Kora is your personal AI assistant. This policy explains what data Kora
collects, why, and how it is kept safe. We only collect what we need to help
you, and we never sell your data.
Your data & safety
What we storeYour chat messages with Kora, a short “memory” of facts you choose to share (like your name or preferences), your reminders, notes and to-dos, saved birthdays, optional journal/mood entries and logged “wins”, and your app settings. Things like your location, calendar and notifications are used in the moment to answer you and are not stored.
Where it livesSecurely in Google Firebase (Firestore) under your account. You start as an anonymous guest; signing in with Google lets your data sync across devices.
How it’s protectedData is encrypted in transit and stored on Google’s secure infrastructure. We never sell your data or share it with advertisers.
Who it’s shared withOnly the service providers needed to run Kora — Google (Firebase, Gemini AI, voice) — to process your requests. They act on our behalf and don’t use your data for their own purposes.
Your controlYou can delete any chat in the app, clear what Kora remembers from the “What Kora Remembers” screen, and request full account deletion by contacting us.
Permissions Kora uses
Kora asks for each permission in context — only when a feature needs it — and explains why at that moment.
Microphone (record audio)To hear your voice when you talk to Kora and turn it into text. Audio is processed for speech recognition and not stored by Kora.
InternetTo talk to Kora’s AI, search the web when you ask, speak replies in a natural voice, and sync your data to your account.
NotificationsTo show the reminders you set and your optional daily briefing.
Exact alarms & run after restartSo your reminders fire at the exact time you chose, even after your phone reboots.
ContactsOnly when you ask Kora to message or call someone by name — to find that contact’s number. Kora does not upload your contact list.
CalendarTo tell you what you have planned and to save events you ask Kora to create. Calendar data is read only to answer you and isn’t stored or shared.
Approximate locationOnly when you ask for places near you (e.g. “the nearest hospital”). Kora uses your rough location to find nearby results and does not store or share it. No background location.
Notification accessOptional — only if you turn it on. Lets Kora tell you what you missed and reply to a message you dictate. Notifications are read in the moment to help you and are not stored or shared.
Send email (Gmail)When you ask Kora to email someone, Kora prepares the message and — after you review and confirm — sends it from your Gmail using Google’s secure authorization. Kora only sends; it does not read your inbox.
Set alarms & timersTo create alarms and timers in your clock app when you ask.
See installed appsSo Kora can open the app you ask it to (e.g. “open WhatsApp”).
App usage / screen contextTo understand what’s on screen so Kora can help with the task you requested.
Display over other appsTo show Kora’s controls on top of other apps while assisting.
Ignore battery optimizationsSo Kora can keep working reliably in the background when you’ve asked it to act.
Foreground serviceTo keep an action you requested running until it finishes.
Accessibility serviceOnly when you ask Kora to act inside another app (e.g. send a WhatsApp message): Kora reads the screen and taps on your behalf to complete that action. It runs only for the action you requested and never collects, stores, or shares your screen content. You can turn it off anytime in Settings.
Children
Kora is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their data.
Changes
We may update this policy as Kora evolves; we’ll revise the “last updated” date above.
