Privacy policy.

Hey Human!

You’re here because you value your privacy, especially when it comes to sharing your deepest thoughts with a computer program. Protecting your privacy is incredibly important to us, as both the creators and regular users of InnerEcho.

Our Commitment
Your privacy isn’t just something we care about—it’s central to our mission to provide a safe and private journaling experience. When you share sensitive, personal information with us, we take that responsibility seriously and are committed to keeping it secure, private, and protected, while still offering you the best features and services.

Transparency is key to building trust, which extends to our relationship with you. We’re committed to clear and open communication about how we handle your data, so you can make informed decisions about its use within InnerEcho.

1. Information We Collect

In order to provide our services, we may collect the following types of information:

  • User-Provided Information: You provide us with personally identifiable information, such as your Apple ID, when using our services. Your journal entries, preferences, and any other data you submit through the app are considered part of this.

  • Automatically Collected Information: InnerEcho may automatically collect certain information about the device you use to access our services, such as device type and operating system version, but we do not track personal usage metrics.

2. Use of Information

We use the information we collect to provide and improve our services:

3. AI and Third-Party Services

We use OpenAI and Anthropic to provide advanced computational tasks, such as language processing for our AI insights.

  • OpenAI and Anthropic: InnerEcho anonymizes all sensitive data, such as journal entries, before sending it to OpenAI or Anthropic for processing. All data sent for AI processing is temporarily held for no more than 30 days and is then deleted.

  • CloudKit for Data Storage: We use Apple’s CloudKit to securely store your journal entries and sync them across your devices. Your data is stored with end-to-end encryption, ensuring that only you have access to your personal entries.

4. Non-Disclosure of Sensitive Journal Data

We stand firmly in our commitment to safeguard your sensitive journal data. We do not share, sell, or distribute your data to any third parties unless absolutely required by law. Your privacy is our priority.

5. Security

We employ a variety of measures to safeguard your information:

  • Data Encryption: All data transmitted between you and our services is secured using strong encryption protocols, including Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. Apple’s CloudKit automatically encrypts all data stored and synced across your devices.
