๐ ZIRA โ Privacy Policy
Effective date: May 18, 2026 ยท Last updated: May 18, 2026
Welcome to ZIRA. We are a spiritual companion app that respects your privacy as much as your inner journey. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have.
In short: we collect only what is necessary to provide spiritual readings (your name, birth date and place for astrology and numerology) and your conversation history with Zira AI. We do not sell your data, we do not show ads, and we do not share your data with third parties for marketing.
1. Who we are
ZIRA is operated by Alhassan Laabad (the "Developer", "we", "us", "our"). For any privacy-related question, please contact us at:
2. What data we collect
2.1 Information you provide
- Account information: first name (or chosen name), email address (if you sign in), language preference.
- Spiritual profile: date of birth, time of birth (optional), city of birth. This is required to calculate your astrological chart and numerological profile.
- Conversations with Zira: messages you exchange with our AI assistant, so Zira can remember your context across sessions and offer continuity.
- Token purchases: records of in-app purchases (processed by Google Play Billing โ we never see your payment details).
2.2 Information collected automatically
- Device information: device model, operating system version, app version, language settings.
- Usage information: features used, error logs, anonymized analytics to help us improve the app.
- Approximate location: only if you choose to provide your city for astrology calculations. We do not track your GPS location.
2.3 What we DO NOT collect
- We do not collect your GPS location in real time.
- We do not access your contacts, photos, microphone, or camera.
- We do not access other apps on your device.

3. How we use your data
We use your data only to:

- Enable Zira AI to remember your context and grow with you.
- Process in-app token purchases.
- Improve the app and fix bugs.
- Communicate with you about important updates or support requests.
4. Third-party services
To make ZIRA work, we rely on a few trusted third-party services:
- OpenAI: we send your messages to OpenAI's API to generate Zira's responses. OpenAI does not retain this data for training (we use the API with data retention disabled where applicable). See OpenAI Privacy Policy.
- Google Play Billing: handles token purchases. We never see your payment details. See Google Privacy Policy.
- Render (server hosting): runs our backend and stores your spiritual profile and conversation history securely. See Render Privacy Policy.
- Pinecone (vector database): stores anonymized embeddings of your conversations to give Zira long-term memory. No personal identifiers are sent. See Pinecone Privacy Policy.
We do not sell or rent your data to any third party.
5. Data storage and security
- Your data is stored on secure servers hosted by Render (PostgreSQL database) and Pinecone (vector database for memory).
- All communication between the app and our servers is encrypted (HTTPS/TLS).
- Passwords (if any) are hashed using industry-standard algorithms.
- We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data.
6. How long we keep your data
