Privacy Policy for Dream Journal App
Last Updated: 07-09-2025
1. Introduction
Welcome to Dream Journal App ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application and services.
Please read this policy carefully. By using the Dream Journal App, you consent to the practices described in this policy.
2. Information We Collect
We collect several types of information to provide and improve our services to you.
* a. Personal Information You Provide:
* Account Information: When you create an account, we may collect your name and email address.
* Journal Entries: This is the core data of our app. It includes the text, audio recordings, and images of your written dreams that you choose to input.
* User Content: Any other text, audio, or images you upload to the app.
* b. Information Collected Automatically:
* Usage Data: We collect data on how you interact with the app (e.g., features used, time spent, frequency of access).
* Device Information: We may collect information about your device, including its operating system, unique device identifiers, and mobile network information.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
* To create and manage your user account.
* To provide, operate, and maintain our app's core functions (saving dreams, transcribing audio/images).
* To generate AI-powered interpretations of your dreams from a biblical worldview. This analysis is automated and for informational purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional spiritual, psychological, or medical advice.
* To improve, personalize, and expand our app's features.
* To communicate with you, including sending you technical notices and support messages.
* To monitor and analyze usage trends and activities.
4. How We Process Your Data (AI and Transcription)
* Voice Recordings & Images: When you use the voice recording or image-to-text features, your audio and images are sent to secure third-party AI service providers (e.g., Google Cloud Speech-to-Text, OpenAI, etc.) solely for the purpose of transcription. We do not store your raw audio files or images on our servers longer than necessary to complete the transcription process. The resulting text is what is saved in your journal.
* Dream Interpretation: The text of your journal entries is processed by an AI language model to generate a biblical perspective interpretation. This processing is automated. No human will ever read your private journal entries for the purpose of providing this service.
5. Data Storage and Security
Your data's security is important to us. We implement industry-standard administrative, physical, and technical safeguards designed to protect your information, including encryption of data in transit. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
6. Your Data Rights
You can access, update, or delete the personal information in your account at any time through the app's settings. You can also delete your entire account, which will permanently remove all your associated data (journal entries, account info) from our active databases.
7. Third-Party Service Providers
We employ third-party companies and individuals (e.g., cloud hosting providers, AI API services, analytics providers) to facilitate our Service. These third parties have access to your Personal Information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
8. Children's Privacy
Our Service is not intended for use by anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with Personal Information, please contact us.
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
