Privacy Policy

Gruvium is an artificial intelligence-powered wellness companion designed to support mindfulness, meditation, relaxation, sleep improvement habits, focus, reflection, personal growth, and healthy daily routines.

Gruvium may use artificial intelligence, personalization technology, voice technology, and behavioral insights to provide customized wellness experiences.

Gruvium is not a healthcare provider, medical service, or diagnostic platform. For information about the limitations of Gruvium, please review our Health & Wellness Disclaimer and AI Safety & Responsible AI Policy.

We collect information necessary to provide, personalize, improve, and secure Gruvium. The information we collect depends on how you interact with our Services.

2.1 Account Information

When you create an account, we may collect:

• Full name
• Email address
• Username
• Password credentials
• Profile photo (if provided)
• Age information
• Country or region
• Account preferences

We use this information to create your account, authenticate users, provide personalized experiences, communicate with you, and protect account security.

Profile photos you upload are stored in a public avatars bucket so Circles members and anyone with the image URL can view them. Do not upload a photo you want to keep private. Removing the photo from your profile stops new use of that file; copies or cached links may persist.

2.2 Wellness Profile Information

To personalize your Gruvium experience, we may collect information about your wellness preferences, including wellness goals, meditation goals, preferred session duration, preferred meditation styles, sleep goals, focus goals, relaxation preferences, preferred voice settings, and content preferences.

2.3 Mood and Emotional Reflection Information

Gruvium may allow you to record personal reflections, including mood selections, emotional check-ins, daily feelings, reflection responses, personal growth notes, gratitude entries, and journal entries. This information is considered personal wellness information. You control whether you provide this information and may delete it through available account controls.

2.4 Journal and Personal Reflection Content

Your journal content belongs to you. Akinox does not claim ownership of your personal reflections. We process this information only as necessary to provide requested features, store your entries, display your history, generate personalized experiences, and maintain security. We do not sell your journal entries.

2.5 Voice Data and Audio Information

If you use voice features, we may collect voice recordings, audio input, speech transcripts, voice preferences, and conversation history (depending on your settings). Voice information may be processed to convert speech into text, understand your requests, generate AI responses, improve voice interaction quality, and provide personalized experiences. You control microphone permissions through your device settings.

2.6 AI Conversation Data

When you interact with Gruvi AI, we may process your messages, voice conversations, questions, requests, AI-generated responses, and conversation history. You should avoid sharing highly sensitive information unless necessary.

2.7 Device Information

We automatically collect certain technical information, including device model, operating system, app version, device identifiers, language settings, time zone, crash reports, and performance information.

2.8 Usage Information

We may collect information about how you use Gruvium, including sessions completed, meditation history, features used, content viewed, completion progress, preferences, and app interactions.

2.9 Apple Watch and Wearable Data

If you use Gruvium on Apple Watch or compatible wearable devices, we may collect information related to enabled features. Depending on your permissions, this may include activity information, mindfulness session completion, heart rate information (if enabled), and health-related measurements available through device integrations.

If Gruvium integrates with Apple HealthKit:

• We only access information you explicitly authorize.
• HealthKit data is used only to provide requested features.
• HealthKit data is not sold.
• HealthKit data is not used for advertising.

Gruvium uses artificial intelligence technologies to provide personalized experiences. AI may process conversations, preferences, wellness goals, usage patterns, and user requests.

Important AI Disclosure

AI-generated information may not always be accurate. Gruvium AI is not human, is not a healthcare professional, does not diagnose conditions, and does not replace professional support. You should use personal judgment when interacting with Gruvi.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information only in limited circumstances.

5.1 Service Providers

We may share information with trusted providers that help us operate Gruvium, including cloud hosting providers, authentication providers, analytics providers, AI technology providers, payment processors, and customer support systems. These providers may only process information necessary to provide services to us.

5.2 AI Service Providers

To provide AI functionality, Gruvium may use third-party AI infrastructure providers. Information shared may include user requests, conversation data, audio transcripts, and context required to generate responses. We require providers to process information according to appropriate privacy and security standards.

5.3 Legal Requirements

We may disclose information if required by law, by legal process, to protect rights and safety, or to prevent fraud or abuse.

5.4 Business Transfers

If Akinox undergoes a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or corporate restructuring, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

5.5 Public profile photos

Avatar images are publicly readable by design so other members can see your photo in Circles and related surfaces. The image URL is not a private, signed link. If you want your likeness private, do not add a profile photo.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect your information. Security measures may include encryption, secure authentication, access controls, monitoring systems, and security testing.

However, no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.

We retain information only as long as necessary to provide services, maintain your account, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and improve security. You may request deletion of your information.

You may request deletion of your Gruvium account. When you request deletion, we may delete account information, profile data, journal entries, saved preferences, and personal information.

Some information may be retained when required for legal obligations, security purposes, fraud prevention, or financial records.

You may:

• Update account information
• Change personalization settings
• Disable microphone access
• Manage notifications
• Delete journal entries
• Disconnect wearable integrations
• Delete your account
