Protecting Your Data with Ethical AI

Our Foundational Commitment

At Caura, we believe that emotional AI requires exceptional ethical responsibility. We are custodians of deeply personal data—memories, emotions, and human experiences. This sacred trust defines every decision we make.

Work in Progress

Caura is currently in its initial inception stage. This legal and privacy framework represents our commitment and vision as we develop our platform. As we grow and evolve, these policies will be refined and expanded to ensure they meet the highest standards of data protection and user privacy. We welcome feedback from our early community as we build the future of emotional AI together.

Core Principles

1. Privacy by Design

  • Data Minimization: We collect only what's necessary to deliver emotional intelligence
  • End-to-End Encryption: All emotional data is encrypted at rest and in transit
  • Zero-Knowledge Architecture: Even Caura cannot access your unencrypted emotional profiles
  • Local Processing First: Sensitive emotional analysis happens on-device when possible

2. User Sovereignty

  • Complete Control: Users own their emotional data—full export, modification, and deletion rights
  • Transparent Access: Real-time dashboard showing exactly what data we store and how it's used
  • Consent-First: Explicit opt-in for every data use, especially emotional insights
  • Right to Forget: Complete data erasure within 72 hours upon request

3. Emotional Data Protection

  • Vulnerability Safeguards: Enhanced protection during detected emotional distress
  • No Exploitation: Emotional states never used for manipulation or harmful targeting
  • Context Boundaries: Emotional data from therapy/healthcare gets highest protection
  • Minor Protection: Stricter controls and parental oversight for users under 18

4. Security Standards

  • SOC 2 Type II Compliance: Annual third-party security audits
  • GDPR/CCPA Compliance: Exceeding global privacy regulations
  • Breach Protocol: User notification within 24 hours of any security incident
  • Federated Architecture: Distributed storage preventing single points of failure

5. Ethical AI Use

  • No Discriminatory Profiling: Emotional data never used for bias or discrimination
  • Transparent Algorithms: Clear explanations of how emotional insights are derived
  • Human Oversight: Critical emotional assessments reviewed by qualified professionals
  • Research Ethics: Anonymized data for research only with explicit consent

6. Commercial Integrity

  • No Raw Data Sales: We never sell individual emotional profiles
  • Aggregation Standards: Minimum 1,000 users for any anonymized insights
  • Partner Vetting: Strict evaluation of any third-party accessing Caura APIs
  • Ad Ethics: No targeting based on vulnerable emotional states

7. Continuous Accountability

  • Ethics Board: Independent committee reviewing all major decisions
  • Public Transparency Reports: Quarterly updates on data requests and usage
  • User Advocacy: Dedicated ombudsperson for privacy concerns
  • Open Dialogue: Regular community forums on ethical AI development
