Privacy, without the fog.

1. The short version

Aro does not require an account or sell personal data. Your focus history, intentions, rooms, settings, and notes are stored on your device and may sync through your private iCloud account. The free version displays limited advertising; Aro Pro does not display ads.

2. Information involved

• On-device and iCloud data: sessions, goals, rituals, settings, intentions, and notes.
• Purchases: RevenueCat processes an anonymous purchaser identifier, product identifiers, transaction status, and subscription entitlements.
• Advertising: Google AdMob and its advertising partners may process device information, IP address, advertising interactions, diagnostics, and approximate location derived from the IP address to provide, measure, protect, and improve ads. The exact treatment depends on your region and privacy choices.
• Support: if you contact us, we receive the information you choose to include in your message.

3. What stays private

Aro does not send the text of your focus intentions or session notes to advertising or purchase providers. We do not request your precise location, contacts, or microphone. A custom background selected from your photo library is used for that feature and stored with the app’s local data.

4. Third-party services

Aro relies on Apple services, RevenueCat, and Google AdMob for the purposes described above.

• Apple Privacy
• RevenueCat Privacy
• Google Privacy

5. Advertising choices

Before its first ad request, Aro explains the available advertising modes. If you choose personalized advertising, Google’s certified privacy form lets you review the partners and decide what you allow. If you decline personalization, Aro requests limited ads. You can revisit available Google privacy choices or switch to limited ads from Aro’s Settings. Aro does not request Apple’s App Tracking Transparency permission and disables Google’s publisher first-party identifier.

6. Retention and choices

Local data remains until you remove it or delete the app. iCloud data is controlled through your Apple account and device settings. Advertising and purchase records are retained by their providers according to their policies. You can remove advertising by upgrading to Aro Pro.

7. Children

Aro is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
