1. Overview
Omniscient is a private circle app that helps trusted connections share live awareness with one another. Depending on your settings and permissions, the app may process location, motion activity, selected wellness data, profile information, and connection information so your approved circle can see your current status.
2. Information We Collect
Account Information
When you sign in, Omniscient may collect account identifiers and profile information associated with your authentication provider, Sign in with Apple.
Location Data
If you grant permission, Omniscient collects your device location so it can be shared with your approved connections. This can include background location updates when live sharing is enabled.
Motion Data
If you grant motion permission, Omniscient uses motion data to detect general activity states such as walking, running, cycling, automotive, or stationary.
Health Data
If you opt in, Omniscient may access selected HealthKit data, including steps and heart rate, to share activity status with your connections.
Profile Image Data
If you choose to import your contact photo or upload an avatar, Omniscient processes that image so it can appear in your account profile.
Connection and Circle Data
Omniscient stores connection relationships, invite usage, and the circle data needed to show who is connected to whom.
3. How We Use Information
- To authenticate you and maintain your Omniscient account.
- To share your live status with the people you approve.
- To enable invite flows and circle management.
- To provide optional wellness context if you choose to share it.
- To operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the app.
4. How Sharing Works
Omniscient is designed around consent and user control. You can manage whether your location is shared and may choose between sharing modes such as full sharing, receive-only, or hidden mode.
5. Background Location
If you enable live sharing and grant the necessary permissions, Omniscient may access your location in the background to keep your approved circle updated even when the app is not actively open. You can disable this through the app’s settings or your device settings.
6. Health Information
Health data is only accessed if you explicitly grant HealthKit permissions. You can revoke those permissions at any time in your device settings. Health data is never sold and is only shared with your approved connections according to your in-app settings.
7. Data Storage and Providers
Omniscient uses third-party infrastructure providers, including Supabase for account management, data storage, and real-time synchronization, to operate core app features. Those providers process information on our behalf in accordance with their own service commitments and applicable law.
Crash and Diagnostic Reporting
Omniscient uses Firebase Crashlytics, a Google service, to receive anonymous crash reports that help us identify and fix stability issues. Crash reports contain device and app state information needed to diagnose the crash — such as iOS version, device model, app version, and a stack trace — but do not include your name, email, location, contacts, health data, or any content from your circle. Firebase Analytics collection is explicitly disabled in the app, and Crashlytics is the only Firebase product we use. You can learn more about how Google handles this data at https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy.
Location and Movement Data Retention
Omniscient is designed to minimize long-term retention of sensitive movement and location information. Live location, motion, and activity synchronization data are processed temporarily to provide real-time sharing functionality between approved connections.
Omniscient does not maintain permanent historical tracking logs of user movement for core live-sharing functionality. Transient synchronization data is automatically replaced with each new update or removed when it is no longer required to operate the service.
Certain limited account, connection, diagnostic, security, or system integrity records may be retained for a reasonable period as required to operate, protect, and troubleshoot the service.
No Sale of Data
Omniscient does not sell personal data, location history, or movement information to advertisers, data brokers, or any third parties. We do not use your location for advertising purposes.
8. Account Deletion
You can request deletion directly in the Omniscient app through the Delete Account option or through the account deletion page on this site. Deleting your account permanently removes your Omniscient account, connections, saved places, and associated app data from active systems, subject to limited retention required for security, fraud prevention, legal compliance, or system backup processes.
9. Your Choices
- Control location, motion, contacts, and health permissions through your device settings.
- Change your sharing mode inside the app.
- Delete your account at any time from within the app.
10. Children’s Privacy
Omniscient is not intended for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we may update the effective date and publish the revised version here.
