Savor Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 8, 2026

In short: Savor is built around your intentions — not ads, not data brokerage, and not surprise sharing.

What Savor Is

Savor is a calm capture app for intentions — things you want to remember, organize, revisit, or act on later. On the surface it feels simple; underneath it is designed as a privacy-preserving layer for user-owned intent.

This policy covers savorapp.ai (our website and early-access signup) and the Savor mobile app for iOS and Android. Where website and app practices differ, we say so plainly.

Information We Collect

Email / Early Access Signup (Website)

When you submit your email on savorapp.ai (hero or footer waitlist), we collect:

We store leads in Google Firebase Firestore and may send a transactional welcome email through Resend. We also report a hashed version of your email to Meta Conversions API for marketing measurement when that integration is configured — not the raw email. See "Sale, sharing, and marketing measurement" for how this fits California privacy law.

App Account Information (Optional)

Savor works without an account. If you choose Sign in with Apple or Google (for sharing, backup, or workspaces), we receive:

Account records are stored in Firestore on our Google Cloud Run backend when you sign in.

Intent / Capture Content You Submit (App)

When you capture something in Savor, you may provide:

Personal captures are stored locally on your device (SQLite). Content sent for AI parsing or transcription travels to our API and, where applicable, to OpenAI. See "How user intent data works" below.

Product Usage Data (App)

We collect privacy-safe analytics through Mixpanel when analytics is enabled in your build:

Our logger enforces a whitelist of allowed keys and blocks content fields in production.

Device / App / Browser Data

Payment / Subscription Data

Savor does not currently process in-app purchases or subscriptions in the codebase we ship today. If we add paid features later, purchases would be handled by Apple App Store or Google Play; we would update this policy before launch.

What We Do Not Do

How We Use Information

Third-Party Services / Subprocessors

How User Intent Data Works

Savor's intention layer is straightforward: you capture something in the moment, the app holds it outside your head, and brings it back when it is time to act — across Now, Next, Later, and Someday buckets, with gentle nudges if you enable notifications.

What Stays on Your Device

What Is Processed Externally (Only When You Use the Feature)

What Is Not Shared Externally

When We Use AI Providers

When Savor uses an AI provider, the provider may receive the specific text, image, or audio you asked Savor to process. We design these requests so they do not include your full Savor database and, where possible, do not include direct identity information such as your name, email address, waitlist record, analytics ID (anon_id), or full account profile.

Savor uses third-party AI services — today, primarily OpenAI — only when you use a feature that needs them: voice transcription, photo parsing, or typed intent parsing.

What May Be Sent

These are feature-specific payloads — the capture content for that action, not your entire task history.

Voice Captures

Voice is central to Savor. When you record a voice input, we convert it to text so we can understand your intention and help you capture it as structured reminders. Here is what happens:

  1. Your device records a temporary audio file and sends it to our API over an encrypted connection.
  2. Our API sends that audio to a third-party transcription service (today, OpenAI Whisper) to produce text.
  3. The resulting transcript is sent through our parsing service to extract tasks, dates, and related fields.
  4. Structured results are returned to your device and stored locally in your app database. The audio file is deleted on your device and on our servers after transcription completes.

We use voice recordings to operate the voice-capture feature — transcription and parsing for that request — not to retain audio for later model training or to build advertising profiles. Product analytics may record content-free metadata such as recording duration and word count; we do not include audio or transcript text in analytics events.

Biometrics: We do not create voiceprints or other biometric identifiers from your recordings, and we do not use your voice to identify you. Voice processing is speech-to-text for capture — not speaker recognition. If we ever introduced voiceprint or biometric voice identification, we would require appropriate notice and consent first.

Identity Separation and Data Minimization

Ordinary AI parsing requests are not sent with your account profile. We avoid attaching unnecessary identity information where the feature does not require it, including:

This is deliberate data minimization — not a claim that every request is anonymous. Content you submit may still contain personal details if you include them in what you say, type, or photograph.

How It Is Transmitted

Data moves between your device, our servers (Google Cloud Run), and the AI provider over encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS). OpenAI API keys are kept on our backend; production app builds are configured not to embed those keys in the client.

What Savor Does After Processing

On our API, voice audio and photos are generally handled as request-time inputs for that capture — we do not intend to keep them as a standing content archive on our servers. Parsed results are returned to your device; the personal copy of your intents stays in your local database unless you use optional sharing features.

AI Model Training

On Savor's side: We do not use your private Savor Content to train general-purpose AI models, and we do not currently offer a setting to opt in to such training. We do not build training datasets from your captures, voice audio, transcripts, photos, or task text.

When you use AI-assisted capture: Third-party providers (today, primarily OpenAI) process the specific text, image, or audio you submit for that request — so Savor can transcribe or parse it for you. That is feature operation, not Savor training a model on your content. Provider training and retention rules are separate; see "Provider policies and retention controls" below.

