Is the free tier actually useful?
Yes. The free tier includes voice activation, GPS tracking, emergency contact alerts, safe word detection, fake calls, and check-in timers. It is a complete safety tool — not a crippled demo. Safety should never be behind a paywall.
What happens to my recordings?
By default, recordings are processed and stored on your device only. If you enable cloud backup (Personal tier and above), recordings are end-to-end encrypted before leaving your device. You can delete your data at any time, and auto-delete enforces your chosen retention period.
Is recording legal in my state?
Soteria is aware of recording consent laws. In one-party consent states, Full Recording mode is available. In two-party consent states, Soteria automatically operates in Silent Alert mode (GPS and alerts only, no recording). You always maintain control over which mode is active.
Do I need to give Soteria my password?
No. Soteria uses OAuth sign-in (Google or Microsoft) only. We never store passwords. There is no password field, no password reset flow, and no credential database. Your authentication is handled by the identity provider you already trust.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. No contracts, no cancellation fees. Downgrade to the free tier at any time and keep using Soteria's core safety features.
Is my data sold or shared?
No. Your data is never sold, never shared with third parties, and never used for advertising. Lonia AI is a trust-first company. If we violate that trust, we have no product.
