Munay: Privacy Policy and Terms of Service

Effective Date: December 3, 2025

This document governs your use of the Munay application, which currently operates as a Personal Wellness and Safety Companion App, and outlines our commitment to privacy as we build toward the full Munay Dating Platform.

I. Privacy Policy

Data Collection

Munay collects the essential information needed to provide our services—focusing on personal safety, energy forecasting, and health monitoring.

Data Type Purpose & Usage
Profile Information Name (or preferred name), basic preferences, and Birth Date (required for Biorhythm Intelligence and Energy Forecasting).
Location Data Used for the Silent Emergency System to dispatch precise coordinates to your trusted contacts, and for local services (with your explicit, revocable consent).
Health Metrics Optional Opt-In: Data from Apple Health (e.g., HRV, Resting Heart Rate, Stress Score) is used for wellness monitoring and calculating future Compatibility Scores for the Dating Platform.
Usage Data App interaction patterns, feature usage (e.g., alert activation, chart views) to improve the app experience and reliability.
Emergency Contacts List of trusted individuals you designate to receive alerts during a crisis.

Data Protection & Security

We are committed to building a foundation of trust:

  • We implement industry-leading security measures, including end-to-end encryption for all personal communications and alert data transfer.
  • All sensitive data is stored in secure cloud environments with regular security audits.
  • We use strong access controls to ensure that only essential personnel can access anonymized data for system maintenance.
  • We have a strict policy against selling personal data to third parties.

Apple Health Integration & Wellness Data

Our health compatibility and wellness features are entirely opt-in and privacy-focused:

  • Birth Date Data: Used solely to calculate the Physical, Emotional, and Intellectual Biorhythm cycles for your energy forecast.
  • Health Data: Is anonymized and separated from your profile name/photo before being used to calculate Stress Scores and future Compatibility Scores.
  • No specific health values are displayed to other users (even during the Dating Phase); only aggregated scores (like "High Stress Day" or "Lifestyle Fit") are used.
  • You can revoke Apple Health data access at any time through the in-app Permissions Hub.
  • Upon account deletion, all associated health and profile data is purged from our active systems.

II. Terms of Service

Age Requirement and Eligibility

This age requirement applies to all current features (Personal Wellness and Safety Companion) and future features (Dating Platform). We reserve the right to verify age through appropriate means and to suspend or terminate accounts that do not meet this requirement.

Acceptance and Service Scope

By using Munay, you agree to these Terms. Munay currently provides a Personal Wellness and Safety Companion App. These terms will govern your use of the future Munay Dating Platform (Phase 2) when those features are released, with any necessary amendments provided beforehand.

Safety Features

Our safety tools are designed to enhance your personal security in any high-stakes situation (e.g., dating, travel, working alone):

  • Silent Emergency System: The feature, triggered by the iPhone Action Button or in-app hold function, is an assistive tool for personal security.
  • Personal Responsibility: Safety features supplement, but do not replace, your personal judgment, discretion, or local emergency services (e.g., 911).
  • Munay is not liable for the outcomes of real-world meetings or incidents, whether related to dating or general life. Users are solely responsible for their own safety decisions and precautions.

Acceptable Use and Community Standards

Munay is built to foster responsible, genuine interactions, whether you are using the app for safety monitoring or eventual dating:

  • Honest Representation: Provide accurate information in your profile (especially birth date for Biorhythms).
  • Respectful Communication: No harassment, discrimination, or hate speech against any user.
  • Lawful Use: Compliance with all local laws and regulations.
  • Misuse of Safety: The emergency alert system must not be used for false reports or non-emergency testing.

Account Responsibilities

By using Munay, you agree to:

  • Maintain the security of your login credentials.
  • Immediately report any suspicious activity, technical vulnerabilities, or inappropriate content to the Munay Team.
  • Ensure your Location and Notification permissions are correctly set up to guarantee the reliability of the Silent Emergency System.

  • You own or have permission to use all content you upload
  • Your content does not infringe on third-party rights

  • Your use of Munay services
  • Your violation of these terms
  • Your interactions with other users
  • Content you upload or share
  • Any misuse of safety or emergency features

Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes will be resolved through binding arbitration in Colorado, except for claims involving intellectual property or injunctive relief.

  • Arbitration: Disputes must be resolved individually through arbitration, not class action lawsuits
  • Jurisdiction: Colorado state and federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction for non-arbitrable matters
  • Time Limit: Claims must be brought within one year of when they arise

Changes to Terms

We may update these terms as Munay evolves, particularly when launching new features like the Dating Platform. We will:

  • Notify you of material changes via email and in-app notifications
  • Provide 30 days notice before changes take effect
  • Allow you to review changes before they become binding
  • Give you the option to delete your account if you disagree with new terms

Continued use of Munay after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
