Privacy Policy
Version 2026-10-01 · Helpm AI Inc.
Effective date: October 1, 2026 Last updated: October 1, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Helpm AI Inc. ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects personal information when you use Tutelox, including our website at tutelox.com, our emails and notifications, and related services (the "Service"). It also explains the choices and rights you have.
The short version:
- We use your birth details, the tasks and goals you share, and your feedback to generate your readings and briefs.
- We do not sell your birth details, tasks, notes, uploaded files, or Decision Brief content, and we never share them with advertising partners.
- We do not use your content to train AI models.
- We use advertising and analytics tools on our website. Under some state laws, this is considered "sharing" personal information for targeted advertising. You can opt out at any time on our Your Privacy Choices page, and we honor Global Privacy Control signals automatically.
- You can access, download, correct, or delete your data at any time.

1.2 Information collected automatically
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Device and connection information | IP address; browser type and version; operating system; device type; language settings; approximate location (city/region/country) derived from IP address |
| Usage information | Pages viewed; features used; buttons clicked; time spent; referring website; the ad or link that brought you to us (including UTM parameters and ad click identifiers such as fbclid) |
| Session recordings | Recordings of how you interact with certain pages (mouse movements, clicks, scrolling) to help us find bugs and confusing designs. All text inputs are masked, and pages where you enter birth details, account settings, or Decision Brief content are never recorded. |
| Server visit log | When a browsing session starts, our own server records the landing page, referring website, campaign parameters (UTM and ad click identifiers), device type (mobile, tablet, or desktop), and country. This works even if your browser blocks analytics scripts. |
| Email engagement | Whether you clicked links in our emails. Links pass through a redirect on our domain that records the click. We do not use open-tracking pixels. |
| Cookies and similar technologies | See Section 7 |
1.3 Information from third parties
- Calendar providers. If you connect a calendar (by subscription link or by signing in with a provider such as Google), we receive event titles, times, and descriptions for the relevant dates. See Section 2.3.
- Payment processor. Stripe tells us whether a payment succeeded, your subscription status, and limited card details.
- Advertising partners. Meta may provide us with aggregated reports about the performance of our ads. We do not receive your Meta profile information.
1.4 Information we do not want
Please do not submit government ID numbers, financial account numbers, passwords, medical records, or other people's personal information (including their birth details) unless you have their permission.
2. How We Use Information
2.1 To provide the Service, including to:
- Calculate your natal chart and daily transits from your birth details;
- Generate your daily, weekly, and on-demand content, including by sending relevant information to our AI model providers (Section 5);
- Send your daily brief, check-in reminders, weekly review, and other emails and notifications you have enabled;
- Process payments, manage subscriptions and credits, and send receipts;
- Provide customer support.
2.2 To improve and secure the Service, including to:
- Understand how people use the Service, measure what works, fix bugs, and test new features;
- Monitor content quality and AI costs;
- Detect, prevent, and respond to fraud, abuse, security incidents, and violations of our Terms;
- Identify messages indicating that a user may be in crisis, so that we can show crisis resources instead of generated content.
2.3 Google user data. If you connect a Google account, our use and transfer of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements. We use Google Calendar data only to show your events in the Service and to tailor your briefs; we do not use it for advertising, do not sell it, and do not use it to train AI models.
2.4 For marketing, including to:
- Measure and improve the effectiveness of our advertising (see Section 6);
- Send you marketing emails, only if you have opted in.
2.5 For legal reasons, including to comply with law, enforce our Terms, and protect the rights, safety, and property of our users, us, and others.
2.6 Aggregated and de-identified data. We may create aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you (for example, "the average workday rating during a given week") and use it for any purpose, including publishing research. We will not attempt to re-identify de-identified data.
2.7 No AI training on your content. We do not use your birth details, tasks, notes, check-ins, uploaded files, or Decision Brief content to train AI models, and our AI providers are contractually restricted, under their terms as of the effective date, from using data we send them via their APIs to train their models.
2.8 No automated decisions with legal effects. We do not use your information to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you.
3. Sensitive Information
We do not ask for, and do not intend to collect, sensitive personal information as defined by applicable state laws (such as government ID numbers, precise geolocation, health information, or information about racial or ethnic origin, religion, or sexual orientation). Your place of birth is collected at the city level and is not precise geolocation. If you choose to include sensitive information in free-text fields or uploaded files, we use it only to provide the Service to you, and we do not use it to infer characteristics about you.
4. How We Share Information
We do not sell personal information for money. We share personal information only as follows:
4.1 Service providers (processors). We share information with vendors that process it on our behalf and under our instructions, bound by contracts that restrict their use of it. See Section 5.
4.2 Advertising partners. See Section 6. We never share your birth details, tasks, notes, check-ins, uploaded files, or Decision Brief content with advertising partners.
4.3 At your direction. For example, when you share a brief to social media, the content you choose to share becomes visible to others.
4.4 Legal and safety. When we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to comply with law or legal process, protect the rights, property, or safety of anyone, or detect and prevent fraud or security issues.
4.5 Business transfers. In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets, subject to standard confidentiality protections. We will notify you before your information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

6. Advertising and Your Opt-Out Rights
6.1 What we do. We advertise on Meta platforms (Facebook and Instagram). To measure whether our ads work and to reach people who may be interested in the Service, we use the Meta Pixel on our website and Meta's Conversions API. These may share with Meta: pages you visit on our website, events such as "signed up" or "started a trial" and their value, your IP address and browser information, cookie identifiers, the ad click identifier, and a hashed (encrypted) version of your email address.
6.2 What we never share with advertisers: your birth details, tasks, calendar data, notes, check-ins, feedback text, uploaded files, or Decision Brief content.
6.3 "Sharing" under state law. Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended) and similar laws, providing this information to Meta for cross-context behavioral advertising may be considered "sharing" or "targeted advertising." You have the right to opt out.
6.4 How to opt out:
- Visit Your Privacy Choices and turn off "Sharing for targeted advertising." This works whether or not you are signed in; if you are signed in, we apply your choice to your account on all devices.
- Global Privacy Control: If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we automatically treat it as a request to opt out for that browser, and for your account if you are signed in.
- When you opt out, we stop loading the Meta Pixel and stop sending your events through the Conversions API. We also stop loading our product analytics (PostHog) in that browser, and for your account if you are signed in.
6.5 You can also adjust your ad preferences directly with Meta at https://www.facebook.com/adpreferences.
7. Cookies and Similar Technologies
