Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 1, 2026

Align First ("we," "us," or "our") built the Align First app. This page explains what information we collect through the App and through our website at alignfirst.app, how we use it, and your choices.

1. Information We Collect

• Account information: Your name and email address when you sign in with Apple.
• User-entered content: Goals, values, and answers you provide to personalize your experience.
• Screen time data: App usage statistics used to calculate and track your earned time.
• Usage analytics: Anonymized data about how you interact with the App, used to improve the product.
• Subscription status: Whether you have an active subscription, managed via Apple and RevenueCat.
• Meditation activity (optional): Only if you connect your own Dropbox or Google Drive account to listen to your meditations in the App. For each meditation we store its file name, when you listened, how many minutes you listened, whether you finished it, and, if you choose, which of your outcomes you focused on. We never copy, upload, or store your meditation audio, and it does not pass through our servers: it plays directly from your Dropbox to your phone. The sign-in that lets the App read your Dropbox or Google Drive is kept only on your phone, in its secure storage. For Google Drive, you choose your meditation files one by one in Google\u2019s own picker; the App keeps only the names and IDs of the files you choose, on your phone.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To generate personalized affirmations, visualizations, and audio recordings of them using AI
• To track your earned screen time and session history
• If you connect Dropbox, to play your meditations and show your meditation activity in the App
• To manage your subscription and access to features
• To improve the App through anonymized analytics

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use the content you enter in the App — your goals, answers, or affirmations — for advertising. Section 7 explains the separate, limited tracking we use on our website to measure our ads.

3. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate the App:

• Supabase — data storage and authentication
• RevenueCat — subscription management
• Anthropic — AI generation of affirmations and visualizations (your goals and answers are sent to Anthropic's API; Anthropic does not use this data to train its models)
• ElevenLabs — turning your affirmations into audio recordings (the text of your affirmations, and of your visualizations when they are included, is sent to ElevenLabs' API to create the recording; ElevenLabs does not use this data to train its models)
• Dropbox — only if you choose to connect it, so the App can play your own meditation files. The App asks for read-only access: it cannot change or delete anything in your Dropbox. You can disconnect at any time in the App's Settings, which ends the App's access. Dropbox may still list Align First among your connected apps until you remove it in your Dropbox settings.
• Google Drive — only if you choose to connect it, so the App can play your own meditation files. Google\u2019s permission screen says the permission lets the App \u201csee, edit, create, and delete\u201d the specific files you choose; the App only reads and plays them, and never changes, moves, deletes, or uploads anything. You can disconnect at any time in the App\u2019s Settings, which ends the App\u2019s access, and you can review it in your Google Account under Security, Third-party access.
• PostHog — anonymized usage analytics
• Meta (Facebook) — advertising measurement on our website only; see Section 7

4. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. You can delete your account directly within the App at any time, which will remove your personal data from our servers immediately, including your meditation activity. If you request account deletion by email, we will process it within 30 days.

5. Your Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting us at hello@alignfirst.app.

6. Children's Privacy

The App is not directed at children under 17. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 17.

7. Our Website and Advertising

Some pages on alignfirst.app are used as landing pages for ads we run. On those pages we use the Meta (Facebook) Pixel, which places cookies in your browser and records that you viewed the page and whether you tapped a link to the App Store. That information is shared with Meta so we can measure how our ads perform and improve them.

If you enter your email address in a form on one of these pages, the Pixel also sends a scrambled version of it to Meta. The scrambling is one-way, so Meta never receives your address in readable form. It is used only to recognise that a visit and a sign-up came from the same person, which is what lets us tell whether an ad worked.

This tracking is limited to our website. It does not have access to anything inside the App, and it is not connected to your Align First account. We use it to measure advertising, not to build a profile of you.

Meta may also use this information to show you our ads on Facebook and Instagram. You can control that in your Meta ad preferences at facebook.com/adpreferences, and you can block or clear these cookies in your browser settings at any time. Blocking them does not affect your use of the App.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The updated date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. Continued use of the App constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
