Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 11, 2026

1. Overview

Defy Daily ("we," "us," "our") is a personal mastery, emotional awareness, and structured accountability application built around the A.D.V.I.C.E. growth framework, operated by AMCS LLC. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application and related services (the "Service"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and the confidentiality of your personal health and wellness data.

2. Information We Collect

Account Information

Email address, full name, phone number (optional), and authentication credentials. We use your email to identify your account and communicate with you about the Service.

Wellness & Journal Data

Mood check-in entries, journal entries and their content, habit logs, sobriety tracker data, assessment responses and scores, A.D.V.I.C.E. pillar snapshots, growth pathway progress, and weekly review reflections. This data is linked to your account and may include sensitive personal reflections.

Coach Interaction Data

Journal conversation threads, coach comments and responses, clinical notes (visible to coaches only), concern flags, support requests, and direct messages between you and your designated coach (Premium tier only).

Device & Usage Data

Timezone preference, app version, feature engagement metrics, and technical diagnostic data collected to improve Service performance and reliability.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • Provide and maintain the Service, including your personal wellness dashboard and tools
  • Generate AI-powered reflections, insights, and pattern analysis (SuperAgent features)
  • Enable your designated coach to review journal entries and provide personalized guidance (Premium tier)
  • Track and display your growth progress, milestones, and outcome measurements
  • Send in-app notifications, daily reminders, and weekly review prompts
  • Detect potential wellness concerns and alert your coach for follow-up (Premium tier)
  • Improve our assessments, analytics, and AI-driven features through aggregated, de-identified data
  • Communicate with you about account changes, new features, and policy updates
  • Process subscription payments and manage tier access (Standard and Premium tiers)

4. AI & Automated Processing

Defy Daily uses AI-powered features (SuperAgent) to generate reflection prompts, analyze journal themes, detect emotional patterns, and provide automated guidance. AI-generated content is automated and does not constitute human interaction, professional advice, or clinical assessment. AI-generated responses are clearly labeled as automated within the application. Your journal content is processed by AI systems to provide these features; you may disable AI features by using the Free tier or contacting support to opt out of AI processing.

5. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell your personal data. We share information only in the following circumstances:

  • Your Designated Coach: If you are on the Premium tier, your journal entries, assessments, mood data, and concern flags are visible to your assigned coach for the purpose of providing personalized guidance and oversight.
  • Service Providers: Third-party vendors who provide infrastructure, authentication, payment processing, and AI services under contractual data protection agreements.
  • Legal Compliance: When required by law, court order, or to protect the safety of users or others (see Section 7 — Emergency Disclosure).
  • Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, with notice to users.

6. Data Security

We use industry-standard security measures including encrypted data transmission (TLS), secure authentication, and role-based access controls. Access to your wellness data is restricted to you and, if you are on the Premium tier, your designated coach. Despite these measures, no method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Emergency Disclosure

Defy Daily is not an emergency monitoring or crisis intervention service. However, if we become aware of content that suggests an imminent risk of harm to yourself or others, we may disclose relevant information to emergency services or crisis intervention authorities as permitted by law. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, call 911 or contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline immediately.

8. Your Privacy Rights

  • Access: You can view all data linked to your account within the app at any time.
  • Export: You can export your journal entries, mood data, and assessment results from the Settings page.
  • Delete: You can permanently delete your account and all associated personal data at any time from Settings → Account → Delete Account. This action is irreversible.
  • Opt Out of AI: You can discontinue AI-powered features by downgrading to the Free tier or contacting support.
  • Restrict Coach Access: Downgrading from Premium to Standard or Free removes your coach's ability to view new journal entries and respond to them.

9. Data Retention

Your data is retained for as long as your account is active. When you permanently delete your account, we remove your personal data (journal entries, mood logs, assessments, habit logs, sobriety trackers, coach messages, and profile information) within 30 days, except where retention is required by law. Aggregated, de-identified data may be retained indefinitely for analytics and service improvement.

10. Children's Privacy

Defy Daily is not intended for individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact support so we can promptly delete it.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the app and posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
