Privacy Policy

1. Overview

Aptus Man ("we", "us", or "the Service") is an educational and personal-development platform for adults 18 and older. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Service, you agree to the practices described here.

2. Information We Collect

Account information

• Email address and name (used for login and account identification)
• Role (e.g., user or admin) assigned within the platform

Age verification

• Birthdate, collected once to confirm you are 18 or older
• A record that you agreed to the Respectful Use Policy

Content you create

• Journal entries, lesson reflections, and coaching-tool inputs you submit
• Progress data such as completed lessons, drills, streaks, and achievement badges
• Optional images you upload (for example, profile or outfit photos)

Usage and technical data

• Device identifiers, app version, and basic usage analytics
• Cookies or similar tokens used to keep you signed in

3. How We Use Your Information

• To create and maintain your account and verify your age
• To provide the courses, drills, coaching tools, and progress tracking you request
• To send service-related emails such as drill reminders, receipts, and account updates
• To improve the platform, fix bugs, and develop new features
• To enforce our Terms of Use and Respectful Use Policy

4. Payments

Subscriptions are processed by Stripe, our third-party payment provider. We do not collect or store your full card number. Stripe handles payment details according to its own privacy and security standards. We receive only confirmation of your subscription status and, where applicable, transaction metadata for record-keeping.

5. AI-Generated Content

Some features use artificial intelligence to generate coaching responses and feedback based on your inputs. The content you submit to these tools may be processed by our AI providers to produce a response. Do not submit sensitive personal information into coaching tools. AI output is general guidance only and not professional advice.

6. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers who help operate the platform, such as:

• Hosting and database infrastructure
• Payment processing (Stripe)
• Email delivery
• AI model providers for coaching features

We may disclose information when required by law or to protect the rights, safety, or property of our users or the public.

7. Data Retention

We keep your information for as long as your account is active. You can delete your account at any time from the Account page, which removes your personal data from the Service. Some records may be retained as required by law or for legitimate business purposes such as fraud prevention.

8. Your Choices and Rights

• Access and update your profile information from the Account page
• Request deletion of your account and associated data
• Opt out of promotional emails using the unsubscribe link in any message
• Withdraw consent for optional features such as photo uploads by not using them

Depending on your location, you may have additional rights under privacy laws such as the GDPR or CCPA. To exercise these rights, contact us through the Contact page.

9. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Children's Privacy

The Service is strictly for adults 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided information, contact us and we will delete it.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the updated policy in the app or by email. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
