- Affirmation goals or focus areas you select
- Notification preferences

Subscription and Purchase Information
Solara may offer premium subscriptions or paid features through Apple in-app purchases. Purchases are processed by Apple. We do not collect or store your credit card number, debit card number, banking information, or full payment details.
We use RevenueCat to help manage subscriptions, verify purchase status, and determine whether your account has access to premium features. RevenueCat may process information such as subscription status, purchase history, App Store receipt information, app user IDs, and related subscription identifiers.
Solara uses an app user ID for RevenueCat that is tied to your Solara account ID. Because your Solara account may be associated with your email address or Apple Sign in information, your subscription status and purchase history may be linked to your account identity.
Notification Information
If you enable push notifications, we collect and store information needed to deliver notifications, including:
- Notification preferences
- Scheduled notification data
- Device push tokens or similar notification identifiers
Your device push token may be stored in Supabase and associated with your Solara profile so we can send notifications based on your preferences. Notification data may also be stored locally on your device so the app can continue functioning properly.
Technical and Device Information
We may collect limited technical information needed to operate and secure the app, such as:
- User ID or account ID
- Device push token or notification identifier
- App version
- Basic device information
- Authentication and session data
- Error, security, or diagnostic information
Some technical identifiers, including your account ID and push token, may be linked to your Solara account so we can operate account-based features, sync your profile, manage subscriptions, deliver notifications, and maintain app security.

3. AI and Affirmation Content
Solara’s affirmation content is prewritten and stored by Helvet Studios. We may use AI tools internally to help draft, brainstorm, or refine affirmation content before it is added to the app.
We do not use AI to generate personalized affirmations in real time for users, and we do not send your birth information, profile information, affirmation activity, or account data to AI providers for personalized generation.
If this changes in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy before using your data in that way.
