You control your data and can delete it anytime
Minimal data collection—only what's necessary for your experience

🔒 How We Protect Your Information

Your emotional data deserves the highest level of security. We use industry-leading practices to keep your information safe.

🔐 End-to-End Encryption

Your journal entries are encrypted before leaving your device and remain protected throughout their journey.

🎯 Biometric Protection

Face ID, Touch ID, and device-level authentication keep your thoughts accessible only to you.

🏛️ Secure Infrastructure

We use Firebase's enterprise-grade security with regular security audits and monitoring.

⏰ Automatic Deletion

Temporary data like voice recordings are automatically deleted after processing.

🤖 AI and Your Privacy

Our AI is designed to understand and support your emotional journey while maintaining strict privacy boundaries.

How Our AI Works

Local Processing: Where possible, analysis happens on your device
Anonymized Analysis: When cloud processing is needed, your data is anonymized
No Human Review: Your personal entries are never read by our team members
Secure Deletion: Processed data is immediately deleted after generating insights

Important: We use Google's Gemini AI for generating empathetic responses. This processing is done securely and your data is not stored by Google for training purposes.
