What is stored, and where

Your journal is stored on your phone, in an encrypted database. There is no account: Dream Ember never asks who you are.

Your voice stays on your phone. Speech becomes text on the device, and the recording never leaves it.

Readings are written by OpenAI. When you ask for one, the dream’s text goes to OpenAI through Dream Ember’s server, with your quiz answers (fixed choices, never your words) and short summaries of a few earlier dreams it may echo. Your recording and your name are never sent, and OpenAI does not use any of it to train AI models. For your week in dreams, each dream’s reading takeaway or its title is sent with its symbols and mood, never the dream’s text, and the summary is kept on your phone.

Search finds dreams by meaning as well as by words. For that, the text of each dream is sent the same way when it is saved or changed, and turned into numbers that stay on your phone.

Nothing is kept on our side. Our server stores no dream and no journal. A finished reading waits for your phone, encrypted, and is deleted within a day.

Your choice. Nothing is sent until you agree. You can withdraw in Settings at any time; your journal keeps working, without readings.

iCloud backup goes into your own iCloud account, in a container only the app can read. We cannot see it and we do not hold a key to it. Turn it off in Settings and no copy is made.

Export gives you every dream and every recording as plain files, any time, free.

The full privacy policy will be added to this page before Dream Ember is released.
