Privacy Policy
Effective July 19, 2026
Aura is designed to work without an account, advertising profile, or analytics tracker. This policy explains the limited information used to provide local UV forecasts, timers, and optional reminders.
Information Aura uses
- Location. If you choose to grant permission, Aura uses precise location to request current and forecast UV conditions and a nearby place name. Your coordinates are sent to Open-Meteo and, for place names, BigDataCloud or OpenStreetMap Nominatim. Aura does not use location for advertising or continuous background tracking.
- Interface motion. On supported iPhones, Aura reads device attitude on-device to move light across translucent interface edges. Motion samples are not stored, linked to you, or sent over the network, and updates stop when Aura is not visible.
- Preferences and sessions. Your selected skin type, SPF, activities, timer state, settings, recent session history, and a randomly generated device identifier are stored locally on your device or in your browser.
- Optional reminders. The iOS app schedules local notifications on your device. If you use web push in Aura’s browser version, the push subscription, random device identifier, browser user agent, and reminder schedule are sent to Aura’s Supabase service so the requested notification can be delivered.
What Aura does not do
Aura does not require an account, sell personal information, run third-party advertising, or use cross-app tracking. Version 1.0 does not access Apple Health or HealthKit.
Service providers
Aura relies on Open-Meteo for weather and UV forecasts, BigDataCloud and OpenStreetMap for place names, and Supabase for optional browser push delivery. Those providers process requests under their own privacy terms.
Retention and deletion
Local information remains until you delete the app, clear its site data, or reset the relevant browser storage. Browser push records are retained only as needed to operate requested reminders. You can revoke location or notification access at any time in iOS or browser settings. To request deletion of a browser push record, contact us with the short device code shown in Aura’s Settings.
Children and health information
Aura is a general wellness utility and is not directed to children under 13. It does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any condition. Its timing guidance is an estimate, not a measurement of UV exposure or medical advice.
Changes
If this policy changes materially, the updated version and effective date will be posted here.
