Latent Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 13, 2026

Latent (“Latent,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you use our mobile application, website, and related services (collectively, the “Platform”).

By using the Platform, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information necessary to provide, maintain, and improve the Platform.

a. Personal Information

Depending on how you use Latent, we may collect:

• Name, username, and email address
• Account credentials and authentication information
• Profile information you choose to provide
• Information contained in posts, activities, tags, comments, or other content you submit
• Direct messages you send to friends, along with comments, kudos, and nudges you share with them

b. Focus Session and Productivity Data

Latent is designed to help users track and understand their productivity. We may collect:

• Focus session start and end times
• Activities or categories associated with a session
• Productivity and session history
• Timelapse recordings or images captured during focus sessions
• Automatically generated session summaries, insights, or statistics
• Information you voluntarily provide about your productivity or activities

c. Camera and Device Information

If you enable camera functionality, Latent may access your device’s camera to record focus sessions and create timelapse content.

Camera access is controlled through your device’s permissions. Latent does not access your camera when you have not granted the applicable permission or when you are not using a feature that requires camera access.

We may also collect device information such as device type, operating system, app version, IP address, and identifiers necessary to operate, secure, and troubleshoot the Platform.

d. Usage and Analytics Information

We may collect information about how you interact with the Platform, including features used, session activity, crash reports, performance information, and general usage patterns.

We may use cookies, SDKs, or similar technologies on our website and within the Platform for analytics, security, and functionality.

e. Payment Information

If Latent offers paid subscriptions or other purchases, payments may be processed by third-party payment providers. We generally do not directly store your full payment card information.

2. How We Use Your Information

We may use the information we collect to:

• Provide, operate, and maintain Latent
• Record and display focus sessions and productivity history
• Generate timelapses, productivity insights, and analytics
• Personalize your experience
• Maintain and improve the Platform
• Communicate with you about your account, updates, or support requests
• Process subscriptions and payments
• Detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, security issues, and technical problems
• Analyze Platform usage and develop new features
• Comply with applicable laws and legal obligations

We do not use camera recordings or focus-session data for purposes unrelated to operating and improving Latent without appropriate notice or consent.

3. Sharing and Disclosure

We may share information in limited circumstances, including:

• Service providers: With vendors that help us operate the Platform, such as cloud hosting, analytics, authentication, customer support, and payment providers.
• With your direction: When you choose to share content or make information publicly visible through Platform features.
• Legal requirements: When reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, legal process, court orders, or governmental requests.
• Safety and security: When necessary to protect the rights, safety, security, or property of Latent, our users, or others.
• Corporate transactions: In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar transaction.
• With your consent: When you otherwise authorize us to share your information.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

4. Camera and Timelapse Privacy

Latent’s focus-session functionality may involve recording video or images of your environment while you work.

You are responsible for ensuring that you have appropriate permission to record other people or private spaces that may appear in your recordings.

We encourage you not to record sensitive information, confidential documents, passwords, financial information, or other private material in your focus sessions.

Where technically and commercially applicable, we may process recordings to create condensed timelapses or other productivity features. Retention periods for recordings may vary depending on the feature and your account settings.

5. User-Generated Content

Content you voluntarily upload or create through Latent, including focus-session recordings, timelapses, activity labels, posts, and other content, may be stored and processed to provide Platform functionality.

If you choose to make content public or share it with other users, that content may be visible to those users and may be copied or redistributed by them.

You should not upload information that you do not want stored or shared through the Platform.

6. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Platform, maintain legitimate business records, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, prevent abuse, and comply with legal obligations.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it was collected.

When information is no longer reasonably necessary for these purposes, we may delete, anonymize, or otherwise de-identify it.

7. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect your information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

However, no internet-based service, storage system, or method of transmission is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your information.

8. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to:

• Access information we maintain about you
• Correct inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your information
• Request restriction of certain processing
• Object to certain uses of your information
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
• Request a copy of certain information in a portable format
• Opt out of certain promotional communications

You may also control certain permissions, including camera access, through your device settings.

We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.

9. Children’s Privacy

Latent is not intended for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe that a child under 13 has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that we can take appropriate steps to delete it.

10. Third-Party Services

The Platform may integrate with or rely on third-party services, including analytics, authentication, cloud infrastructure, payment processing, and other service providers.

Those third parties may process information according to their own privacy policies and terms. We encourage you to review the privacy practices of third-party services you use through Latent.

11. International Users

Latent may process and store information in countries other than the country in which you live. By using the Platform, you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions with different data-protection laws.

Where required by applicable law, we will take appropriate measures for international data transfers.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our Platform, practices, or legal requirements.

When we make changes, we will update the “Effective Date” above. Where required by law, we will provide additional notice.

Your continued use of the Platform after an updated Privacy Policy becomes effective constitutes acceptance of the updated policy, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
