LifeSteward AI has two tiers with genuinely different data handling. Free tier stores everything only on your device — nothing is ever sent to our servers except your sign-in itself. Pro tier syncs your data to our encrypted cloud so you can access it across devices, and unlocks an AI assistant that can answer questions about it.
LifeSteward AI is developed and operated by KGKV LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company. Contact us at support@kgkvllc.com.
On the free tier, your documents, home inventory, tasks, calendar events, budget and transactions, and notes are stored only in the app's local database on your device. They are never uploaded to our servers, never leave your device, and have no cloud backup — if you lose your device or delete the app, this data is gone. We tell you this explicitly the first time you use the app.
The only thing free-tier accounts send us is what's needed to sign you in (your email/password, or your Google/Microsoft account identifier if you use those).
Upgrading to Pro moves your data to our cloud backend (Supabase, hosted on AWS) so it syncs across your devices. The following is stored server-side for Pro accounts:
Every document and inventory photo you capture is encrypted on your device, before it's ever uploaded, using a key that only you hold (a passphrase you set, with a one-time recovery code as backup). We store two independently-encrypted copies of that key — one wrapped by your passphrase, one wrapped by your recovery code — and never the raw key itself. This means nobody at KGKV, and nobody who somehow gained access to our database, could read your original photos or scanned files.
If you never upgrade to Pro, none of this applies — free-tier photos are encrypted with a device-only key that never leaves your phone in the first place.
OpenAI is the only third-party AI provider used anywhere in the app, powering three distinct Pro-only features:
For all three, we do not send your raw encrypted files to OpenAI — only text (extracted document text, task titles, note contents, and similar, or in Cloud OCR's case the specific unclear photo) that's relevant to that one request. OpenAI processes this data solely to generate a response and does not use it to train its models; contractually, it is required to protect this data to a standard equivalent to the protections described in this policy. See OpenAI's Privacy Policy for how they handle data sent to their API.
Consent: before any of these three features sends anything to OpenAI for the first time, the app shows an explicit in-app prompt naming OpenAI and describing what's about to be sent, and requires you to actively choose "Allow" before that request is sent. Declining means that specific request isn't sent — the assistant/voice action doesn't run, or the affected document falls back to a simpler on-device/regex-based result instead. This one decision covers all three features going forward, so you're not asked separately for each — you can revisit it at any time from the Assistant tab.
The assistant also proactively surfaces a small number of automated notices (for example, a warranty expiring soon, or spending on pace to exceed a budget) computed from your own data — these do not involve OpenAI and are calculated directly from your stored records.
You can export a complete copy of your data at any time from Settings → Export My Data — a .zip file containing your documents, inventory, tasks, calendar events, budget/transactions, notes, and remembered facts, plus the original decrypted photo/scan files.
Free-tier data lives only on your device and is removed the moment you delete the app. For Pro accounts, deleting your account from Settings → Delete Account (or from kgkvllc.com/delete/lifestewardai if you can't access the app) permanently and immediately removes your documents, inventory, tasks, calendar events, budget/transactions, notes, assistant history, remembered facts, encrypted files, and account details. This cannot be undone.
You have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your data at any time, using the in-app tools described above or by contacting support@kgkvllc.com. We will respond within 30 days.
LifeSteward AI is not intended for users under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes via in-app notice. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
