1. Overview
CaraDaily is a wellness tracking and coaching application designed for people managing Hashimoto's disease. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how we handle your information. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and your rights as a user.
CaraDaily is operated by Defiance Street Collective, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company. By using CaraDaily you agree to the practices described in this policy.
2. What Data We Collect
2.1 Account Information
When you create an account we collect your email address and a hashed password. We do not store your password in plain text.
2.2 Health-Adjacent Information You Voluntarily Provide
CaraDaily is a self-reporting wellness tool. All health-related data you enter is voluntarily provided by you. This includes:
- Daily symptom logs including symptoms, their severity, and how you felt
- Trigger food logs
- Energy levels, stress levels, sleep duration and quality, weight, and exercise
- Supplement and medication adherence
- Lab values you manually enter such as TSH, T3, T4, TPO antibodies, vitamin D, ferritin, and B12
- Wellness habit tracking and experiment participation
- Onboarding questionnaire responses including diagnosis duration, medication status, and lifestyle information
- Free text notes you choose to write
This information is considered health-adjacent personal information. We treat it with the highest level of care and it is never sold, rented, or shared with third parties for advertising or marketing purposes.
2.3 Automatically Collected Technical Information
When you use CaraDaily we automatically collect certain technical information including:
- Your device timezone for accurate notification timing
- Push notification subscription data if you enable notifications
- App usage patterns for improving the service
- Session information and authentication tokens
2.4 Payment Information
If you subscribe to CaraDaily Pro, payment is processed by Stripe, a third-party payment processor. CaraDaily does not store your credit card number or full payment details. We receive and store only your Stripe customer ID, subscription status, and billing period information. Stripe's privacy policy governs their handling of your payment data and can be found at stripe.com/privacy.
3. How We Use Your Data
3.1 To Provide the Service
Your health-adjacent data is used exclusively to power CaraDaily's core features: generating personalized pattern insights, enabling Cara's AI coaching responses, tracking your wellness habits and experiments, and displaying your history and trends.
3.2 Statistical Pattern Detection
CaraDaily uses statistical analysis including Benjamini-Hochberg false discovery rate correction to identify patterns in your self-reported data. These patterns are derived solely from your own data and are presented as observational correlations, not medical conclusions. All pattern detection runs on data you have voluntarily entered.
3.3 Cara AI Coaching
When you interact with Cara, our AI coaching feature, your recent log data, symptom history, experiment results, and onboarding information are sent to Anthropic's API to generate personalized responses. Anthropic processes this data according to their privacy policy available at anthropic.com/privacy. We send only the data necessary to generate a relevant coaching response.
3.4 Push Notifications
If you enable push notifications, your push subscription endpoint is stored to deliver morning and evening check-in reminders. We use your timezone to send notifications at appropriate local times. We never send marketing messages through push notifications.
3.5 Service Improvement
We may use aggregated and anonymized data, meaning data that cannot be traced back to any individual user, to understand how CaraDaily is being used and to improve the service. No individual health data is used in this process.
3.6 Legal Compliance
We may use or disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, or governmental authority, or if we believe in good faith that such use or disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of CaraDaily, our users, or the public.
4. How We Share Your Data
CaraDaily does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We share data only in the following limited circumstances:
4.1 Service Providers
We use the following third-party service providers who may process your data as necessary to deliver the service:
- Supabase: Secure database hosting and authentication infrastructure
- Anthropic: AI language model processing for Cara coaching responses
- Stripe: Payment processing for CaraDaily Pro subscriptions
- Lovable: Application hosting infrastructure
Each of these providers is contractually required to protect your data and may only use it to provide services to CaraDaily, not for their own purposes.
4.2 Legal Requirements
We may disclose your information to comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, or enforceable governmental requests.
4.3 Business Transfers
If CaraDaily or Defiance Street Collective, LLC is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email or prominent notice within the app before your information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
5. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information including encrypted data transmission using HTTPS, row-level security on our database so only you can access your own data, hashed password storage, and authentication token management.
No method of electronic storage or transmission is 100 percent secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you believe your account has been compromised, please contact us immediately at privacy@caradaily.com.

We retain your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service. If you request account deletion we will delete your personal health data within 30 days of receiving the request.
