Privacy at Cairn
Cairn is being built around personal memory. That means privacy has to be visible in the product, understandable before launch, and revisited as the app moves from waitlist to live service.
Waitlist now
We collect your email so we can send launch updates.
Memory later
The app is designed around user-visible self-care memory.
Control matters
Review, correction, and deletion controls are part of the plan.
What this page is
This is the current privacy overview for Cairn before public app access opens. It explains the product direction and the waitlist data we collect now.
Before the app launches, this page should be reviewed by counsel and expanded into the full privacy policy for the live product, including final vendors, retention periods, account controls, and store disclosures.
What we collect before launch
If you join the waitlist, we collect your email address, the source of the signup, and basic technical context needed to process the request and protect the form from misuse.
If you email us directly, we receive the information you choose to include in that message.
What Cairn memory means
Cairn is designed to remember self-care context you choose to share, such as mood, meals, sleep, cycle, plans, notes, preferences, and feedback on suggested actions.
The product goal is for that memory to be visible, editable, and deletable in the app, not hidden in a chat log.
How we expect to use data
- To send launch updates and early-access invitations.
- To operate the features you choose to use.
- To make care cards and suggestions more relevant to you.
- To maintain safety, reliability, abuse prevention, and support.
- To understand product quality in aggregated or de-identified ways.
How we think about sensitive data
Cairn may involve wellness and self-care signals such as mood, sleep, meals, and cycle. We treat that category as sensitive product context and design around data minimization, clear notice, and user control.
Cairn is a self-care product. It is not a doctor, therapist, emergency service, or licensed medical advice.
Sharing and service providers
We expect to use service providers for hosting, email delivery, analytics, security, support, payments, and app distribution. The full policy will identify final categories and explain how those providers are used.
We do not intend for Cairn memory to be a third-party advertising product. Final app-store privacy labels and data safety forms should match the actual app behavior at launch.
In-app notice and store disclosures
When the app is ready, privacy choices should appear where users make decisions, not only on this page. Sensitive or unexpected data collection should be explained before or when that collection begins.
Cairn will also need app-store privacy disclosures for iOS and Android that match the app's actual data collection, sharing, deletion, and security practices at launch.
Your controls
- Waitlist: email us to ask about your waitlist email.
- App memory: planned controls include review, correction, and deletion.
- Communications: launch emails should include unsubscribe controls.
Security and changes
We plan to use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards appropriate for a product that handles personal self-care context. No online service can promise perfect security.
We will update this page as the product, vendors, and launch plan become final.