How we improve reliability and product experience instead: We use aggregated, content-free usage data — for example, whether a capture succeeded, how long parsing took, how many tasks were created, which feature was used, and app version or platform. We do not include task titles, notes, voice transcripts, photos, or other capture content in analytics events.

Our servers also log operational metrics about AI requests (for example, model used, latency, transcript word count, and tasks produced) to monitor quality and cost. These logs are not intended to retain the text of your captures as a standing archive. If you choose to send an error report, we may receive redacted diagnostic information (such as error messages and stack traces).

Future opt-in: If we ever introduce an optional program to use Savor Content for model training, we will ask for your explicit consent first, describe what would be included, and explain how you can withdraw consent.

Provider Policies and Retention Controls

OpenAI's published API data usage policies state that API customer data is not used to train OpenAI's models unless the customer has opted in. We rely on that published policy; we do not independently audit provider systems.

Where the OpenAI API supports it, our backend sets request options that decline optional provider storage for model evaluation and distillation (for example, store: false on chat-completions calls). We may also use OpenAI account-level Zero Data Retention (ZDR) settings where enabled, to further reduce provider-side retention windows. These controls reduce certain optional retention paths, but they are not the same as zero data retention overall — providers may still process and retain data for limited periods under their own policies, security, and legal obligations.

To avoid sending capture content to AI providers, use manual entry features that do not trigger AI parsing, voice transcription, photo scanning, or summarization.

Data Retention

Deletion and Your Rights

In the App

By Email

Email support@savorapp.ai to request:

We will verify the request and respond within a reasonable timeframe. Some operational logs may be retained where required for security, fraud prevention, or legal obligations.

Sale, Sharing, and Marketing Measurement

Savor's commitment is simple: we do not sell your information in the ordinary sense — we do not exchange personal information for money, and we do not operate a data-brokerage business. This section explains how that commitment fits together with (a) private Savor Content and (b) limited website marketing measurement that some privacy laws treat as "sharing" or, in some cases, a "sale."

What We Mean by Personal Information

Personal information means information that identifies, relates to, or could reasonably be linked with you or your household — for example, email address, IP address, device identifiers, or account details.

Private Savor Content means the intentions you capture in the app — typed text, voice-derived text, photos, notes, and structured task fields — whether stored on your device or processed through our APIs. It is a subset of personal information, but the protections below apply to all personal information, not only capture content.

What We Do Not Sell or Share for Advertising

Website Marketing Measurement (Pixels, SDKs, and Campaign Effectiveness)

On savorapp.ai, when Meta Pixel and Conversions API are configured, we disclose limited personal information to Meta to measure whether our own marketing works — for example, page views, signup conversions, hashed email on lead events, browser cookies (_fbp, _fbc), IP address, and user agent. This helps us understand campaign effectiveness; it is not used to monetize or broker your private Savor Content.

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), certain disclosures to advertising and analytics platforms for cross-context behavioral advertising can be classified as sharing — and, in some interpretations, as a sale — even when we receive no payment. We describe this plainly so it is not hidden behind a narrower "we don't sell private Savor Content" statement.

In the mobile app, product analytics (Mixpanel) are designed to be content-free. The Meta SDK on iOS may send standard activation events when you redeem an early-access invite, only after App Tracking Transparency where required — not your capture content.

Categories Disclosed for Website Marketing (Last 12 Months)

When Meta measurement is enabled on the website, we may disclose:

Recipient: Meta Platforms (Pixel + Conversions API). Purpose: measure Savor's own advertising and signup funnel effectiveness — not to sell or broker private Savor Content.

Your Choices (Including California Residents)

If you are a California resident, you may have the right to:

To opt out of sale/sharing for website marketing measurement, email support@savorapp.ai with the subject line California Privacy — Do Not Sell or Share. Include the email address you used on the waitlist, if any. We will honor verified requests within the timeframes required by law.

If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as a request to opt out of sale/sharing where we can technically honor it on savorapp.ai. You can also limit cookies through your browser settings.

Our plain-English position: we do not sell your information for money, and we do not sell or share your private Savor Content for advertising. We do use limited website disclosures to Meta for marketing measurement, and we describe that here because California law may classify it as sharing — even when that is not what people ordinarily mean by "selling your data."

Security

No method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure. We work to protect your information and review our practices as the product grows.

Children's Privacy

Savor is a general-audience productivity tool, not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the website waitlist without appropriate consent.

Voice and camera features in the app may send content for processing; parents can deny those permissions in device Settings and children can still type captures. If you believe we have collected a child's personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as features evolve (for example, optional accounts, sharing, or subscriptions). We will update the "Last updated" date at the top. Material changes may also be noted in the app or on this page.
