Privacy Policy

Affluma gives you ways to read, personalize, save and practice affirmations. This policy explains which information stays in your browser, which information reaches our website, and the choices you have. Contact hello@affluma.com with privacy questions.

Information that stays on your device

Personal practice pages may ask for an optional full name so they can greet you. This welcome name stays in this browser; it is not submitted to WordPress or included in analytics. You can skip the question, edit the local name or remove it with Delete my data. An explicit local backup may include the name, so keep backups private.

Personalized suggestions and the set collector use the numbered affirmation lists in published public articles. Matching uses the articles’ assigned topics, categories and tags. If nothing matches, the tool explains this rather than inventing substitute phrases. Selected topic identifiers are sent to our website to find matching published wording and may appear in request logs; free writing and personal edits stay in your browser. No text is sent to an outside artificial intelligence service. Saving a set, favorite, practice record or preference uses browser storage. Named-set backups contain your wording and answers, so keep exported files somewhere you trust.

Studio wallpapers are composed on your device. Your chosen colors, text and locally created image do not need to be uploaded to produce the PNG download. Personal text and PDF downloads are created in the browser from the content you select. Public article PDFs are generated in server memory and sent directly to you, without retaining a PDF copy. Any files in Affluma’s reserved temporary-export folder are removed after seven days by scheduled cleanup; hosting scheduling can delay a cleanup run. A download may remain in your device’s files, cloud backup or photo library according to your own settings.

Recording requires your explicit microphone permission and a separate action to start. Completed recordings and rendered audio are saved in the browser’s local database when storage is available. If saving fails, the interface explains that you need to download a copy. Affluma does not automatically upload your recordings or use them to copy another voice.

Local storage is not an encrypted personal vault or an account. Other people using the same browser, browser extensions with appropriate access, and other scripts or plugins running on this website’s origin may be able to access it. Clearing browser data, using a different device, private browsing or storage limits can remove saved material. Your local collection is not automatically synchronized between devices.

Information sent when you use the website

Page visits and search

Your browser contacts our hosting infrastructure to request pages and files. Hosting, delivery and security providers may process technical information such as an IP address, time, requested URL, browser details and error records to operate and protect the website. Search words are sent to the server to find matching public articles; they may appear in request or hosting logs. Avoid entering identifying, confidential or medical details into search.

Contact messages

When you send the contact form, we receive the fields you complete, such as your name, email address, subject and message. Required fields are marked. We use these details to handle your request and reply, not to enroll you in a marketing list. Your message is kept in a restricted administration inbox and may also be delivered through our email provider. Spam protection uses form tokens, timing checks, a hidden spam field and short-lived abuse controls. Validation feedback may be held briefly so we can explain a submission error.

Like and Love reactions

Choosing Like or Love creates a random identifier in that browser. The website stores a salted hash associated with that identifier, a reference to the public article or published phrase, your current reaction and its update time. It does not require your name or email. A browser can keep one current Like or Love reaction per article or phrase, change it or remove it. Administrators can see aggregate preferences; these counts are not verified people, testimonials or evidence that an affirmation produces an outcome.

Audio, gratitude and personal challenges

The built-in English voice engines and their sound resources are hosted by this website. When you choose Preview or Create audio, speech is generated in your browser from your selected words. The feature does not call a third-party speech API or transmit your affirmation text for synthesis. Voice-model files can be large; device caching and removal are controlled in Audio Studio. No separate voice plugin or activation is needed. Ten optional background sound beds are composed on your device.

Your gratitude journal, tags, personal challenge wording, day checks, saved Studio drafts and audio preferences are kept in this browser. Their contents are not uploaded to WordPress or included in analytics. If the optional aggregate reports are enabled, an action such as saving a new journal day or completing a challenge can increment a counter without sending the private words, journal date, goals or chosen preferences. Journal writing is saved automatically after edits when storage is available. A personal photo selected for a wallpaper is used in memory for the current page session; it is not uploaded to our Media Library or retained in a saved draft.

Sharing an achievement or a download is optional. Review its contents before using your device’s share menu. Installing the app does not create an account or cloud synchronization. Some browsers and installed apps keep separate storage areas. The My Device page offers storage-protection requests and a private backup; browser protection is not guaranteed. Audio files and offline article copies are managed separately.

Optional reminders and timezone

Your local day is detected automatically. A trusted hosting GeoIP integration may supply an approximate time zone from the connection; otherwise Affluma uses the browser’s time zone. A VPN, travel or device settings can affect the result. There is no visitor time-zone selector and no precise location permission is required.

Browser reminders require your explicit notification permission and a separate subscription action. Our server then stores the push endpoint, a hashed management token, your chosen reminder time and automatically detected time zone, and technical delivery timestamps. The browser’s push service processes the delivery request. Reminder messages are generic: your affirmations, goals and journal writing are not included. A website visit is not consent to notifications.

The browser keeps the management token needed to update or cancel its subscription. Each server subscription is set to expire 180 days after it is created or successfully renewed. Returning to a reminder panel can renew an active subscription after seven days. Scheduled cleanup removes expired records when the website scheduler runs; a website outage or disabled plugin can delay deletion. Records are also removed after the push service reports an invalid endpoint, after repeated delivery failures, or when you successfully turn reminders off in their controls.

