1. Data Controller, Data Protection Officer (DPO), and Contact

1.1. The Data Controller responsible for processing your personal data within Consigo is:

  • Data Controller: Jeff Monteiro (Individual Taxpayer Registry CPF No. 214.402.918-02)
  • Location: São Paulo, SP, Brazil
  • Data Protection Officer (DPO) and Privacy Contact Email: oi.jeffmonteiro@gmail.com

1.2. To exercise your privacy rights or submit any inquiry regarding this Policy, please email our DPO at the address above. Requests are handled within applicable statutory timeframes.


2. Core Principle: Minimization and Offline-First Operation

2.1. Consigo is engineered according to Privacy by Design and Privacy by Default standards.

  • Users without cloud backup (Free Plan): All habit data, completion history, notes, and photos remain saved exclusively in your device's local memory and encrypted database. This data is never sent to, read by, or mirrored on our cloud servers.
  • Users with active sync (Paid Plans PRO, ULTRA, CREATOR): Data uploaded to our Firebase (Google Cloud) infrastructure acts strictly as an encrypted backup mirror to enable multi-device continuity, history recovery, and account safety.

3. Personal Data Collected by Plan and Feature

Data collection is strictly limited to the features you subscribe to and use:

3.1. Technical and Usage Data Collected Across All Plans

  • Pseudonymous Installation Identifier: A locally generated identifier (anonymousCid) used to track usage metrics without linking to your real-world identity;
  • Product Telemetry and Performance Diagnostics: App version, device model, OS version (iOS/Android), system language, and aggregated feature metrics (e.g., number of habits completed, streak milestones, navigation flows). Handled via Mixpanel in a de-identified format (never containing message text or photos).

3.2. Additional Data Processed in the Free Plan

  • Advertising Identifiers: Mobile advertising ID (IDFA on Apple or GAID on Android), IP address, and ad interaction metrics, processed by Google AdMob subject to user consent and operating system privacy controls (such as App Tracking Transparency on iOS).

3.3. Additional Data Processed in Paid Plans (PRO, ULTRA, CREATOR)

  • Profile Information: Display name, username, verified mobile phone number (via SMS OTP), verified email address (via email OTP), and profile avatar picture;
  • Habit Data: Habit titles, scheduling frequencies, custom templates, completion history logs, and streak defense shields;
  • Photo Records: Photos taken during habit completions that the user chooses to store, synced to private cloud storage;
  • AI Coach Agent Interactions: Chat messages exchanged with the assistant, contextual habit signals, lifestyle onboarding quiz answers, conversational memory items, and feedback ratings.

4. Sensitive Personal Data and Emotional Signals

4.1. Recognition of Sensitive Data: In conversational interactions with the AI Coach Agent, users may voluntarily share reflections regarding emotional states, mood fluctuations, anxiety, personal stress, and lifestyle hurdles. Consigo treats such information with heightened security safeguards as SENSITIVE PERSONAL DATA (under Article 11 of LGPD and Article 9 of GDPR).

4.2. Strict Purpose: This information is processed exclusively to provide personalized, supportive, and context-aware conversational feedback to assist in daily habit discipline.

4.3. In-Chat Fact Erasure: Users may instruct the AI Coach Agent directly within the chat to erase specific recorded memories or facts (via the forgetUserFact command), triggering immediate deletion of that memory.


5. Purposes of Processing and Legal Bases (LGPD, GDPR, and Global Laws)

In accordance with Article 9 of LGPD and Article 13 of GDPR, the table below maps our processing activities to their respective legal bases:

6. Access to Camera, Photo Library, and Image Synchronization

6.1. Consigo requests camera and photo library access solely to allow voluntary capture and attachment of photos to habit completion cards.

6.2. Access is requested via operating system dialogs and can be adjusted or revoked at any time in device privacy settings.

6.3. Photo Policies:

  • Captured photos are never scanned for facial recognition or used to train computer vision models;
  • In paid plans with backup enabled, photos are synced to Google Cloud Storage under dedicated user directories ({uid}/history) protected by owner-only access rules;
  • In the free plan, photos never leave the local storage of the device.

7. Artificial Intelligence, LLM Providers, and No-Training Clause

7.1. To deliver the conversational AI Coach Agent experience, messages are securely proxied via backend functions to leading Large Language Model (LLM) providers: OpenAI, LLC and Groq, Inc.

7.2. EXPRESS COMMITMENT: NO TRAINING ON USER DATA:

Our enterprise API agreements with our AI infrastructure providers strictly stipulate that:

  1. Prompts, conversational text, habit reflections, and user inputs ARE NOT USED by OpenAI, Groq, or any third party to train, retrain, fine-tune, or improve general or commercial foundation models;
  2. Transmitted data is processed ephemerally solely to generate the immediate text completion returned to the user;
  3. Consigo never sells or monetizes user conversation data.

