Declared, never inferred.

ARA is built on a single principle: emotional data belongs to the person it came from, and it should only ever exist when that person chose to share it.

We do not use facial recognition, camera analysis, voice-emotion detection, or inferred biometric affect. We do not scrape emotional signals from your device or your content.

• Color Pulse selections you make during Quick and Deep Pulse check-ins
• Optional state labels, shape, touch, timing, smell archetype and context you add to a Deep Pulse
• Resonance interactions you take on content (voluntary, tap-based)
• Session timestamps used to time the next pulse and prevent fatigue
• Account information you provide during sign-in

Audio in livestreams is processed only for real-time transcription and is not stored. Video content you post is stored for playback. With your consent, Expand Emotionally may process content context to reflect your reaction; this is not facial or voice-emotion detection.

• No facial recognition or camera-based emotion inference
• No voice-emotion analysis
• No biometric emotion inference; account-integrity checks are separate from emotional expression
• No emotional surveillance or individual emotional targeting
• No inference of health, mental health, or clinical state

• Personalize your own reflections and pulse rhythm
• Power RAE, only after you give explicit, versioned consent
• Give creators aggregate emotional insight about their audience, never individual data
• Use aggregate context for platform presentation, not individual emotional targeting
• Improve the ARA platform and the underlying signal infrastructure

• Export your full emotional history at any time
• Delete individual RAE reflections or clear your entire history
• Purge every emotional signal linked to your account permanently
• Revoke RAE consent to stop future personal generation; deletion is a separate action
• Adjust how long RAE retains your emotional patterns

We never sell individual emotional data. Partners who build on ARA receive aggregate signal streams only, never individual profiles, never identifiable state.

Every consent grant is versioned, timestamped, and revocable. If we change how we process data in a way that requires new consent, we ask again, we do not opt you in by default.
