5.5 Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Auri, our users, or others.

6.Data Security

Encryption in Transit

All data transmitted uses HTTPS/TLS encryption. OAuth flows employ PKCE for additional security.

Encryption at Rest

macOS Keychain for tokens, AES-256 via Google Cloud for cloud data, App Sandbox for local caches.

App Sandboxing

Restricted to user-selected files, HTTPS-only network, scoped Keychain access, and explicit Contacts permission.

Token Security

Short-lived access tokens, encrypted Keychain storage, 30-minute refresh buffer, per-executive scoping.

While we implement industry-standard security measures, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.

7.Data Retention

7.1 Active Use

We retain your data for as long as your account is active and as necessary to provide the Service.

7.2 Local Data

Locally stored data persists until you uninstall the application or manually clear the data. Specific retention periods include: email analytics (rolling window of up to 1,000 events), contact/presence cache (in-memory only, cleared on restart), travel advisory cache (1-hour TTL), news article cache (30-minute TTL), and calendar/email cache (refreshed each session).

7.3 Cloud Data

Cloud-stored data in Firebase Firestore is retained until you manually delete it, request account deletion, or we delete inactive accounts.

7.4 Email Tracking Data

Email tracking records are retained indefinitely unless you request deletion.

12.Analytics and Telemetry

Firebase Analytics is disabled

We do not collect app usage analytics through Firebase or any third-party analytics platform.

The Service does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs. Email analytics (response times, volume patterns, top contacts) are computed and stored entirely on your device and are not transmitted to us or any third party.
