Artificial Intelligence Features

AI-Powered Insights

SoberQuest includes an optional AI Insights feature within the Cost-Benefit Analysis tool. This feature uses artificial intelligence to analyze your self-reflection entries and provide personalized insights to support your recovery journey.

What data is processed:

• The text entries you create in the Cost-Benefit Analysis quadrants (benefits and costs of doing/not doing a behavior)
• No identifying information, account data, or sobriety dates are sent to the AI service

How AI processing works:

• AI analysis is provided by OpenAI through our secure backend service
• Your data is transmitted using encrypted HTTPS connections
• You must provide consent before using this feature for the first time

Data retention and training:

• Your data is processed in real-time and is not stored on AI provider servers after generating your insights
• Your data is not used to train or improve AI models
• Generated insights are cached locally on your device for your convenience

Your control:

• You can deny AI processing when prompted, which will prevent access to the Cost-Benefit Analysis feature, but you can still access all other app features

Third-party provider:

We use OpenAI's API to power this feature. OpenAI processes data according to their API Data Usage Policies, which states that data sent via API is not used for training their models.

Data Storage and Security

Local Data Storage

On-Device Storage

• All your sobriety tracking data (addictions, progress, badges, check-ins) is stored locally on your device using secure iOS UserDefaults
• Your data remains private and is not automatically shared with our servers
• Uninstalling the app will delete all locally stored data

Data Security Measures

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your information, including:

• Encryption of data in transit using industry-standard SSL/TLS protocols
