Plot Armor Privacy Policy

Version 1.2 · Effective November 12, 2026

Plot Armor is an app that turns your daily habits into a nightly story starring you and your friends. It is operated by TRD Ventures LLC, a New Mexico limited liability company ("we", "us"). This policy explains what we collect, why, who we share it with, how long we keep it and the choices you have. It applies to the Plot Armor app and getplotarmor.app.

If you live in Washington, Nevada or Connecticut, please also read our Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy.

The short version

• Your health numbers stay on your iPhone. Your phone checks your goals. Only whether you hit each goal and a story mood (like "rested") are sent to us.
• Your face picture is never stored. You scan your face live in the app; one picture is sent once to make your character, then discarded.
• We don't sell your data, use it for advertising, or track you across other apps.
• We use AI partners to make your episodes, and we only send them what they need.
• You can download or delete your data at any time in the app.

1. Information we collect

Account information. When you sign in with Apple, we receive a user identifier and, if you choose to share them, your name and email address. Apple may give us a private relay address instead of your real email.

Your character. Either:

• A live face scan. If you cast yourself, you scan your face in the app: you follow a few moves (like turning your head) so we know a real, live face is there. Your iPhone measures those moves to check them; the measurements stay on your iPhone, aren't stored and are never sent. Then your iPhone takes one picture and prepares it (crops it, shrinks it and removes location and other hidden details). It is sent once to our image AI partner to make your character. We do not store it, on our servers or on your iPhone. You can't upload a photo.
• Your choices in the character creator. These are things like hair, skin tone and outfit.

Either way, we keep the character that the AI creates, in the style you chose (Drawn, Anime or Realistic), and the voice you pick.

Your real face, if you choose. In the Realistic style you can star as yourself: your character keeps your real face. This needs its own agreement (see section 5).

Your voice, if you choose. You can record your own character's lines in your episodes. We keep those recordings with your episodes. Your iPhone checks that a recording says the line before it's sent; that check runs on your iPhone only.

Goal results from Apple Health. With your permission, the app reads workouts, steps, sleep, mindful minutes, your Activity rings and time in daylight (from an Apple Watch) from Apple Health on your iPhone, only for the goals you pick. If you add your own goal, its name stays on your iPhone. For each day, your iPhone sends us only:

• whether you hit each of your goals (yes or no);
• a story mood chosen by your phone from a fixed list (for example "rested" or "tired").

Your actual numbers, times and other Health data are never sent to us. If you use a daily target the app suggests from your last 4 weeks, your iPhone works it out and we save only the target you keep, with your goals, as we do any target you pick.

Our other apps on your iPhone. If you also use our apps MindVault, Briefly or Momentum on the same iPhone, they can tell Plot Armor, on your iPhone only, when you journaled, finished the Daily Brief or finished your routines, so Plot Armor can check off your Journal, Read or Routine goal. They share only the time it happened, never what you wrote, read or planned, and Plot Armor sends us only whether the goal was done, as for every goal.

Squad and social information. This includes:

• the squads you create or join, and your invites, nudges and cheers;
• casting requests and your answers to them;
• blocks and reports.

Your stories. The episodes, scripts, images, audio and video we generate for you, and your settings (genre, goals, voice).

Purchases. Apple processes all payments. We receive transaction records from Apple (for example, which plan you bought, renewal status and refunds). We never see your payment card.

Device and technical information. We collect:

• app version, device model, iOS version, country, time zone and language;
• push notification tokens;
• crash reports and performance data;
• app-integrity signals from Apple (App Attest and App Check), which help stop fraud.

Support and consent records. Messages you send us, and a record of the permissions and consents you give or withdraw, with the date and the version of the text you saw.

We do not collect your precise location, your contacts or your advertising identifier.

2. How we use it

We use your information to:

• create your character and your episodes, including episodes where your squad appears;
• run squads, casting requests and sharing according to the choices you and your friends make;
• track your season, progress, level and unlocks;
• manage your subscription, trial, credits and usage limits;
• keep the service safe: prevent fraud and abuse, moderate content, and handle reports;
• fix bugs and improve the app, using diagnostic data and totals that don't identify you;
• send the notifications you've allowed, and marketing messages only if you opt in;
• meet legal, tax and accounting obligations and enforce our Terms.

