End-to-End Encrypted

Your entries are encrypted before leaving your device

Zero-Knowledge Vault

No Data Sales

We make money from subscriptions, never your data

AI Transparency

Clear disclosure of how AI processes your data

At Daylogue, your privacy isn't just a policy—it's how we built the product. This document explains exactly what data we collect, how we protect it, and what rights you have. We believe you should know precisely how your most personal thoughts are handled.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only what's necessary to provide our service. Here's exactly what we store:

Account Information: Your email address and authentication credentials. This is stored in plaintext so we can send you notifications and help you recover your account.

Journal Entries & Check-in Notes: Your journal vault entries and encrypted check-in notes are encrypted on your device using AES-256-GCM encryption before being transmitted to our servers. We store only ciphertext—we cannot read these entries.

AI-Generated Summaries & Insights: When you use AI features, Daylogue generates summaries, narratives, and pattern insights from your check-ins. These AI-generated outputs are stored separately and are not end-to-end encrypted, as they power features like your daily narrative, weekly insights, and pattern detection. Your raw words remain encrypted; the AI-generated derivatives are kept in a separate layer.

Structured Metrics & Metadata: Mood scores, energy levels, stress ratings, sleep data, tags, timestamps, and device identifiers. This structured data powers your dashboards, trends, and AI features, and is protected by access controls and row-level security but is not end-to-end encrypted.

Encryption Keys: Your encryption keys are generated and stored on your device. We never have access to them.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Provide the core journaling and check-in experience
  • Generate AI-powered insights and pattern detection
  • Send reminders and notifications (with your permission)
  • Respond to support requests
  • Improve and maintain our services
  • Prevent abuse and ensure security

**We never use your data for:** - Advertising or ad targeting - Selling to third parties - Training AI models - Any purpose you haven't consented to

3. Encryption & Security

Your privacy is protected by multiple layers of security:

End-to-End Encryption: Your journal vault entries and encrypted check-in notes are encrypted on your device using AES-256-GCM before transmission. The encryption keys are derived from credentials only you possess—we cannot decrypt this content.

Zero-Knowledge Vault: For your journal entries and encrypted notes, our servers store only ciphertext. Even with full database access, these entries remain unreadable to us. AI-generated summaries and structured metrics are stored separately and are accessible server-side to power features like narratives, insights, and pattern detection.

Transmission Security: All data in transit is protected by TLS 1.3 encryption.

Device-Based Key Management: Your encryption keys live on your devices. Cross-device sync requires explicit device approval.

HIPAA-Aligned Safeguards: Our technical security measures follow HIPAA Security Rule principles, including access controls, audit logging, and integrity verification. Note: We are not HIPAA compliant and do not offer Business Associate Agreements.

4. AI Features & Your Data

AI is core to Daylogue's insights. Here's exactly how it works:

How AI Processing Works: 1. When you use AI features, your content is sent to our AI provider (AWS Bedrock) for processing 2. AI generates insights, summaries, and narratives 3. AI-generated summaries are stored server-side to power features like your daily narrative, pattern detection, and insights 4. Your raw journal vault entries and encrypted notes remain end-to-end encrypted

Important Disclosures: - During AI processing, your content briefly exists as readable text at AWS Bedrock - Your content is NOT used to train AI models—AWS Bedrock does not store, log, or train on your data - Anthropic (the AI model provider) never sees your data—Bedrock isolates it within our AWS environment - Voice check-ins use ElevenLabs with PHI mode enabled (zero data retention) - AI-generated summaries are not end-to-end encrypted, as they are needed server-side for features you use

5. Information Sharing

We do not sell your data. Period.

Our Data Trust Promise: - We never sell data to third parties, data brokers, or anyone else - We never share with advertisers or marketing platforms - We never use your data for ad targeting - We never train AI models on your personal entries (AWS Bedrock does not store or train on your data) - Our revenue comes from subscriptions only - You can delete your account and all data anytime

Service Providers: We use trusted providers for hosting (Supabase), AI processing (AWS Bedrock), and essential infrastructure. These providers are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and only process data as necessary to provide their services.

Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if legally required (e.g., court order). Your journal vault entries and encrypted notes are encrypted with keys we do not possess—we can only provide encrypted ciphertext for that content. AI-generated summaries and structured metrics could theoretically be provided if legally compelled.

Business Transfers: In the event of acquisition or merger, your data protections continue. We would notify you of any ownership change.

Never Shared: Your journal content, AI insights, and personal reflections are never shared with advertisers, data brokers, or any third party for their own purposes.

6. Your Rights & Controls

Export: Download all your data in standard formats anytime from your account settings.
