Privacy policy

Your privacy is important to us. It is Soberly’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect from you within our mobile app and any other platforms we operate.


1. Information Collection and Use

We only ask for personal information when it is essential for providing our services. When you sign in with Google, your Soberly account will be pre-filled with your name and profile picture. We collect information by lawful and transparent means, with your knowledge and consent, and we will explain why we are collecting it and how it will be used.


2. Data Retention

We retain collected information only for as long as necessary to provide you with your requested services. We securely store any data we retain to protect it against loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification.


3. Data Sharing

We do not share any personally identifying information publicly or with third parties, except as required by law. Certain functionality within our AI Sobriety Coach/Companion feature (in beta) may rely on Groq or other service providers to process data you provide. Any sharing of data with these third parties is strictly for the purpose of delivering the requested service.


The Soberly app may contain links to external sites that are not operated by us. Please be aware that we have no control over the content or privacy practices of these sites and cannot accept responsibility or liability for their privacy policies.


5. AI Sobriety Coach/Companion (Beta)

  1. Nature of the Feature: The AI Sobriety Coach/Companion allows users to engage in supportive conversations regarding sobriety and related well-being topics. This feature is provided on a beta basis, meaning functionality and underlying technologies may change over time.
  2. Data Processing: Conversations or requests you make to the AI Coach/Companion may be transmitted to our third-party service provider(s), such as Groq, solely to process and return appropriate responses.
  3. Third-Party Privacy Policy: By using this AI feature, you acknowledge and agree that data processing may be subject to Groq’s Privacy Policy. We recommend reviewing their policy to understand how they handle and protect your data.
  4. Data Usage: Data collected through the AI feature is used to provide, maintain, and improve our AI functionality and overall service. We do not use your personal information or conversation content for advertising or marketing purposes.
  5. User Consent and Control: Your use of the AI Sobriety Coach/Companion is entirely voluntary. If you do not consent to having conversation data processed by third parties, please refrain from using this feature.

6. Your Choice

You are free to refuse our request for personal information, understanding that this may prevent us from providing some features of the app. Likewise, you may choose not to use the AI Sobriety Coach/Companion. However, opting out of this feature may limit your ability to receive certain AI-based support within the app.


7. Acceptance of Policy

By continuing to use the Soberly app, you accept our practices regarding privacy and personal information, including the use of the AI Sobriety Coach/Companion feature as described above.