Revoking browser notification permission stops notifications in that browser. The server record may remain until a later check, failed delivery or expiry cleanup removes it. Deleting a local practice backup or clearing browser data does not itself send a reminder cancellation request. Use Reminders to turn off the subscription before clearing its browser data when possible.

The calendar option downloads 180 dated occurrences as a file you choose to import. That copy follows your calendar’s settings and is separate from browser notifications. Delete or change it in your calendar; turning off website reminders does not remove imported calendar events.

Optional usage analytics

Affluma’s built-in analytics is off by default. If enabled, it collects aggregate page and interaction counts, such as a set save, audio or PDF action, journal save, reminder choice, scroll milestone or challenge completion event, to help improve the website. It does not record builder answers, private affirmation text, recordings, raw search terms, complete referrer URLs or IP addresses in the analytics tables. Short-lived hashed abuse controls are separate from the reports. Counts are approximate events, not a verified count of individual people.

The built-in collector respects supported Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals and provides a browser-level opt-out. Use Privacy Choices to manage this control. An opt-out affects future collection in that browser and does not identify or remove an already aggregated count. Clearing browser storage can remove the preference.

If the website owner enables browser activity reports, you may separately allow a random browser identifier to connect your usage events. No identifier for these reports is created before that choice. The server keeps a salted hash and event references, allowing an administrator to see activity for a browser identified by a random code, such as article views, PDF or audio downloads, journal-save counts and challenge actions. Reports do not include your welcome name, journal text, recordings, private affirmation wording or personal preference answers. These are browser/device counts, not verified people; different devices can count separately.

Turning off analytics or revoking browser reports clears that browser’s analytics identifier and stops future association. Previously recorded rows expire under the configured retention policy or an administrator can purge them. Download metrics record successful preparation and handoff to the browser, not proof that a file was saved by the operating system or later opened.

Advertising and external content

Advertising may appear on public editorial pages. Affluma’s private builder, set collector, Studio, journal, device, reminder and personal challenge workspaces do not contain built-in advertising placements. An advertisement may be a hosted image or content supplied by another provider. External embedded advertising is loaded after you choose to load it; once loaded, that provider may receive technical information and use its own storage. A simple image advertisement or outbound link has different behavior from an embedded network advertisement.

Advertising providers, external websites and sharing destinations have their own notices. Consent for an optional service is not consent for every other service. Any additional consent choices required for a particular region or advertising arrangement should be provided when that service is offered. See the Cookie and Browser Storage Policy.

Why we use information and who receives it

We use information to provide features you request, answer messages, maintain security, manage reactions and, when selected, improve the service or deliver optional advertising. Where data protection law requires a lawful basis, the relevant basis depends on the purpose: your consent for optional processing where required; steps needed to provide a requested service; our legitimate interests in operating a secure, useful website where permitted; or a legal obligation. Our security and service-improvement interests do not remove your applicable rights.

Service providers may include hosting and security companies, email delivery services and, when used, an advertising provider. We do not automatically publish contact messages or personal Studio content. We may disclose information when legally required or reasonably necessary to address misuse, protect rights or respond to a valid legal request.

Providers may process information in a country different from yours. Applicable arrangements depend on the provider, service region and operator’s location. Contact us for the current provider details and, where required by law, the transfer basis and safeguards. We do not claim that browser storage or a downloadable app removes cross-border processing from normal website requests.

How long information is kept

The standard contact-inbox retention is 90 days. Copies in email, security logs or backups may follow the relevant provider’s retention schedule or be kept longer when needed to resolve a request, dispute or legal obligation. Standard built-in aggregate, detailed and browser-activity analytics retention is 90 days; it can be configured between 30 and 365 days. Event de-duplication receipts are kept for two days. Current reaction records expire after 365 days without an update. Short-lived validation and abuse-control records expire sooner according to their purpose.

Local favorites, named sets, saved recordings, preferences and downloaded files remain under your browser or device’s control until you remove them, storage is cleared or the browser evicts them. Offline copies can be stale and can be cleared from the app’s controls. Removing local copies does not delete files you separately downloaded, emailed or backed up.

Your choices and rights

You can decline optional audio or embedded content, change a reaction, remove saved material, export available local sets and turn off optional analytics. Where applicable law gives you a right to object, you may object to processing based on our legitimate interests or to direct marketing. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it for future processing. Depending on your location and circumstances, you may also request access, correction, deletion, restriction or portability of personal information, and complain to your relevant data protection authority.

Email hello@affluma.com with the request and enough context to locate information we actually hold. We may need proportionate identity verification. We cannot locate a browser-only set by searching your email address, and an email address is not linked automatically to a reaction identifier. Do not send a password or an entire sensitive backup to prove ownership.

Children, updates and contact

Affluma is a general-audience service intended primarily for adults, not for children under 13. Older minors should use it with suitable parent or guardian involvement. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us so we can assess and address the situation.

The builder does not make legal or similarly significant decisions about you. It selects suggested wording; it does not diagnose, assess eligibility or create a psychological profile. We may update this policy when features or processing change. Material changes should be explained before a new optional processing choice is introduced. Questions can be sent to hello@affluma.com.
