Privacy Center

Percia is the umbrella brand operated by VELVEE, INC. (“Percia,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). The Percia product family includes Percept Vision and the Percia Assistant. This neutral privacy center explains the principles shared across Percia products and provides product-specific disclosures.

Product disclosures

The detailed disclosure below currently applies to the Percia Assistant, including its iPhone and Mac applications and supporting cloud services. Percept Vision and other Percia products may provide additional product-specific notices at collection points or through this privacy center. If a product-specific notice differs from this general notice, the product-specific notice controls for that product.

Percia Assistant privacy notice

This beta is intended for adults. It is not directed to children under 13.

Information we handle

Account and authentication

When you sign in with Google, we receive the account identifiers needed to authenticate you, such as your Google account email address, display name, and a stable account identifier. Authentication is provided through Google Sign-In and Firebase Authentication. Percia does not receive your Google password.

Conversations and assistant context

Percia processes the text you type and transcripts created when you use voice input. To answer a request, the app sends your prompt, its system instructions, and a bounded amount of relevant assistant context to Percia Cloud, which uses Google Cloud Vertex AI to generate a response. This context can include preferences, tasks, commitments, and—only after you separately connect Google data—limited Calendar and Google Tasks information described below.

Conversation history may be stored locally on your device when Retain conversation history is enabled and Incognito Mode is off. Local application state is written using Apple's complete file-protection option. Percia's current beta generation service does not intentionally write prompt or response bodies to Percia's application database. Infrastructure providers may process request and operational metadata to run, secure, and troubleshoot their services.

Voice and audio

The microphone is activated only after you start voice input. Apple speech-recognition services may process audio to produce a transcript, depending on your device and Apple's service availability. Percia processes the resulting transcript like typed conversation text. Percia does not intentionally persist raw voice-input audio, ambient audio, private check phrases, or raw approval audio. Spoken responses use Apple's system text-to-speech services.

Optional Google data

Google identity sign-in is separate from optional Google data access. When you select Connect Google data, Percia requests read-only access to:

• Google Calendar, to fetch up to 25 upcoming events from your primary calendar, including event title, start and end time, location, and attendee email addresses;
• Google Tasks, to fetch up to 20 task lists and up to 100 open, non-hidden tasks per list, including task title and due date; and
• Gmail metadata, which the current beta uses only to request Gmail's estimated message count. The beta does not retrieve Gmail message bodies, subjects, senders, recipients, or attachments.

The current beta holds Calendar, Tasks, and Gmail qualification results in app memory and excludes fetched Google provider records from its local application-state file. After relaunch, Percia rechecks live provider access instead of treating cached connection status as proof of access.

When you ask Percia for help, a bounded subset of Calendar event titles, times, and locations (up to 10 events) and Google Task titles and due dates (up to 20 tasks) may be sent through Percia Cloud to Google Vertex AI solely to generate the response you requested. The current beta does not include attendee email addresses or Gmail data in model requests.

Percia does not use Google user data for advertising, surveillance, credit decisions, or to train generalized AI models. Percia's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

Notifications and device information

If you enable notifications, Percia receives an Apple Push Notification service (APNs) device token along with the device platform, app identifier, and development or production environment. Percia binds that token to your authenticated Firebase account. In production, the raw token is encrypted in Percia's database; a token fingerprint, account identifier, and device metadata are also stored to route and manage notifications. Apple receives the device token and notification payload when Percia sends a notification. Notification previews may appear on a locked screen according to your Apple notification settings.

Operational and support information

Our hosting and security providers may process IP addresses, request timestamps, route names, response status, device or app version, crash information, and similar operational data needed to deliver, secure, and diagnose the service. If you contact us by email or Discord, we process the content and contact information you choose to provide.

How we use information

We use information only to authenticate you and operate the app; provide requested assistant, connected-data, and notification features; preserve local preferences and history you choose to retain; protect and diagnose the service; meet legal obligations; and respond to support, privacy, and feedback requests.

Percia does not sell personal information, serve behavioral advertising, or track you across other companies' apps and websites.

Service providers and disclosure

We use Apple services for application distribution, speech features, and push notifications, and Google services for authentication, optional Google Workspace access, Firebase, Google Cloud hosting, and Vertex AI. These providers process information on our behalf or at your direction under their terms and privacy commitments. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect users or the service, or as part of a corporate transaction subject to appropriate safeguards. We do not allow service providers to use Percia data for their own advertising.

Retention and deletion

Local application data remains until you delete it in Settings → Privacy and retention, disable the applicable retention option, sign out where relevant, or uninstall the app. Disabling future conversation retention does not by itself erase history already saved; use Delete local data to remove the local application-state file.

Google OAuth credentials are managed on-device by Google Sign-In. Signing out clears Percia's local Google session and in-memory provider snapshot but does not revoke Percia's authorization at Google. Delete Percia account initiates deletion of the Firebase account and Percia notification records and revokes the connected Google grant. You can also revoke access from your Google Account's third-party access settings.

Server-side notification records are retained while needed to provide notifications and may remain as inactive security records after Apple invalidates a token. You may ask us to delete server-side records associated with your beta account. We retain limited records when reasonably necessary for security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or legal compliance.

To request access, correction, or deletion of account-associated data, email beta@percia.ai from the email address linked to your account. We may need to verify your identity before completing the request.

Security

Percia uses HTTPS in transit, authenticated service boundaries, encryption for sensitive production records, Apple file protection for local state, and least-privilege provider permissions. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your choices

• Decline microphone, speech-recognition, Google-data, or notification permissions.
• Use text instead of voice.
• Turn conversation retention off or use Incognito Mode.
• Delete local Percia data in the app.
• Sign out of Google and separately revoke Percia in your Google Account.
• Control notification previews or disable notifications in Apple Settings.

International processing

Percia and its providers may process information in the United States and other countries where they operate. Privacy protections may differ from those in your country.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as Percia changes. We will update the date above and provide additional notice or request new consent when a change materially affects how connected Google user data is used.
