Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 5, 2026

Your privacy is of utmost importance to us. Sobriety Copilot is a recovery-support application designed to help users interact with 12-step literature and resources. Because this app handles sensitive wellness data, we have established a strict, transparent privacy framework.

1. Data We Access and How We Use It

• Audio / Microphone Access: Used exclusively when you choose to dictate prompts or record voice input for the assistant. The audio is converted to text on your device or sent securely to your self-hosted API for transcription. We do not store or share your voice files.
• Camera and Photos: Used only when you attach photos of recovery literature or documents to scan them into the chat input box using OCR (Optical Character Recognition). This text extraction is performed entirely on your device.
• Location Data: Used to search for local recovery meetings (A.A./N.A.) near you. Your location is queried against the BMLT (Bread of Life) meeting feed server and is never stored, tracked, or associated with your identity.
• Mobile Phone Information & SMS: We collect your mobile phone number only if you voluntarily choose to opt in to receive SMS text notifications (such as daily recovery reflections, sobriety milestones, or recovery check-in prompts). No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

2. Data Security and Transmission

All chat communications, search queries, and document requests are transmitted securely over encrypted channels (HTTPS) to your designated self-hosted RAG backend server. No chat histories, location lookups, phone numbers, or user credentials are sent to third-party ad networks, analytics engines, or marketers.

3. Data Deletion and User Control

Your chat history is stored locally on your device and can be cleared at any time from the app's settings. You can opt out of SMS communications at any time simply by texting STOP to our number, after which no further SMS messages will be sent to you.

4. SMS Messaging Terms & Privacy

If you choose to receive SMS messages from Sobriety Copilot:

• Message frequency varies based on your chosen settings and requests.
• Message and data rates may apply.
• You can cancel at any time by texting STOP.
• For help, text HELP or email [email protected].
• Mobile phone numbers and opt-in consent will strictly not be shared, sold, rented, or transferred to third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.
