Privacy Policy - Haloa Flow
Effective Date: July 10, 2026
Pocket Help LLC ("we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information.
Hāloa Flow is designed to help users stay informed, prepared, and organized throughout their day. We believe privacy should be the default, and we have intentionally designed Hāloa Flow to minimize data collection and maximize on-device processing.
Information We Access
Depending on the features you choose to enable, Hāloa Flow may access:
Calendar information, including event titles, dates, times, and locations and, if you use the optional AI Add to Calendar feature, the ability to add a new event to your calendar, only when you've reviewed and approved it (see "AI-Assisted Add to Calendar" below)
Notification information used to identify relevant reminders and updates
Gmail account information, when you explicitly choose to connect Gmail, including the ability to send a reply on your behalf, but only when you've reviewed and approved it (see "AI-Assisted Draft Replies" below)
Microsoft Outlook / Microsoft 365 account information, when you explicitly choose to connect a Microsoft account, with the same read and, if you use Draft Replies, send access as Gmail
Email account information for other providers (such as Yahoo, iCloud, Zoho, FastMail, or GMX) if you choose to connect one directly, using the email address and password (or app-specific password) you provide
Approximate location, if you use travel-time or weather-aware features, along with a "home base" location you set yourself
Basic application preferences and settings
Access to this information is used solely to provide scheduling awareness, meeting preparation, reminders, summaries, and other assistant-related functionality within the application.
How Information Is Used
Information accessed by Hāloa Flow is used to:
Generate Morning Briefings
Identify upcoming meetings and events
Surface relevant meeting preparation information
Detect scheduling conflicts and timing issues
Provide End-of-Day summaries and reminders
Improve the user's awareness of important events and commitments
Draft a suggested reply to a specific email, only when you choose to use that feature (see below)
Detect a proposed date, time, or event in a specific flagged email and offer to add it to your calendar, only when you choose to use that feature (see below)
AI-Assisted Draft Replies
Hāloa Flow offers an optional, subscriber-only feature that drafts a suggested reply to a specific email you've flagged for follow-up.
When you use this feature, the subject, sender, and body of that one email are sent securely to a server we operate, which asks an AI language model (provided by Anthropic) to draft a reply. The draft is shown to you to review and edit, nothing is ever sent on your behalf unless you personally tap "Send."
Our server does not store the content of your emails or drafts. It keeps only a usage count, tied to an anonymous, random identifier for your installation, so we can enforce a fair-use limit, it is not tied to your name, email address, or connected accounts.
This feature is off unless you turn it on, and is separate from the everyday on-device features described elsewhere in this policy.
AI-Assisted Add to Calendar
Hāloa Flow offers a second optional, subscriber-only feature that looks for a proposed date, time, or event in a specific email you've flagged, and offers to add it to your device calendar.
When you use this feature, the subject, sender, and body of that one email, along with your device's current date/time and time zone, are sent securely to a server we operate, which asks an AI language model (provided by Anthropic) to identify any event details present. The suggested event — title, date, time, and location — is shown to you to review and edit. Nothing is added to your calendar unless you personally tap "Save to Calendar."
Our server does not store the content of your emails. It keeps only a usage count, tied to the same anonymous, random installation identifier described above, to enforce a fair-use limit, separate from the Draft Replies limit.
Saving the event itself happens directly on your device, using Android's standard calendar permission. It does not require connecting or re-authorizing your Google or Microsoft account, and no calendar data is sent to Anthropic or stored on our server.
This feature is off unless you turn it on, and is separate from AI-Assisted Draft Replies and the everyday on-device features described elsewhere in this policy.
Data Storage
Most information processed by Hāloa Flow remains on the user's device.
The exceptions are the AI-Assisted Draft Replies and AI-Assisted Add to Calendar features described above, where a single email's content, and for Add to Calendar, your device's current date/time and time zone, is processed by our server and Anthropic's API at the moment you request it.
If you connect an email account via IMAP (for providers like Yahoo, iCloud, Zoho, FastMail, or GMX), your email address and password are stored on your device using Android's built-in encrypted storage. We never see or store this password ourselves.
Pocket Help LLC does not sell personal information and does not use personal information for advertising purposes.
Data Sharing
Pocket Help LLC does not sell, rent, or share personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.
We do not use third-party advertising networks within Hāloa Flow.
The only third parties involved in Hāloa Flow's operation are:
Google and Microsoft, to authenticate you and read/send mail on your behalf through your own account permissions
Your email provider directly, if you connect an account via IMAP
Anthropic, solely to generate a draft reply or identify event details when you use those specific features
Open-Meteo, to fetch weather using an approximate location, for travel-aware features
Permissions
Hāloa Flow may request permissions including:
Calendar access, including write access if you use the AI Add to Calendar feature to save a suggested event
Notification access
Network access
Gmail connectivity, when explicitly enabled by the user
Microsoft account connectivity, when explicitly enabled by the user
Location, for travel-time and weather features, when explicitly enabled by the user
Users may revoke permissions at any time through their device settings, or disconnect a connected account at any time from within the app.
Data Retention
Information derived from your connected accounts (such as flagged emails and briefing history) is automatically deleted after a limited window: 7 days on the free plan, 30 days for subscribers, rather than being kept indefinitely.
Children's Privacy
Hāloa Flow is not directed toward children under the age of 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as Hāloa Flow evolves. Updated versions will be posted on this page.
