📊 Data Tracking Statement
Effective Date: 01-July, 2025
At Awakened Friend, we believe your journey inward must be held in deep respect — and that includes how we handle and track your data.
This Data Tracking Statement explains what information we observe during your use of the platform, how we use it to improve your experience, and how you remain in control of it.
🔍 What is Data Tracking?
“Data tracking” means observing how you interact with our website or app — not to monitor you, but to serve you better.
It includes:
- What pages you visit
- How long you stay on a page
- Whether you complete a journaling prompt, course, or activity
- Device and browser details
- General geographic location (via IP address)
💡 We never track your identity for profit, nor use tracking to manipulate behavior. Every insight we gather is in service of your growth and comfort.
🧘 What We Track (And Why)
We only track data that helps us improve your experience or support your spiritual growth.
✅ We Track:
| Type of Data | Examples | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Usage Analytics | Pages visited, session duration, clicks | To improve content and usability |
| Emotional Progress | Mood journaling, daily check-ins | To reflect your journey back to you |
| Spiritual Engagement | Which courses you use or finish | To suggest content that fits your pace |
| Device Information | Browser, OS, screen size | To make the platform smooth across devices |
We do not track your private AI conversations for commercial use. They are treated with the same sacredness as a personal diary.
🍪 Use of Cookies
Cookies are small files stored on your device. They help us:
- Remember your login status
- Keep track of your preferences
- Analyze which areas of the site need improvement
You can control or delete cookies anytime from your browser settings.
🧠 AI Interaction Logs
Some anonymized data from your AI conversations may be stored temporarily to:
- Improve spiritual response quality
- Identify technical issues or misunderstandings
- Fine-tune the chatbot’s understanding of tone and context
We do not use your chat history for advertising or profiling. You may request deletion of your chat data anytime.
🔁 Third-Party Tools We May Use
We may use privacy-conscious tools such as:
- Fathom Analytics or Plausible (anonymous, cookie-less analytics)
- Google Analytics (with IP anonymization)
- CRM or Email Marketing Tools (for those who opt in)
- AI services (like OpenAI) that process input securely and transiently
These tools are only used to enhance your experience, not extract value from you.
❌ What We Never Track
We do not:
- Use third-party advertising trackers
- Sell your personal or spiritual data
- Track you across other websites
- Use heatmaps or invasive session replays
Your digital path should be as private as your spiritual path.
🔓 Your Control
You are always in control of your data tracking settings.
You can:
- Turn off cookies in your browser
- Opt out of analytics (where supported)
- Request complete deletion of your usage and tracking data
- Contact us anytime to review what we’ve collected (if anything)
