Please do not submit medical records, diagnoses, prescription details, Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, or emergency information through our forms.

We use information to:

• Operate the Edge to Ease™ pilot or program

• Generate private Daily Clarity Stories™ for participants

• Interpret self-reported patterns and wearable signals for reflection purposes

• Improve our tools, prompts, methodology, and participant experience

• Communicate with participants by email or SMS, with consent

We do not use participant information to:

• Make or support employment decisions

• Sell participant data

• Create individual reports for employers, managers, or organizational contacts

• Share individual scores, reflections, screenshots, or stories with employers

For organizational pilots, Live As If Co. provides only aggregate, de-identified team-level reporting.

Employer-facing reports may include:

• Group-level trends

• Aggregate participation patterns

• System-level recommendations

• De-identified themes

• Overall capacity or recovery patterns across a team
  
  

Employer-facing reports do not include:

• Individual names

• Individual scores

• Individual reflections

• Individual wearable screenshots

• Individual Daily Clarity Stories™

• Data that is reasonably likely to identify a participant

Small-Group Limitation

When a pilot includes a very small number of participants, complete de-identification may be structurally limited.

In small-group settings, Live As If Co. limits employer-facing artifacts to broad, team-wide themes and avoids per-person or subgroup breakdowns. Participants are informed of this limitation through consent materials.

No employment decision may be made based on Edge to Ease™ data.

If you use a wearable device as part of Edge to Ease™, you may voluntarily submit screenshots, manual entries, or other wellness-adjacent signals from that device.

Wearable data is used as a directional reflection signal to support your Daily Clarity Story™ and related pilot analysis. It is not used as a diagnostic, clinical, or medical measurement.

Your wearable device manufacturer’s privacy policy governs information collected by the manufacturer or its app. This Privacy Policy governs wearable information you choose to submit to Live As If Co.

Live As If Co. may use screenshots or manual submissions during early pilot phases. If direct wearable API integrations are introduced, Live As If Co. will update this Privacy Policy or provide additional notice and consent as appropriate.

If you provide your phone number and consent to SMS communications, Live As If Co. may send text messages related to your pilot participation or services.

Messages may include:

• Daily check-in reminders

• Personal form links

• Weekly reflection prompts

• Pilot logistics

• Important participation updates
  
  

Message frequency varies but is typically about one message per day during active pilot periods.

Message and data rates may apply.

Reply STOP to opt out of SMS at any time. Reply HELP for support.

SMS consent is separate from pilot participation consent. Withdrawing SMS consent does not automatically remove you from the pilot.

We do not sell or share phone numbers with third parties for marketing purposes.

Wireless carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

Live As If Co. may use AI-assisted tools, including large language model providers, to help generate Daily Clarity Stories™, summaries, interpretation drafts, and aggregate pattern analysis.

When using AI tools, Live As If Co. uses reasonable data-minimization practices, including using participant IDs instead of names where practical.

AI-assisted outputs are reviewed or used for reflection, program improvement, and pilot operations. They are not medical, therapeutic, diagnostic, legal, financial, or employment advice.

Live As If Co. does not authorize AI vendors to use participant data for their own marketing purposes.

Live As If Co. may use third-party services to operate the website, forms, pilot, communications, and backend systems.

These may include:

• Airtable for forms and database management

• Google Workspace for email, documents, and file management

• OpenAI and/or Anthropic for AI-assisted story generation and interpretation support

• Twilio or another SMS provider if SMS automation is activated

• Website hosting, analytics, or payment tools as needed
  
  

Each third-party service has its own privacy practices and policies. Live As If Co. selects vendors with reasonable data protection standards and limits access to information where practical.

Live As If Co. uses reasonable administrative, technical, and operational safeguards to protect participant information.

These may include:

• Access controls

• Participant IDs where practical

• Limited internal access

• Secure cloud-based systems

• Data minimization

• Internal tracking of consent and opt-out status
  
  

No internet transmission or cloud storage system is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

Pilot participant data is generally retained for the duration of the pilot plus 12 months, unless a different period is required for legal, operational, or research-methodology reasons.

After that period, data may be deleted, de-identified, or retained only in aggregate form.

If you withdraw from a pilot, your individual data will be removed from active use within 30 days where reasonably possible. Aggregate or de-identified data that no longer identifies you may be retained for research, reporting, methodology, and product improvement.

You may request deletion of your personal information by contacting shalece@liveasif.co.

You may request to:

• Access personal information we hold about you

• Correct inaccurate information

• Delete personal information where applicable

• Withdraw from the pilot

• Withdraw SMS consent by replying STOP

• Request that your data not be included in future aggregate reports where reasonably possible

• Withdraw marketing or testimonial consent
  
  

To make a request, contact shalece@liveasif.co. We will respond within 30 days where reasonably possible.

Live As If Co. services are not directed to individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from minors.

If you believe a minor has submitted information to us, contact shalece@liveasif.co and we will delete it where appropriate.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last Updated” date reflects the most recent revision.

We may notify active pilot participants of material changes by email or another appropriate communication method.
