1. Who operates Here With You
Here With You is operated in Australia by Jacob McMath Maintenance, a sole trader business operated by Jacob McMath ("Here With You", "we", "us" or "our").
Privacy questions can be sent to office@jmmaintenance.au.
2. Who the service is for
Here With You is intended for adults. It is a wellbeing and conversational support service, not a therapist, medical provider, emergency service, or substitute for professional care.
3. Information we collect and use
4. How we use information
- Provide account access, saved conversations, journal, check-ins, goals, progress features and user-controlled memory.
- Generate companion responses using the conversation and relevant preferences or memories you have chosen to save.
- Operate Free and Plus usage limits, subscription entitlements and purchase restoration.
- Generate Plus features such as deeper continuity or weekly reflections when requested.
- Protect accounts, investigate errors, prevent misuse and keep the service reliable.
- Comply with applicable legal, tax, accounting, fraud-prevention and regulatory obligations.
5. AI processing
When you use the companion or an AI-powered reflection feature, relevant content is sent to an AI service provider so a response can be generated. This may include the message you just sent, recent conversation context, your selected response style/support focus, and saved memories when they are relevant.
We currently use OpenAI services for this processing. We instruct the companion not to invent personal memories and to use saved memories only when relevant. You should avoid entering information you do not want processed as part of the service.
6. Service providers
We use third-party services to operate Here With You. Depending on the feature, these may include:
- Supabase for authentication, database and account-related storage.
- OpenAI for AI-generated companion responses and certain reflections.
- Google Play for Android app distribution and subscription billing.
- Cloudflare and other hosting/infrastructure providers used to deliver the website/app and protect network traffic.
These providers process information on our behalf or as independent service providers under their own terms and privacy obligations. Information may be processed or stored outside Australia.
7. When information may be disclosed
We do not sell personal information. We may disclose information to service providers described above, where required by law, to protect the security or legal rights of users or the service, or as part of a legitimate business transfer subject to appropriate safeguards.
8. Data retention
We retain information for as long as reasonably needed to provide the service, maintain account continuity, meet legal obligations and resolve security or billing issues. Different records may have different retention periods.
You can remove individual saved memories in the app. You can also request permanent account deletion using the in-app Delete account control. Account deletion is intended to remove the account and associated profile data from the active service, subject to limited records we may need to retain where required for legal, security, fraud-prevention, accounting or dispute purposes.
9. Your choices and rights
You can update profile preferences, remove memories, manage saved content where the app provides those controls, and permanently delete your account. You can also contact us to ask a privacy question or request help accessing, correcting or deleting personal information associated with your account.
If we cannot verify that a request relates to the correct account, we may ask for reasonable information to confirm identity before acting on it.
10. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards designed to protect personal information, including authenticated access and encrypted network connections where supported by our providers. No online service can guarantee absolute security, so users should protect their login credentials and contact us if they suspect unauthorised access.
11. Notifications and marketing
We may send service-related communications that are necessary to operate an account, such as security, billing or important product notices. If we introduce optional marketing communications, users will be given appropriate choices to opt out where required.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as Here With You changes. The current version will remain available at this page and will show its effective date. Material changes may also be communicated in the app or by another reasonable method.