We do not:

• sell your personal information or share it for targeted advertising;
• use your Health data for advertising, marketing or data mining;
• use face recognition or create face templates;
• use your data to train AI models.

3. Our AI partners and other service providers

To make your episodes, we send only what's needed to these providers. They process it for us under contracts that limit how they can use it. Google and Anthropic don't use what we send them to train their models. ElevenLabs (through fal.ai) and fal.ai receive only story text, such as your characters' lines, and, for a character you build, the look you picked; never your face picture, your recordings or Health data. They may use what they receive to improve their services, under their own terms.

If you choose Prestige premieres (the Prestige plan, or Prestige quality paid for with credits), fal.ai sends each scene's opening picture and the scene's description and lines to ByteDance's Seedance video model, which fal.ai lists as hosted in the United States. The picture is one of your episode images, showing a character you built or an invented one. A character made from your face is never sent, and neither are your recordings, goal results or Health data. We haven't confirmed how fal.ai and ByteDance store or use what they receive; they may keep it and use it under their own terms. If you'd rather they didn't receive it, keep your premieres at the included quality or HD.

Our providers are US companies, except ByteDance, whose Seedance model fal.ai lists as hosted in the United States. They may process data in other countries under their data agreements. Google processes your face picture, and makes your character from it, in the United States; it may make a character you build from choices, your episode pictures and your premiere videos in other countries under its data agreement. Google deletes each video request once we've received the video.

Google automatically screens requests sent to its AI for abuse. If its systems flag a request, Google may keep that request, including any image in it such as your photo, for up to 90 days so its safety team can review it. Google doesn't use it to train its models.

We may also share information:

• if required by law or to protect someone's safety;
• with a buyer if our company is sold, under this policy.

4. What other people can see

• Your squad can see your character, your story status and how many of your goals you hit each day (like "2 of 3"). They can't see which goals, or any Health numbers.
• In episodes: your character appears in a friend's episode only after you approve that casting request (or, if you chose "automatic", in the roles you allowed). Your real face appears in a friend's episode only when you approve that request, every time; you can choose Never. You can remove yourself from any episode at any time.
• Outside the app: your character appears in shared clips only if you turn on "Allow my character in shared clips". It's off by default. If you haven't turned it on, a friend's clip leaves you out, or a made-up character plays your part. Clips you share can't be pulled back once they're posted on other apps.

5. Your face scan, picture and character

We treat your face with extra care:

• You scan your face live; there's no photo upload. The scan checks that a real, live face is there. It isn't identity verification, and its measurements of your moves stay on your iPhone and are never sent or stored.
• The one picture it takes is prepared on your iPhone first, including removing its location data.
• It is sent once, directly to Google's AI, to make your character. It is not saved to our servers, databases, backups or logs. (If Google's abuse screening flags the request, Google may keep it for up to 90 days; see section 3.)
• It isn't kept on your iPhone either: the app holds it in memory until your character is made, then discards it. (Earlier versions of the app kept a copy on your iPhone for up to 7 days; the app now deletes any such copy when it opens.)
• We do not use face recognition, create face templates, or use your picture or character to identify you.
• We never sell, lease, trade or profit from your photo or likeness apart from providing the app to you.
• Your character is kept until you change it, turn off "Face-scan character", or delete your account. We also delete it after 3 years without using the app.
• Casting yourself from a scan is not currently available to residents of Illinois or Texas. You can use the character creator instead.

Your real face (the Realistic style). Starring as yourself is optional and needs its own agreement, "Star as yourself":

• Google's AI makes a realistic character from your scan, with your real face. Your episodes and premieres show it, and every video is labeled Made with AI.
• Friends can put your real face in their episodes only when you approve each one. You can choose Never in Character › Settings › Privacy and my data, where every episode showing your real face is also listed.
• We never sell your face or use it for advertising.
• Turning off "Star as yourself" deletes your real-face character at once. We also delete it with your account, or after 3 years without using the app.
• It's available on iPhones with Face ID, and not currently to residents of Illinois or Texas.

