Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Genesis ("the App"), developed by StableVersionApps, handles your information. We built Genesis with one guiding belief: your data belongs to you. This policy explains what data the App works with, how it stays on your device, and what permissions are needed — so you can use Genesis with complete confidence.

By using Genesis, you acknowledge and agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Our Privacy Principles

Genesis is built on a local-first, privacy-first architecture. Here is what that means in practice:

• All your data is stored locally on your device using encrypted databases.
• There is no cloud synchronization unless you explicitly opt in (in future updates).
• We do not collect, transmit, or store your data on external servers.
• There is no tracking, analytics, or behavioral profiling.
• There are no advertisements or third-party data sharing.
• AI processing runs entirely on your device using local models.

Your data never leaves your device without your explicit consent.

2. Data Collection & Storage

2.1 What Data Is Stored Locally

Genesis stores the following types of data on your device to power its features:

• Notes & Documents: Text notes, document attachments, photos, and files you create or import.
• Tasks & Reminders: Task lists, time-based reminders, location-based reminders, and geofences.
• Voice Recordings: Audio recordings for voice notes — stored locally, never transmitted.
• AI Conversations: Chat history with the local AI assistant — processed entirely on-device.
• User Settings: App preferences, theme settings, and notification preferences.
• Location Data: Geographic coordinates used for location-based reminders — stored locally only.

This data is stored in:

• SQLite databases (encrypted with SQLCipher when enabled).
• Device file system (for media attachments).
• Secure keychain/keystore (for encryption keys and sensitive settings).

2.2 What We Do Not Collect

Genesis does not collect, transmit, or store:

• Personal identifiable information (PII) beyond what you choose to enter.
• Device fingerprints or tracking identifiers.
• Usage analytics or behavioral data.
• Location history beyond active geofence requirements.
• Voice recordings or transcriptions on external servers.
• AI conversation history on external servers.

3. Device Permissions

Genesis requests only the permissions necessary to deliver its features. Every permission is used exclusively for local processing — nothing is sent to external servers. Here is a transparent breakdown:

3.1 Camera

Used for scanning documents and capturing photos to attach to notes. All images are stored locally on your device. No images are uploaded to any server, and you control when the camera is activated.

3.2 Microphone

Used for recording voice notes and real-time voice transcription with the AI assistant. Audio recordings stay on your device. Voice transcription is powered by on-device Whisper AI — no audio is transmitted to cloud services.

3.3 Location

Used for location-based reminders and geofencing. Location data is stored locally and used exclusively for triggering reminders. Background location access is only active when you have set up geofence-based reminders. There is no location tracking, history logging, or sharing with third parties.

3.4 Storage

Used for reading and saving document attachments, importing files, and exporting backups. Only files you explicitly select are accessed — there is no scanning or indexing of your device storage.

3.5 Notifications

Used for time-based reminders, location-based alerts, and task due date notifications. All notifications are generated locally on your device with no push notification servers involved.

3.6 Foreground Service & Wake Lock

Used to reliably run background location monitoring for geofences and ensure AI model processing completes during conversations.

4. AI & Machine Learning

Genesis uses local AI models that run entirely on your device — providing powerful features without compromising your privacy.

4.1 Voice Transcription

Powered by OpenAI Whisper (open-source). Processing is 100% on-device. No internet is required, and audio never leaves your device.

4.2 AI Assistant

Powered by open-source LLaMA, Qwen, or SmolLM model variants. Processing is 100% on-device with no cloud API calls. Conversation history is stored locally only.

4.3 Future Cloud AI Features

If future versions introduce optional cloud-based AI features (such as advanced model integrations), they will be explicitly opt-in, clearly disclosed before any data is transmitted, and entirely optional — you will always be able to use Genesis without them.

5. Data Security

We take the security of your data seriously. Genesis employs multiple layers of protection:

5.1 Encryption

• SQLite databases can be encrypted using SQLCipher (industry-standard AES-256).
• Sensitive settings are stored in the iOS Keychain or Android Keystore.
• File attachments are protected by your device's built-in encryption.

5.2 Data Isolation

• App data is sandboxed by the operating system.
• No data sharing between apps (except when you explicitly export).
• Secure deletion is used when you remove content.

5.3 Authentication

• Optional biometric authentication (Face ID / Fingerprint) to protect the App.
• App-level PIN protection (planned for a future update).
• No passwords or authentication data is sent to servers.

6. Third-Party Services

Genesis currently does not integrate with any third-party services for analytics, tracking, crash reporting, advertising, cloud storage, or push notifications.

If future updates introduce optional third-party integrations, this policy will be updated with clear disclosure of what services are used, what data (if any) is shared, and how you can opt out.

7. Data Retention & Deletion

You have full control over your data at all times:

• Delete individual notes, tasks, or conversations anytime from within the App.
• Clear all data through App settings.
• Uninstalling the App removes all local data from your device.

Since Genesis stores everything locally, we have no access to your data and there are no server-side backups to manage. Deletion is immediate and permanent.

8. Children's Privacy

Genesis is not designed for or directed at children under 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has used the App and you have concerns about data, please contact us and we will assist you promptly.

9. International Compliance

Genesis's local-first architecture is inherently aligned with global privacy standards:

• GDPR (European Union): All data stored locally with full right to erasure.
• CCPA (California): No data sale or sharing with third parties.
• DPDPA (India): Local-first design ensures data sovereignty and residency.
• Other jurisdictions: Compliant through local-only architecture by design.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect new features, permissions, legal requirements, or security improvements. Updated policies will be posted in the App and at:

stableversionapps.github.io/genesis-personal/privacy.html

We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the App after updates constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.

11. Your Rights

We believe in empowering our users. You have the right to:

• Access your data — it is all stored on your device and always accessible to you.
• Delete your data — through App settings or by uninstalling.
• Export your data — using the built-in backup and export features.
• Control permissions — through your device's system settings.
• Use the App offline — no internet connection is required.

12. Important Considerations

Genesis is designed to be a reliable productivity companion. A few important things to keep in mind:

• Since all data is stored locally, we cannot recover data lost due to device failure, accidental deletion, or device resets. We strongly recommend using the App's export and backup features regularly.
• AI features (transcription, assistant) use open-source models running on-device. While we strive for accuracy, AI outputs should be verified for critical decisions.
• Reminder and notification delivery depends on your device's operating system, battery settings, and permissions.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, StableVersionApps shall not be held liable for data loss, AI inaccuracies, missed notifications, or any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the use of the App. For complete details, please see our Terms & Conditions.

13. Open Source & Transparency

Genesis is built on trusted open-source technologies:

• React Native / Expo (UI framework)
• Whisper AI (voice transcription)
• LLaMA / Qwen (AI models)
• SQLite / SQLCipher (database)

We believe in transparency. Source code may be made available for community audit (subject to licensing).
