Our Privacy Promise
Your conversations stay yours.
Ascend is a place to be honest — about money pressure, your goals, your relationships, your fears, your wins. We treat that like a vault. Only you hold the key.
We do not sell your data.
Not to advertisers. Not to data brokers. Not to anyone, ever.
We do not share your private entries.
Your messages with your coach, your goals, your reflections — they are not used to train public AI models, not shown to other users, and not posted publicly anywhere by us.
Your data is encrypted in transit.
TLS 1.2+. Stored on hardened cloud infrastructure with restricted, audited access. Only the engineering staff that maintains the system can ever access stored data, and only when needed for security, debugging, or your direct support request.
You can delete everything, anytime.
One click in your account. We delete personal data within 30 days, except records we are legally required to retain (e.g. tax/billing receipts).
When we'd ever hand over data
Only if you specifically ask us to, or if we are legally compelled by a valid court order, subpoena, or credible imminent-harm safety report (for example, a credible disclosure of imminent risk to life). Even then, we provide only what is legally required and notify you when permitted.
A note on what this is
Ascend Higher is a personal growth and life-organization tool. It is not therapy, medical care, legal advice, financial advice, or emergency support. If you need formally privileged communication for legal, medical, or therapeutic reasons, please consult a licensed professional. If you are in crisis, please call or text 988 (US).
