OCCA Communities Association · Last updated: June 20, 2026
This Privacy Policy applies to Apex, published on the App Store by OCCA Communities Association (“OCCA”, “we”, “us”). Apex is
built by students in OCCA’s app-development program and published under OCCA’s developer account. It collects only what it needs to work.
Information we collect
- Account information — your email, a display name, and a password (stored securely, never in plain text).
- Content you create — your chat messages and conversation history.
- Basic technical/diagnostic data to operate and fix the app. We use no third-party advertising or tracking.
Specific to Apex: the text you type into the chat is sent to a third-party large-language-model provider
(such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google) so the AI can generate a reply. Please don’t enter sensitive personal information in the chat. That
provider processes the text under its own terms; we store your conversation history on our servers so you can revisit it.
How we use your information
- To provide the app’s features (sign-in, chatting, saving your history).
- To keep the app secure and fix problems.
- To respond to support requests.
We do not sell your personal information and do not use it for advertising.
How information is shared
- Hosting — the app runs on cloud servers (Microsoft Azure) that store data on our behalf.
- AI provider — chat text is sent to the LLM provider as described above.
- Legal — if required by law.
Data retention & deletion
We keep your data while your account is active. Email support@occabc.com to view or delete your
data.
Children’s privacy
This app is not directed to children under 13. If a child uses it, we collect only the minimal data described above and never use it for
advertising. A parent or guardian may contact support@occabc.com to review or delete information.
Security
We use industry-standard measures (encrypted connections, hashed passwords, access controls). No method is 100% secure, but we work to protect
your data.
Changes
We may update this policy and will revise the “Last updated” date above.
