If you are hesitant about a senior-focused technology product because you do not want to be watched, tracked, or sold to, this article is for you.

There are no always-on cameras. There are no microphones listening in. There is no system watching your movements, logging your whereabouts, or tracking your steps in the background.

The only time SeniorThrive uses your camera is when you choose to take a photo: a room for a Room Safety Check, or a bottle so the Medicine Tracker can read the label. You point the camera, you tap the button, you see the photo, you choose whether to use it. Nothing else happens.

We do not sell your information. Not to advertisers. Not to data brokers. Not to insurance companies. Not to anyone, under any circumstance. This is not a legal loophole or a "we may share with partners" footnote. It is a flat no.

Your data lives in an encrypted, secure database. The only people who can see any piece of it are the people you choose to share it with.

Your Circle is the small group of people you invite to see parts of your SeniorThrive. Maybe your daughter. Maybe a caregiver. Maybe no one at all.

For each kind of information, you decide whether the people you invite can see it. Your medications, yes or no. Your Daily Check-In, yes or no. Each kind has its own switch, and each starts off until you turn it on.

Three things reach your Circle without a switch, because they matter when something goes wrong: your emergency information, incidents, and supply requests. The page that holds the switches says so beside them.

You can change your mind at any time, for any reason. Flip a switch off tonight and they no longer see that thing starting tomorrow.

There is one narrow exception to all of this. In a genuine emergency, like a fall or a distress signal, SeniorThrive may share the minimum information needed to help you, even with someone you had previously set to see nothing. This is called safety bypass.

It exists for one reason: the most important thing about your Circle is that the people in it can actually help you when you really need them to. In a crisis, a technicality should not stand in the way.

If you ever want to stop using SeniorThrive, you can export everything you have created with Download My Data, and you can close your account. Closing deletes your sign-in and erases your personal details; some things you saved are kept with your name removed from them, which is why the export comes first. We make this easy because we believe you should be able to.

Your information is your information. That is the entire principle.
