Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

A&H Tech Studio (“A&H,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) designs focused, privacy-first mobile experiences. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information across all of our applications (collectively, the “Apps”). We are committed to collecting as little data as possible, processing it transparently, and giving you control.

By downloading or using any of our Apps, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Apps. We may translate or localize this policy, but the English version governs to the extent of any inconsistency.

2. Apps Covered by This Policy

This policy applies to the following experiences published under the A&H Tech Studio developer account:

If we launch new products, we will add them to this list and describe any relevant data practices before you start using them.

3. Information We Collect

3.1 Information You Provide On-Device

We design our Apps to function without creating accounts or collecting personally identifiable information. The information you provide—such as bill details, breathing durations, reflections, task names, or creative notes—remains stored locally on your device. For LiveSearch AI only, chat input and selected context are transmitted to our backend and Perplexity AI after consent so responses can be generated.

3.2 LiveSearch AI Data Elements and Collection Methods

For LiveSearch AI, we collect and process only data necessary to provide AI chat, billing, and reliability features. We collect this data directly from your input, from your device runtime settings, and from purchase/recharge events.

• Chat content: text you submit and conversation messages included in the request payload.
• Technical/context fields: locale identifier, language code, region code, calendar identifier, time zone identifier.
• Location context: approximate location only (for example city/region) if you choose or allow it in settings.
• Service identifiers: app-generated device identifier used for wallet balance and request authentication.
• Recharge records: transaction ID, recharge amount, and timestamp for fraud prevention and balance reconciliation.

3.3 Automatic Diagnostics and Usage Analytics

To keep our Apps stable, we may rely on anonymized analytics and crash reports provided by Apple or optional third-party frameworks. These reports can include device type, operating system version, the feature in use when a crash occurred, and aggregated engagement metrics. We do not see your name, email, precise location, or any content you create inside the Apps.

3.4 Support Communications

When you contact us at ah_customer@yeah.net, we collect the information you choose to share (for example, device model, screenshots, or problem descriptions) solely to resolve your request. Email correspondence is stored within our support inbox and follows the retention practices of that service.

4. Information We Do Not Collect

• We do not ask you to create accounts or share personal identifiers such as your name, email, phone number, or address inside the Apps.
• We do not request access to your contacts, calendars, photos, microphone, or precise location.
• We do not store payment information. All purchases are handled securely by the App Store using your Apple ID.
• We do not run advertising SDKs or sell user data to third parties.

5. How We Use Information

Any data we access is used to:

• Deliver core functionality, such as calculating results, keeping timer progress, or saving your latest configuration.
• Remember preferences (e.g., language, theme, breathing pace) so that the App opens ready for you.
• Monitor stability, diagnose crashes, and plan feature improvements based on anonymous trends.
• Respond to customer support requests and improve the clarity of our documentation.

LiveSearch AI specific uses:

• Send your request to Perplexity AI to generate a response.
• Apply your selected language, length, and location context preferences to improve relevance.
• Maintain wallet balance and process recharge transactions linked to your app-generated device ID.
• Prevent abuse, secure requests, and troubleshoot failed requests.

We do not build personal profiles, track you across other companies’ services, or combine analytics with other datasets to identify individuals.

6. Data Storage and Security

6.1 Local Storage

App data is stored securely on your device using Apple-provided technologies such as UserDefaults, Core Data, or encrypted Keychain entries where appropriate. Removing the App deletes locally stored data, though Keychain items may remain until you remove them through iOS settings or reinstall the App.

6.2 Optional Cloud Backups

If you enable iCloud backup or device backups in iTunes/Finder, your operating system may include App data in those encrypted backups. A&H does not access these backups; they remain under Apple’s control and your Apple ID credentials.

6.3 Security Measures

• We follow Apple’s security guidelines and rely on the platform’s sandboxing model to isolate App data.
• We periodically review dependencies to keep them up to date and patched.
• We restrict internal access to any diagnostics to team members who need it to maintain the Apps.

7. Third-Party Services

We may interact with the following services while operating the Apps:

7.1 Apple App Store

Distribution, updates, and in-app purchases are fulfilled through Apple. Apple may process personal data under its own privacy policy. We do not receive raw billing details or payment card numbers.

7.2 Analytics and Crash Reporting

We may use Apple’s App Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics, or similar tools to understand stability and high-level usage trends. These tools aggregate data and strip away direct identifiers before we review reports.

7.3 AI Service Provider (LiveSearch AI)

LiveSearch AI uses Perplexity AI (api.perplexity.ai) to generate responses. Before data is sent, the app presents an in-app consent screen that identifies Perplexity AI and data categories. If you do not agree, the app does not send AI chat requests.

We require third-party providers that process our app data to provide privacy and security protections that are the same as or stronger than the protections described in this policy and required by applicable law.

7.4 Cloud Infrastructure and Database

LiveSearch AI backend services may use hosting and managed database providers (such as Vercel and Supabase) to process requests and store wallet/recharge records. Stored records are limited to the minimum fields required for service operation, including device ID, balance, transaction ID, amount, and timestamps.

7.5 Consent and Withdrawal for LiveSearch AI

LiveSearch AI asks for your permission before transmitting chat-related data to Perplexity AI. You can stop using AI chat at any time by not granting consent, by removing the app, or by contacting us for support.

Consent records are stored locally on your device. When we materially update the disclosure scope, we may request consent again.

7.6 Retention for LiveSearch AI

Wallet and recharge records are retained as needed for accounting, fraud prevention, and legal compliance. Chat requests are processed to return responses; operational logs may be retained for a limited period for security and debugging.

When retention is no longer necessary, we delete or de-identify data in accordance with applicable law and service requirements.

8. Your Rights and Controls

8.1 Managing Your Data

• You can clear saved content within each App using the in-app reset options (where available).
• Deleting the App from your device removes locally stored data tied to that App.
• You may disable analytics sharing in iOS at Settings > Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements.

8.2 Contacting Us

If you have questions about data handling, want to request deletion of support correspondence, or need clarification about a specific App, contact us at ah_customer@yeah.net. We will respond within three business days whenever possible.

9. Children’s Privacy

Our Apps are intended for general audiences and are not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with data, please reach out so we can delete it promptly.

10. International Users

We operate from the United States and the People’s Republic of China, but our Apps are available globally. For LiveSearch AI, transmitting requests to third-party and infrastructure providers may involve cross-border processing. Where analytics or crash reports are generated, they may be processed by the service provider in the jurisdiction where their servers are located. You are responsible for ensuring your use complies with local laws.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect product changes, new regulations, or clarified language. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date above. For significant updates, we will highlight the change in-App or on our website before it takes effect. Your continued use of the Apps after the effective date signifies that you accept the revised policy.
