use with an external sign-in provider.

Device, usage, and diagnostic information

When the App communicates with Auspex or its service providers, we may receive the IP address, device model, operating-system and App versions, user or device identifiers, access times, features used, product interactions, error information, crash data, and performance data. We use this information to deliver cloud features, maintain security, diagnose failures, and improve reliability. Diagnostic information does not include the text of journal entries.

Notification information

If you enable notifications, the App and the operating-system notification service handle your notification preferences and the technical identifier needed to deliver a notification. You can disable notifications through the App or device settings.

Support information

If you contact us, we receive your contact information, message, and any diagnostic or other information you choose to include.

3. How We Collect Information

We collect information directly from you, automatically when the App communicates with our systems, and from service providers used for authentication, app distribution, notifications, diagnostics, and cloud infrastructure. The native App does not use advertising or cross-app tracking cookies. An identity provider or app store may use its own technologies under its own privacy policy.

4. How We Use Information

We use information to:

• provide local and optional cloud journaling features;
• create, authenticate, secure, and support cloud accounts;
• back up and return journal and daily-rating information at your direction;
• send notifications you enable and administrative or security messages;
• diagnose errors, monitor performance, prevent abuse, and protect the App;
• respond to support and privacy requests; and
• comply with law and valid legal process.

We do not use journal-entry content for advertising, profiling, analytics, or artificial-intelligence or machine-learning training. We do not sell personal information or journal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

5. Aggregated Daily Ratings

We may combine daily good-or-bad ratings from multiple users to create aggregate statistics. Before any aggregate statistic is displayed publicly, we remove account identifiers and combine enough records so the result is not reasonably capable of identifying a person. We do not include journal-entry content in aggregate statistics and do not publish an individual's rating.

6. How We Disclose Information

We disclose information only as described below:

• Service providers: providers that perform cloud hosting, storage, authentication, notification, distribution, diagnostics, security, and support functions for us. They may process information only to provide the contracted function and must protect it appropriately.
• At your direction or with your consent: when you direct the App to interact with another service or expressly authorize a disclosure.
• Legal and safety reasons: when reasonably necessary to comply with law or valid legal process, enforce our terms, investigate abuse, or protect rights, safety, systems, and property.
• Business transaction: in connection with a proposed or completed financing, merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale, subject to appropriate confidentiality and use restrictions.

Cloud infrastructure providers necessarily process encrypted journal information stored through cloud features, but they are not permitted to use it for their own purposes. We do not disclose journal-entry content to advertisers, data brokers, or artificial-intelligence training providers.

7. Data Security

Information sent between the App and Auspex is encrypted in transit using TLS. Cloud information is encrypted at rest, and access is limited through authentication, authorization, and operational controls. Local information is protected by the security controls of your device and operating system. No transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

8. Retention and Deletion

Local-only information remains on your device until you delete it in the App, clear the App's storage, or remove the App in a manner that deletes its local data.

Cloud account information, backed-up journal entries, and daily ratings are retained while your cloud account remains active. Operational, security, and diagnostic records are retained only as long as reasonably necessary to operate and protect the App. If you delete your cloud account, we delete or deidentify the account and associated personal information from active systems, except information we must retain for security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or legal compliance. Limited encrypted copies may remain in protected backups until those backups are overwritten under normal schedules.

You can initiate cloud-account deletion from the account controls in the App or use our public Not a Bad Life account-deletion page. We may verify a request before completing it. We will confirm completion using the contact information associated with the request.

9. Your Rights and Choices

You can view, create, edit, and delete journal entries and daily ratings through the App. Depending on your location, you may also have the right to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or a portable copy of personal information; object to or restrict certain processing; withdraw consent; or complain to a privacy authority.

To make a privacy request, email contact@auspex-labs.com with the subject "Not a Bad Life Privacy Request." We may verify your identity before acting and will respond within the time required by applicable law.

10. Children's Privacy

The App is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from a child under 13. If we learn that we have done so, we will delete it. A store age rating describes the App's content and does not change this age limitation.

11. International Processing

Auspex is based in the United States, and cloud information is processed in the United States and in other locations where our service providers operate. When required, we use a legally recognized transfer mechanism or contractual safeguard.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy to reflect changes in the App, our practices, or legal obligations. We will post the revised Policy at this URL, update the effective date, and provide additional notice in the App or by email when required or when a change materially affects how we use personal information.
