(held) (by WellSet, Inc.) Privacy Policy Effective Date: February 27, 2026
At WellSet, Inc. (“WellSet,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), your privacy matters deeply. This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use the (held) mobile application (“App”), website, and related services (collectively, the “Services”). By using the Services, you agree to this Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use immediately.
1. Overview and ScopeThis Policy applies to information collected through our website, mobile application, and any online service operated by WellSet that links to this Policy. The (held) App provides nervous system regulation, mindfulness exercises, emotional insights and other wellness tools designed for general educational and entertainment purposes only. We are not a covered entity under HIPAA, and our Services are not intended for medical diagnosis or treatment.
2. Changes to this Privacy PolicyWe may modify this Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the Effective Date above and post the revised version. Material changes will be communicated through the App or by email where appropriate. Continued use of the Services after any modification constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
3. Information We CollectWe collect personal and non-personal information directly from you, automatically through your device, and from third parties. This includes:
- Account registration information: Name, email address, login credentials (encrypted), and optional profile information you chose to provide, such as birthday, birthplace and birth time, phone number.
- Usage and device data: IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers, and app usage metrics. We may use third-party analytics providers that process data on our behalf under written data processing agreements.
- Wellness inputs: We treat the following information as “Sensitive Personal Information” under the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) and as “special category data” where applicable under GDPR: emotional need states, journal entries, check in entries, subjective intensity scores, sleep quality, energy levels, mood tracking, session participation, and related inputs.
- Payment information: Payment information is processed by PCI-compliant third-party providers. We do not store full payment card numbers.
- Communications: responses to surveys, workshops, or feedback forms and Support inquiries
- Health Platform Integrations (If Applicable): If you choose to connect third-party health platforms (e.g., Apple HealthKit, Google Fit), we access only the data you authorize and use it solely to provide the Services. We do not use this data for advertising.
This information is used solely to provide, personalize, and improve the Services. We do not use Sensitive Personal Information for targeted advertising, cross-context behavioral advertising, or data brokerage.
Biometric information: We may collect biometric information such as:
- Heart rate
- Breathing rate
- Heart rate variability (HRV)
- Camera- or sensor-based estimations of physiological activity
We collect biometric identifiers only after obtaining informed written consent. Biometric information is used exclusively to provide app functionality. We do not sell, lease, trade, or otherwise profit from biometric identifiers or biometric information. Biometric data is retained only until the initial purpose for collection has been satisfied or within three (3) years of your last interaction with the Services, whichever occurs first. Biometric data is permanently destroyed in accordance with our data retention schedule. Where possible, biometric data is processed locally on your device and not stored on our servers unless necessary to provide functionality.
Use of Artificial Intelligence Services
We use third-party artificial intelligence service providers to power certain features of the App. When users submit text, reflections, prompts, or other content within the App, that content may be transmitted to Anthropic PBC (Claude API) for the purpose of generating AI-powered responses and providing personalized emotional support and app functionality.
The types of data that may be transmitted include:
-
User-submitted messages
-
Reflections or journal entries
-
Emotional check-ins
-
Other text content entered within the App
Users are presented with a clear in-app disclosure and must provide affirmative consent before any content is transmitted to Anthropic.
This information is transmitted solely to enable core App functionality, including generating responses and providing personalized support experiences. We do not use user-submitted content for advertising purposes.
Anthropic processes this data on our behalf pursuant to contractual obligations that require appropriate technical and organizational safeguards to protect personal information. We require our service providers to maintain data protection standards consistent with applicable privacy laws and to use submitted data only for the purpose of providing services to us.
We do not sell personal information to third parties.
User-submitted content may also be stored securely on our systems to provide conversation history, personalization, and service improvements. Access to such data is restricted and protected using industry-standard security measures.
Anthropic processes submitted content solely to provide services to us and does not use submitted content to train public or general foundation models. Processing occurs pursuant to contractual data protection obligations that restrict use to providing services to WellSet.
By using the App and submitting content, you acknowledge and agree that your submitted content may be transmitted to our third-party AI service provider, Anthropic PBC (Claude API), as described in this Policy.
