There are other businesses or apps that are in our space where one of the ways that they earn money is by selling the data of their users.

For us, we’ve always felt like people’s data is personal - it’s their data. We hold it in order to serve them, in order to provide a service for them, organize it in a certain way, and help them visualize it in a certain way. But at the core, it’s not ours for our sake. We do use it in aggregate in order to make our product better, but not in the sense of profiting off of other people’s data.
