Privacy is our priority. We understand you may be sharing sensitive information and we take that responsibility seriously. Your data is stored securely encrypted on our servers, and we operate with strict policies protecting your data privacy.

If you have opted into sharing your conversation transcripts, no voice data is stored. Conversation text is scrubbed for all personal information and then used exclusively to make Ash smarter. Your mental health journey helps Ash understand and improve for other people who go through similar challenges to you.

Because we’re in the early stages, these terms might change slightly over time. You can always find the most recent copy of these terms on this page. And while the details might change, our commitment to your privacy never will.

Our official legalese privacy policy can be found below.

‍Data Security

‍We implement information security measures designed to maintain the security and integrity of the Personal Information that we collect and maintain. Examples of security measures that we use include, but are not limited to, the following:

- data encryption;
- use of multi-factor authentication by our employees;
- password protection and management; and
- role-based access control for our employees who access Personal Information.

Additionally, with regard to the Personal Information we maintain about our Users, to help protect our Users’ privacy we remove information directly identifying Users (such as names) and assign a code (i.e., a unique identification number) which is associated with that User’s information.  We securely maintain the key which links the codes to identifiable Users and we allow only to our authorized personnel to access the key.

Your Conversation Data is stored securely with full encryption on our servers. Our encryption protocols ensure that team members across engineering, product, and customer service cannot access your conversation data under any normal operational circumstances.

We regularly assess the effectiveness of our data security measures and may modify such measures, as appropriate, to adequately protect information that we collect and maintain.  Despite the security measures we implement, there are inherent risks in transmission of information over the Internet and therefore we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access to or use of information will never occur.
