AURA

01 Legal

Privacy & Terms

The same text shown inside the app, so there is one version of this and not two.

Draft, pending legal review. Last updated 4 August 2026. It describes what the app actually does today; the wording will be tightened before a wider release, and the substance won't change without notice here.

Privacy Policy

Who we are

AURA is an on-device voice assistant that can see your screen and perform actions for you when you ask it to.

No AURA server ever receives your content

There is no AURA-operated server that receives, stores, or processes your voice, screen content, messages, or files. Everything AURA does runs directly on your phone, or is sent directly from your phone to an AI provider you choose and configure with your own API key ("Bring Your Own Key").

AURA does operate one small backend, and it holds no content: an anonymous record of the app itself — which phone model and Android version it is running on, which AURA version, and when it last ran. It exists so we know which devices a fix has actually reached, and which ones a change would break. It is listed in full under anonymous diagnostics below, and you can switch it off.

What AURA processes, and where it goes

  • Voice — audio you speak is transcribed so AURA can understand commands.
  • Screen content — while running a task, AURA reads on-screen elements to decide what to tap or type. Banking and payment apps are always blocked.
  • App inventory (only when you run "Scan for sensitive apps") — the names and package IDs of your installed apps are sent to your configured AI provider once, to suggest which ones to restrict. You review every suggestion before it takes effect.
  • Notifications & media (only if you grant access) — read to answer questions and perform actions you request. Banking and security notifications are filtered out before AURA ever sees them.
  • Contacts (only if you grant access) — matched on-device to find a number when you say "message <name>". Contact numbers are never sent anywhere.

Everything above — voice, screen content, app inventory — goes only to the AI provider (for example Google Gemini, Groq, OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, or a custom endpoint) that you configured with your own key, and only the minimum needed to complete the request you asked for. AURA does not see, log, or retain a copy of it beyond what's needed to complete that request.

Third-party AI providers — your key, their responsibility

Entering an API key creates a direct relationship between your device and that provider — AURA is not a party to it. That provider's own privacy policy and terms govern what they do with anything you send them (retention, training use, regional storage, etc.), and AURA has no visibility into or control over their practices. Choose your provider carefully and review their policy before use. AURA is not responsible for a third-party provider's handling of your data — that risk sits between you and the provider you selected, not with AURA.

Keys & secrets

Provider API keys you enter are stored in Android's encrypted, on-device preferences (EncryptedSharedPreferences) and are sent only to the provider you configured — never to AURA or anyone else.

Anonymous diagnostics — the complete list

AURA uses Firebase Crashlytics and Analytics for crashes and feature usage, and records one row per install so we can see the fleet. Together they collect, exhaustively:

  • a random per-install ID that resets when you uninstall
  • phone make, model and Android version
  • AURA's version, and whether it is a debug or release build
  • your language and time zone
  • how many times the app has been launched, and when it last ran
  • crash stack traces, and per-tool metrics (which tool ran, how long it took, whether it succeeded)

That is everything. Never your task content, screen content, tool arguments, tool results, messages, contacts, files, or location. There is no advertising ID, no IMEI, no serial number, and nothing that identifies you across apps or survives a reinstall.

Turn it off in Settings → Privacy & Data → "Share anonymous diagnostics". That stops all future reporting. To have an already-recorded row deleted, email us — the app deliberately cannot delete rows itself, because an app that could delete its own row could be made to delete someone else's.

Data we sell

None. AURA does not sell your data, and never will.

Your controls

Revoke any permission in Android Settings at any time. Clear stored memory, learnings and activity logs from within the app. Remove a provider key at any time to stop that provider from receiving anything further.

Terms of Service

Acceptable use

Use AURA only for lawful purposes, and only to automate things you are allowed to do on your own device and accounts. Do not use AURA to bypass security controls or to access accounts that are not yours.

You bring your own AI provider

AURA requires you to configure your own API key with a third-party AI provider (for example Google Gemini). That provider's terms of service and privacy policy apply to everything they receive from your device through AURA, in addition to these terms. You are solely responsible for choosing a provider, complying with their terms, and any cost, quota, or data-handling consequences of that choice. AURA has no relationship with, and exercises no control over, your chosen provider.

AI can make mistakes

AURA is powered by AI and can misunderstand instructions or act incorrectly. Always review important or irreversible actions. Sensitive actions ask for your confirmation before proceeding, and banking/payment apps are hard-blocked at the OS level.

No warranty, limitation of liability

AURA is provided "AS IS", without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the developer is not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the app, from any action AURA takes on your instruction, or from any third-party AI provider's handling of data you sent them. You use AURA, and any provider you configure, entirely at your own risk.

Changes

These terms may be updated; continued use after an update means you accept the new version.
