Privacy policy
NOĒSIS helps you organise the personal-care products you own, build a routine around them and keep track of how it is going. NOĒSIS is made by Forma (“we”). This policy explains what happens to your information when you use the NOĒSIS app or website.
What stays on your device
Your journal stays on your phone or in your browser: your products, goals, routine, check-ins, notes and face photos. It is not uploaded to our servers. Deleting the app or your journal deletes it, and we cannot recover it.
What reaches our servers, and why
- Your account. Your email address, your password (stored only as a one-way scrambled hash, never as text), when you created the account and whether you have confirmed your email. A signed sign-in cookie is kept on your device.
- Product research and routines. When NOĒSIS researches a product or prepares your routine, it sends the product names and details and the goals you have set, so that the result can be returned.
- Conversation. If you turn on the NOĒSIS conversation, your messages and the saved details each answer needs (goals, products, routine, use records and earlier photo-assessment summaries) are sent to produce the answer. They are not kept on our servers.
- Photos you choose to send. A product photo you ask NOĒSIS to read, or face photos you choose to Share & assess or Share & compare, are sent to produce that result. We do not keep the photo afterwards. The result of a product-photo reading is kept for up to 30 days so the same photo is not processed twice.
- Things you share. If you share a routine or a recommendation, we keep what you chose to share so the link works, until you remove it.
- Fair-use limits. We record when you use an AI feature (the time and the type of request, not its content) to apply daily limits.
- Product catalogue. Facts found about products, such as names, ingredients, directions and prices with their sources, are kept without any link to you and reused for everyone.
Who processes it
Our servers are hosted by Northflank in the United States. Account emails (confirming your address and resetting your password) are sent for us by Resend. AI features are processed for us by OpenAI; we send those requests with OpenAI’s storage option turned off, and OpenAI does not use them to train its models. In the iPhone app, NOĒSIS asks before it first sends anything to OpenAI; you can change this anytime under Your data & settings → OpenAI research. We do not sell your information, show ads, or track you across other apps or websites.
Reminders
Routine reminders are scheduled on your phone. They can show product names on your lock screen. You can turn them off in NOĒSIS or in your phone’s settings.
Age
NOĒSIS is for adults aged 18 and over.
Deleting your data
In NOĒSIS, open the menu, choose Your data & settings, then Delete my account. This removes your account (email and password) and the information on our servers that is linked to you (shares, saved shares, interest sign-ups and usage records), deletes the journal on that device and signs you out.
