Intuitive-Me — a product of Intuitive Pathos LLC
We built Intuitive-Me so you could understand your own moods without sending us your data. Here is the short version, in one paragraph:
Your camera frames and microphone audio never leave your device. Your mood selections, journal entries, tic logs, urge events, badges, and XP are stored locally on your phone via Android / iOS encrypted storage. We do not collect analytics. We do not track you across apps or websites. We do not sell your data. If you turn on the optional AI reflection feature, only text you write is sent to our server, which forwards it to Anthropic’s Claude API for a wellness reflection — and Anthropic has confirmed they will not train on this traffic. If you ever want a copy of your data, you can export it from the app. If you ever want to delete it, you can do that from the app too. No account, no email signup required to use the core wellness loop.
Everything below is the long version, in plain language, with no lawyer tricks.
Intuitive-Me is published by:
Intuitive Pathos LLC A New York limited liability company, formed 2025 Manlius, New York, USA
The founder, sole owner, and the person you reach when you write to the contact address is Matthew Lashomb, RN BSN SCRN. He reads the privacy email himself.
Intuitive-Me is a wellness app. It helps you build awareness of your moods, track patterns over time, practice behavioral techniques (including techniques aligned with CBIT — Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics), and journal in short bursts.
Intuitive-Me is not a medical device. It is not FDA-cleared. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, mitigate, or prevent any disease or medical condition. It is not a substitute for care from a licensed clinician. This posture is consistent with the FDA General Wellness Policy (2019) for low-risk general-wellness products.
If you are in crisis, please call or text 988 (US Suicide and Crisis Lifeline), call the Veterans Crisis Line (988 then press 1), text TREVOR to 678678 (Trevor Project), or call 1-800-422-4453 (Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline). Intuitive-Me is not a crisis service.
This section lists every category of information the app interacts with and tells you exactly where it lives, who can see it, and how long it stays.
When you start a 15-second mood capture session, your front camera records facial expressions.
When you grant microphone permission, the app may capture voice audio during a session.
When you tap a mood button or set a mood intensity, those values are stored locally on your device in encrypted app storage (iOS Keychain / Android EncryptedSharedPreferences via AsyncStorage).
When you write a journal entry, the text is stored locally on your device in encrypted app storage.
If you use the CBIT-aligned tic-training features, the app stores:
These are stored locally on your device. They never leave your device unless you opt in to federated research (see §4.8).
Gamification state — badges earned, experience points, daily streak count — is stored locally on your device. None of this is uploaded or shared.
Intuitive-Me includes an optional AI-reflection feature, powered by Anthropic’s Claude model. This feature is disabled by default. To use it you must explicitly enable it in Settings.
When you enable it and use it:
We are building (but have not yet shipped) a privacy-preserving
federated research program that lets users contribute differentially-
private model updates — never raw data — to improve wellness models for
everyone. This feature is disabled by default and gated behind a
feature flag (Config.FEDERATION_ENABLED = false in
the shipping binary).
If and when we enable federated research, we will:
Until that day, the federated research feature is dormant in the shipping binary. No data leaves your device through it.
If you grant notification permission, the app may send you reminders (for example, “ready for your next mood check?”). The notification text is composed on your device. Apple Push Notification Service (APNs) and Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) deliver the notification — Apple and Google may receive standard delivery metadata (device token, delivery timestamp), per their published policies. We do not associate notification metadata with your identity beyond the device token.
We do not collect analytics. No third-party analytics SDK is embedded in the app. We do not use Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Amplitude, Segment, Heap, or any equivalent.
We do not collect crash reports off-device in v1.0.0. The app includes an on-device error reporter that writes runtime errors to the local console for debugging — those errors never leave your device. We may add an opt-in crash-reporting service in the future; if we do, this Privacy Policy will be updated and we will ask for your explicit consent.
The core wellness loop requires no account. No email signup, no password, no phone number. The first time you open the app, a random local identifier is generated on your device for AsyncStorage keying. That identifier never leaves your device.
If we later add optional account features (e.g., cross-device sync), they will be opt-in, and we will update this Privacy Policy.
To be unambiguous, the following are never collected by us:
If you are in the UK, EU, EEA, or Switzerland, our legal bases under the UK GDPR / EU GDPR are:
We are the data controller for any data we touch. Our representative in the EU and UK, if and when designated under Article 27 GDPR, will be listed here.
You have rights over your data. Here is how to exercise them.
The app includes a data export feature in Settings. Tap “Export my data” to receive a JSON file with every piece of information the app has stored about you locally. This file is generated on-device and shared via your device’s normal share sheet — we do not see it.
If you cannot use the in-app export (e.g., the app is broken on your device), write to matthew.lashomb@intuitivepathos.com and we will help.
The app includes a “Clear all data” action in Settings that removes every piece of information stored locally. This is irreversible. We do not retain server-side copies of your data, so there is nothing for us to delete beyond what your device deletes.
You can also uninstall the app — iOS and Android will purge the app’s storage as part of the uninstall.
Mood selections, journal entries, tic logs, and urge events can be edited or deleted directly in the app. If you find something we got wrong, write to matthew.lashomb@intuitivepathos.com.
Disable any optional feature in Settings, or uninstall the app.
If you are in the UK, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk. If you are in an EU / EEA country, you can complain to your national data protection authority.
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act gives you:
To make a CCPA request, write to matthew.lashomb@intuitivepathos.com with “CCPA request” in the subject line. We will respond within 45 days as required by law.
Intuitive-Me is intended for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
This complies with the US Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and is consistent with our age-rating choice for both the Apple App Store (12+) and Google Play (Teen / 13+).
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child under 13 has used the app, write to matthew.lashomb@intuitivepathos.com and we will delete any local data (note: most data stays on the device anyway, so we will guide you on how to clear it).
The app surfaces crisis resources including the Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) because we believe age-13+ users in distress should have an obvious path to help. Surfacing a crisis resource is not the same as collecting data about a child.
Because we operate from the United States and the AI-reflection feature (when enabled) uses Anthropic’s API, text you choose to submit through the AI-reflection feature may be processed in the United States.
For users in the UK / EU / EEA, this transfer is supported by:
If you do not enable the AI-reflection feature, no data is transferred internationally — everything stays on your device.
We use the following technical and organizational measures:
No system is perfectly secure. If you discover a vulnerability, please write to matthew.lashomb@intuitivepathos.com — we will respond, fix, and credit you if you wish.
The app does not use cookies. The marketing website (intuitivepathos.com) uses only essential cookies for site function; no third-party tracking cookies are set.
When this Privacy Policy materially changes, we will:
The history of prior versions is preserved in the open-source repository for the legal documents at the time of writing; we will publish a public diff if we ever materially revise.

For privacy questions, write “Privacy” in the subject line. For CCPA / GDPR / UK GDPR rights requests, write “Rights request” in the subject line.
We aim to respond within 7 days for general questions and within 30 days for formal rights requests (45 days for CCPA).
This Privacy Policy is written in plain English on purpose. If anything here is unclear, tell us — we will rewrite it. The version control is open: every change ships with a public diff.
