Privacy Policy

Temperance is built and operated by its founders, Arshawn Arbabi and William Dorman. We are the people responsible for your data and the ones who answer when you write to us.

If you have a question about your privacy, or you want to exercise any of the rights below, email us at hello@trytemperance.com and we will handle it ourselves.

We collect the information Temperance needs to be your assistant. That falls into a few groups:

• ·Account details. Your email address and name, so you can sign in and we know who you are. Sign-in is handled by our authentication provider.
• ·Your calendar. When you connect a calendar, we read and write events so the assistant can see your schedule and make changes you ask for.
• ·Your to-dos. The tasks you give the assistant, along with any times or reminders attached to them.
• ·Your vaults (second brain). The notes, contacts, trips, and other things you save, which we keep private to your account.
• ·Your conversations. The messages between you and the assistant, so it can carry out your requests and pick up where you left off.
• ·What it learns about you. A personal profile the assistant builds over time about how you like things done. You can read it and delete it.
• ·Payment details. If you subscribe, our payment processor handles your card. We never see or store your full card number.
• ·Basic technical data. Things like your device type and rough usage, so we can keep the app working and fix problems.

We only use your information to run the assistant and keep it working for you. Concretely, that means:

• ·To do what you ask, across your calendar, tasks, and vaults.
• ·To keep your account secure and let you sign in.
• ·To remember context so the assistant gets more useful over time.
• ·To take payment if you subscribe.
• ·To find and fix problems, and to keep the service reliable.

If you are in a region with privacy laws like the GDPR, our legal bases are: performing our contract with you (running the assistant you signed up for), our legitimate interest in keeping the service secure and working, your consent where we ask for it, and meeting our legal obligations.

The assistant uses a large language model to understand your requests and act on them. To do that, the relevant parts of your message and the context it needs are sent to our AI provider to generate a response. That is the only reason your content goes there.

We do not use your personal content to train AI models, and our AI provider does not train its models on what we send through the assistant. Your calendar, tasks, notes, and conversations are there to serve you, not to build a model.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for advertising. We do rely on a small set of trusted companies to run the service. Each one only receives what it needs to do its job, and is bound to handle your data securely:

• ·An AI provider, to understand and act on your requests.
• ·An authentication provider, to manage sign-in.
• ·A calendar provider, when you connect your calendar.
• ·A search provider, when the assistant looks something up for you.
• ·Cloud hosting and database providers, to run and store the app.
• ·A payment processor, if you subscribe.

We may also share information if the law requires it, or to protect the safety and rights of our users. If our company is ever sold or merged, your data would move with it, and we would tell you first.

We keep your information for as long as your account is open, so the assistant can do its job. When you delete something in the app, we remove it. When you delete your account, we delete your data, including your calendar connection, tasks, vaults, conversations, and profile.

We may keep a limited amount of information longer where the law requires it, for example basic billing records.

Your data is yours. You can:

• ·See what we hold about you.
• ·Export your data.
• ·Correct anything that is wrong.
• ·Delete specific items, or your whole account.
• ·Disconnect your calendar at any time.
• ·Read and clear what the assistant has learned about you.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws like the GDPR or the CCPA, including the right to object to certain processing or to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. To use any of these, just email us. We will not charge you or make it difficult.

We use only the cookies needed to keep you signed in and the app working. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. If that ever changes, we will ask for your consent first and update this policy.

We protect your information with encryption in transit, access controls, and reputable infrastructure providers. No system is perfectly secure, but we treat your calendar and notes the way we would want ours treated, and we limit who and what can touch them.

Temperance is meant for adults. It is not designed for children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has given us their information, write to us and we will remove it.

We and our providers may process your data in countries other than the one you live in, including the United States. Where the law requires it, we use approved safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, to protect your information when it moves across borders.

If we change this policy in a meaningful way, we will update the date at the top and let you know, so you are never surprised by how your data is handled.
