Privacy Policy

Who we are

Althia (“we,” “us,” “our”) operates the Althia website (althia.org) and the Mythia mobile application. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our services.

Information we collect

Account information: When you create an account, we collect your email address and display name. If you subscribe, payment processing is handled by Apple (via the App Store) or our payment processor — we do not store your credit card details.

Usage data: We collect anonymized data about how you use the app, including which stories you listen to, listening duration, and feature usage. This helps us improve the experience and decide what to build next.

Device information: We may collect basic device information (device type, operating system version, app version) for troubleshooting and compatibility purposes.

How we use your information

We use your information to provide and improve our services, process subscriptions, send important account notifications, personalize your experience (such as remembering your listening progress), and analyze aggregate usage patterns to guide product development. We do not sell your personal data to third parties, and we do not serve advertisements in our apps.

Third-party services

We use third-party services for authentication, data storage, analytics, and subscription management. These services have their own privacy policies. We may also use anonymized, aggregated analytics to understand usage patterns — this data cannot identify individual users.

Data retention and deletion

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. You can request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time by emailing support@althia.org. We will process deletion requests within 30 days.

Children's privacy

Our services are not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected such information, we will delete it promptly.

Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data, object to processing, request data portability, or withdraw consent. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@althia.org.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes via email or an in-app notification. Continued use of our services after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
