Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

ThePath is a mobile application developed and published by Novasen LLC, a Utah limited liability company. Our contact information is at the bottom of this policy.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

ThePath is designed from the ground up to be a private, offline application. We do not collect:

• Your name, email address, or any personal identifiers
• Your sobriety date or counter data
• Your mood check-in responses or journal entries
• Your trigger tags or personal notes
• Your accountability partner's name or phone number
• Your faith track selection or message preferences
• Your location or device GPS data
• Your usage patterns, analytics, or behavioral data
• Crash reports or diagnostic information
• Any health or medical information

3. How Your Data Is Stored

All data you enter into ThePath is stored locally on your device using SQLite — a local database that exists only on your phone. This data is:

• Never transmitted to any server, cloud service, or third party
• Never backed up to Novasen LLC systems
• Never shared with any person or organization
• Fully deleted when you uninstall the app

ThePath functions completely offline. An internet connection is not required to use any core feature of the app.

4. SMS and Accountability Partner Feature

ThePath includes an "I need support right now" feature that allows you to send an SMS message to an accountability partner you have designated. When you use this feature:

• The message is sent using your device's native SMS system
• Novasen LLC does not see, store, or have access to these messages
• Your accountability partner's phone number is stored only on your device
• Standard carrier SMS rates may apply depending on your phone plan

5. Third-Party Services

ThePath may include integration with Meeting Guide, a free app developed by Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc. that helps users find nearby AA and NA meetings. If you choose to open Meeting Guide from within ThePath:

• You are leaving ThePath and entering a separate application
• Novasen LLC has no control over Meeting Guide's privacy practices
• Please review Meeting Guide's own privacy policy at aa.org/meeting-guide-app for information about their data handling
• If Meeting Guide is not installed on your device, you will be directed to the appropriate app store to download it

ThePath uses RevenueCat to manage in-app subscription purchases. RevenueCat processes payment transactions on our behalf. RevenueCat may collect limited transaction data necessary to process your subscription. Please review RevenueCat's privacy policy at revenuecat.com/privacy for details.

6. Push Notifications

ThePath sends local push notifications for mood check-in reminders. These notifications are scheduled entirely on your device and do not require an internet connection or involve any data transmission to Novasen LLC.

7. Children's Privacy

ThePath is intended for users aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect any information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has used this app, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

8. In-App Purchases and Subscriptions

ThePath offers optional premium subscriptions processed through Google Play (Android) and the Apple App Store (iOS). All payment processing is handled entirely by Google and Apple respectively. Novasen LLC does not receive, store, or have access to your credit card or payment information. Subscription management, cancellation, and refund requests are handled through your respective app store account settings.

9. Changes to This Policy

If we make material changes to this privacy policy we will update the effective date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of ThePath after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of those changes.

10. Your Rights

Because ThePath does not collect personal data, there is nothing for us to provide, correct, or delete on our end. All of your data lives on your device and is fully within your control. You can delete all app data at any time by uninstalling ThePath from your device.

11. Disclaimer