7.3. Internal Product Quality Reviews (Wave 3) and Right to Opt-Out:

  • To monitor technical accuracy and prevent hallucinations, Consigo's engineering team may perform internal reviews on de-identified AI interactions;
  • Mandatory De-identification: Texts are permanently separated from user identity and assigned a non-reversible pseudonym (R-<hash>), automatically stripping names, emails, and phone numbers. Photos are NEVER included in internal quality reviews;
  • Every internal review generates an audit log entry;
  • Instant Revocation in App: You can disable internal AI review sharing at any time in the app under Account > Data Sharing. Toggling this off immediately stops future internal review access on our servers.

8. Data Sharing with Authorized Sub-processors

We never sell or rent your personal information. Data is shared only with technical service providers acting as sub-processors under strict contractual instructions:

Sub-processorCountryRole and PurposeProcessed Data
Google LLC (Firebase / Google Cloud)United StatesCloud infrastructure, Firestore database, Auth, Storage, and serverless Cloud FunctionsUser IDs, profile, habits, encrypted envelopes, photo backups
OpenAI, LLCUnited StatesNatural language processing API for the AI Coach AgentChat text and contextual routine data included in requests
Groq, Inc.United StatesHigh-speed AI inference routingSame as OpenAI (when active as inference provider)
Mixpanel, Inc.United StatesProduct analytics and app stability telemetryPseudonymous ID (anonymousCid), app version, aggregate event metrics (no text/photos)

Resend, Inc.United StatesTransactional verification emails (OTP)Recipient email address and temporary passcode (not stored)
APIDirectUnited StatesTechnical proxy for public Instagram creator bio checkPublicly checked username

9. Integration with Routine Creators (Lead Machine)

9.1. If you choose to import a habit routine published by a CREATOR plan user, the creator may require contact information in exchange for access ("Lead Machine").

9.2. Lead Machine Rules:

  • Explicit Prior Consent: Any routine requesting data presents an upfront screen specifying the exact data fields (e.g., Name, Phone, Email, progress milestones) and the creator's identity;
  • Legal Roles: Consigo acts solely as a secure transmission conduit. Once data is transferred to the creator's secure HTTPS webhook, the creator becomes an Independent Data Controller governed by their own privacy policy;
  • Creators are contractually bound by Consigo's Creator Terms of Service.

10. International Data Transfers and Safeguards

10.1. Because our cloud infrastructure providers are based globally, personal data may be transferred to and stored on servers outside your home country, primarily in the United States.

10.2. Transfer Safeguards:

  • For transfers from Brazil: We implement safeguards under LGPD Article 33 and ANPD Resolution CD/ANPD No. 19/2024, utilizing Standard Contractual Clauses;
  • For transfers from the EU/UK: Transfers are governed by the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (where applicable).

11. Information Security and Encryption at Rest (Double Envelope)

Consigo uses robust technical safeguards to protect your personal data:

11.1. On-Device Double Envelope Encryption at Rest:

Sensitive account information (profile, habits, completion logs, AI conversations, memories, and emotional signals) is encrypted on your device using AES-256-GCM with Authenticated Associated Data (AAD). The primary Data Encryption Key (DEK) is protected by device hardware keystores (Apple Keychain / Android Keystore).

11.2. Cloud Mirror Encryption:

For paid tier cloud backups, data rests in Firestore within encrypted envelopes. Server-side administrators cannot read conversations or emotional reflections in plaintext without user keys.

11.3. Encryption in Transit:

All data in transit between your mobile device, our cloud services, and AI providers is encrypted using TLS 1.3 or TLS 1.2.

11.4. Log Hygiene (Wave 1):

Cloud logging policies actively exclude user conversational content. No chat text or intimate reflections are written to persistent technical server logs.


12. Retention Periods, Data Purging, and Post-Cancellation Grace Period

Data is retained only as long as necessary to serve its legitimate operational purposes:

Data CategoryRetention PeriodPurge Mechanism
Local App DataUntil uninstallation or device storage clearPermanently wiped from device storage
Active Cloud MirrorFor the duration of an active paid subscriptionContinuously updated and synced
Post-Cancellation Cloud Mirror (Churn)90 (ninety) days following the end of the paid billing periodAutomatically purged from cloud servers after 90 days; local device data remains
Cloud Photo BackupsMaintained while backup plan is active; purged 90 days post-cancellationDeleted from Google Cloud Storage on cloud purge or account deletion
System Backups (GCS)Up to 90 daysOverwritten cyclically via automated bucket lifecycle
Security Audit LogsUp to 5 (five) yearsMaintained in access-controlled audit buckets for regulatory compliance
Telematics Access Logs6 (six) monthsRetained pursuant to Brazilian MCI Art. 15 requirements
Cloud Logging Diagnostic Logs30 daysAutomatically purged by Google Cloud Logging
