1. General Provisions
1.1. This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) sets out the procedures for processing and protecting personal data when using the website tloa.app (the “Website”), the TLOA progressive web application at web.tloa.app and the TLOA mobile application for iOS and Android (together, the “Application”; the Website and Application are collectively referred to as the “Services”).
1.2. The personal data operator is Individual Entrepreneur Oksana Vladimirovna Vezhina, OGRNIP 324470400023858, INN 470516487295 (the “Operator”).
1.3. Personal data is processed in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, including Federal Law No. 152-FZ of 27 July 2006 “On Personal Data”.
1.4. This Policy is publicly available at https://tloa.app/privacy. Under the Federal Law, an operator collecting personal data online must provide unrestricted access to its personal data processing policy on the relevant webpages.
1.5. The Services are intended for individuals aged 18 or over. The Application is not intended for use by individuals under 18.
1.6. During registration, the User separately:
accepts the User Agreement;
gives consent to the processing of personal data.
The Privacy Policy is made available to the User for review through a separate link.
Consent to personal data processing is obtained separately from acceptance of the User Agreement. This separation is consistent with Article 9 of Federal Law No. 152-FZ as amended with effect from 1 September 2025.
1.7. The Operator records the information necessary to demonstrate that the User has given consent, including the User’s identifier, the date and time, the IP address, the type of consent and the version of the relevant document.
1.8. Consent to recurring payments is not part of registration and is obtained separately when the relevant payment arrangement is enabled.
2. Personal Data Processed
2.1. The following data may be processed during registration and account administration:
name;
email address;
information necessary to authenticate the User, including a securely stored password hash;
account identifier;
records of consents given.
2.2. The following data may be processed when using TLOA’s features:
the User’s intentions;
beliefs and other texts created by the User;
test answers and results;
exercise results;
information about progress through the programme;
checklists;
user settings;
data associated with the Application’s virtual features;
voice recordings created by the User through the relevant feature.
2.3. TLOA does not use voice recordings to establish or verify the User’s identity. Accordingly, the Operator does not treat them as biometric personal data within the meaning of Article 11 of Federal Law No. 152-FZ. Under that Article, information is classified as biometric personal data where the operator uses an individual’s physiological or biological characteristics specifically to establish their identity.
2.4. TLOA does not request information about race or ethnicity, political views, religious or philosophical beliefs, or intimate life. The optional questionnaire asks about subjective wellbeing, including anxiety and bodily tension when thinking about an intention. Answers and results are stored in the account to display the questionnaire results. TLOA is intended for self-development and wellbeing; the questionnaire is not intended for medical diagnosis.
2.5. Free-text fields for intentions, beliefs and other user entries are intended for ordinary user-generated text. Users should not include special categories of personal data in these fields unless the relevant feature is specifically designed for that purpose.
2.6. If TLOA introduces a feature that specifically requires the processing of a category of personal data for which separate consent is necessary, that consent will be requested immediately before the User uses the relevant feature.
2.7. The following technical information necessary for the operation and security of the Services may be processed automatically:
IP address;
date and time of access to the Services;
browser and operating system information;
technical error logs and security event logs;
session data and technical cookies;
push notification settings, technical device and app installation identifiers, notification registration tokens, platform information and versions of the application, operating system and embedded software components, and diagnostic information about their operation.
2.8. In connection with payments, the Operator may receive information from Prodamus that is necessary to record payments and provide access, such as:
payment status;
transaction identifier;
selected plan;
transaction amount and date;
subscription status.
The Operator does not store full payment card details.

3.2. TLOA V1 does not include an AI chat feature through which the User can submit free-form messages.
The “Help” section contains predefined questions and pre-written answers. User queries are not sent to an external artificial intelligence provider, and no AI chat history is created or stored.
3.3. Google Analytics and Yandex Metrica are not used to analyse user behaviour within the TLOA V1 Application
4. Purposes of Personal Data Processing

the User’s consent to personal data processing;
the necessity of performing a contract with the User;
compliance with obligations established by the legislation of the Russian Federation;
other grounds expressly provided for by Federal Law No. 152-FZ.
5.2. The User may withdraw consent in the cases and in the manner provided for by law and through the relevant options available in the Services.
5.3. Withdrawal of consent does not require the deletion of data that the Operator is required or entitled to continue processing on another lawful basis.
6. Data Storage Location and Infrastructure
6.1. TLOA V1 uses a single Russian server infrastructure, a backend located in Russia and a primary database located in Russia.
6.2. The primary TLOA account database, user content, user files and voice recordings are hosted in infrastructure located within the Russian Federation. The processing of technical data by external notification services is described in Section 7.2.
6.3. Backups of the primary TLOA database and user files are also stored in Russian infrastructure.
6.4. TLOA V1 does not include:
an EU hub;
allocation of Users between Russian and EU hubs;
country selection for determining where data is stored;
IP-based routing to assign a data storage region;
automatic migration of data between Russian and foreign infrastructure.
As a general rule, since 1 July 2025, recording, systematising, accumulating, storing, modifying and retrieving personal data of Russian citizens using databases outside the Russian Federation in the course of collecting such data has not been permitted.
7. Disclosure of Data to Third Parties
7.1. The Operator does not sell Users’ personal data.

the Prodamus payment service, in connection with payments and subscriptions;
providers of server and technical infrastructure located in Russia, for hosting and operating the Services;
providers of technical email and push notification services, for message delivery. The mobile application uses Firebase Cloud Messaging (Google) and, on iOS, Apple Push Notification service (APNs). These services process technical identifiers and notification tokens; embedded Firebase components also process technical metadata and diagnostic information to operate, maintain quality and analyse the use of those components. Firebase uses Google’s global infrastructure, so this technical data may be processed outside the Russian Federation. Further information: https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy;
public authorities, where there is a legal basis for such disclosure.
7.3. Parties engaged to process personal data on the Operator’s behalf must process it only within the scope of the relevant instructions and ensure appropriate data protection.
7.4. User messages are not sent to an external AI provider to generate responses, as TLOA V1 does not include an AI chat feature.

9.5. Once a processing purpose has been achieved or consent has been withdrawn, data for which there is no other lawful basis for retention is destroyed within the time limits established by law. In particular, in the relevant circumstances, the law provides for a period of up to 30 days for destroying data after the processing purpose has been achieved or consent has been withdrawn.
9.6. Inactive accounts. If the User does not log in to TLOA for 12 consecutive months:

10. Personal Data Security
10.1. The Operator takes legal, organisational and technical measures to protect personal data against unlawful or accidental access, modification, destruction, blocking, copying, disclosure, dissemination and other unlawful actions.