6. Your voice recordings

Recording your own lines is optional and needs your separate agreement:

• We record your voice reading your own character's lines. Record only yourself; you must be 18 or older.
• Your recordings replace your character's AI voice in your own daily episodes and in clips you choose to share. They're never used in a friend's episode. Premiere videos use the AI voice you picked for your character, never your recording.
• Your iPhone checks that each take says the line; that check runs on your iPhone.
• Your recordings stay on our servers, which make your episodes. They're kept in the United States.
• We never clone your voice, make a voiceprint, identify you with it, sell it or use it to train AI.
• We keep them until you delete them, turn off "Use my own voice" in Character › Settings › Privacy and my data, or delete your account, or after 3 years without using the app.
• Clips you share can't be pulled back once they're posted on other apps.
• Recording your own lines is not currently available to residents of Illinois or Texas.

7. Health information

• Plot Armor reads Apple Health data only with your permission, and only on your iPhone.
• Only goal results (yes/no), a story mood and the daily targets you set leave your phone.
• We never use Health information for advertising, marketing or data mining. We never sell it, and we never share it with anyone except the service providers above, to run the app for you.
• We don't store Health information in iCloud.
• You can turn off Health access at any time in the iPhone Settings app, and turn off "Health goals and AI episodes" in Plot Armor.

8. How long we keep information

When you delete your account, we delete your information within 30 days, except the records above that the law requires us to keep. Copies in backups are overwritten on their normal cycle.

9. Your choices and rights

In the app (Character › Settings › Privacy and my data), you can:

• download a copy of your data;
• delete your account and data;
• turn off Health goals, your face-scan character, "Star as yourself", sharing or marketing;
• choose whether friends may ask to show your real face, and see every episode that shows it;
• remove yourself from any episode, leave a squad or block someone.

You can also email privacy@trdventures.net to:

• ask what we hold about you;
• correct or delete it;
• get a copy;
• withdraw consent;
• ask a question.

We'll respond within 30 days, and we may need to confirm it's you. If we decline your request, you can appeal by replying to our answer with "Appeal". We'll respond to the appeal within 45 days. We won't treat you differently for using your rights.

US state privacy rights. Depending on where you live (including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, Oregon and other states), you may have the rights to:

• know about the personal information we collect;
• access it;
• correct it;
• delete it;
• get a copy of it;
• opt out of its sale, sharing for targeted advertising, or profiling.

We don't sell or share personal information for targeted advertising, and we don't use profiling that has legal or similarly significant effects. We use sensitive information (health-related goal results and your face picture and character) only to provide the app you asked for. You can use an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf.

If you are in the European Economic Area, the UK or Switzerland:

• We process your information:
• to perform our contract with you (running your account and stories);
• with your explicit consent (goal results from Health and your photo);
• for our legitimate interests (security, fraud prevention and improving the app);
• to meet legal obligations.
• You may withdraw consent at any time.
• You may object to processing, restrict it, or ask for your data in a portable format.
• You may also complain to your local data protection authority.
• Your information is handled by US companies, which may process it in other countries under their data agreements, using safeguards such as the Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

10. Security

We protect your information with:

• encryption in transit and at rest;
• restricted, audited staff access;
• secrets kept outside our app code;
• app-integrity checks.

Admins can't see your Health information or your photo. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information and will notify you and the authorities of a breach as the law requires.

11. Children

Plot Armor is only for adults 18 and older. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If we learn that we have, we'll delete the account and its data. If you believe a child is using Plot Armor, contact privacy@trdventures.net.

12. AI-generated content

Episodes and characters are made with AI and labeled "Made with AI". Images carry Google's invisible SynthID watermark. AI can make mistakes. Please report anything inappropriate from the menu on any episode.

13. Changes to this policy

We'll post any change here with a new version number and date. If we make a material change, especially to how we use Health information or your photo, we'll tell you in the app and ask for your agreement before it applies to you.
