What we do to protect people who are underage

Auragem is a playful self-knowledge app. You answer a few questions about the way you are and, if you want, take a selfie (optional: you can pick a colour instead).

The reading is written by an AI and is a reflection on the present: not a diagnosis, not health advice, not therapy, and not a prediction.

There is also the Encounter: you can open an invitation for people who know you to answer, blind, how they see you — and the app shows where that meets you and where it does not.

To use Auragem in English we ask for 14 or older. Before you start we ask for your date of birth: your age is worked out on your own device, we keep only the confirmation, and the date never leaves it.

Auragem also carries a Brazilian age rating of 14, granted where the app was born. We say so because it is information about us — it is not a clearance from any authority where you are.

The selfie is optional and is read entirely on your own device. The only thing that leaves the phone is a numeric summary of colour: the dominant tone. The photograph is discarded right after, never stored, never sent, never used to recognise anyone.

The colour is a visual element — the tone that lights up your screen and your card. It does not drive your reading: what the Council says comes from what you answered, never from your face.

Your answers (and the free text, if you write one) do go to our AI provider so the reading can be written.

We do not read emotion, identity, orientation, religion, politics, or features of your face. The colour is only a colour.

We do not name health conditions and we do not diagnose. The app will not tell you that you “have anxiety” or need treatment, and an automatic filter blocks that language in the reading.

We do not build behavioural profiles and we do not show targeted advertising — least of all to people who are underage. We do not sell ad space.

We do not promise to predict your future, read your soul, or “guess” anything from the photo.

At a few points the app offers an optional free-text field. If that text carries signs of acute distress, the playful reading is suspended and a support screen takes its place — in the language the person wrote in, and with the national helpline of each country rather than a single one.

Auragem has no streaks, no infinite feed, no autoplay, and no “theme of the day” announcing a tomorrow to pull you back.

We do not send notifications by default. If we ever offer a reminder it will be optional, at most once a day, and switchable off at any time.

In the Encounter, whoever answers about you chooses to appear by name or to answer anonymously.

If they choose anonymity, we do not keep their name next to the answer — there is a constraint in the database itself that refuses to store an anonymous answer with a name attached.

You only ever see what people told you about yourself; never third-party data that is not yours.

If you see anything that puts a child or teenager at risk, write to us. The report page also lists the official child-protection channels, which can act where an app cannot.

We point you somewhere and nothing more: no deadlines, and no guaranteed reply.
