How Living Journal Protects User Privacy and Keeps Your Data Safe
At Living Journal, your privacy is our top priority! We understand that journaling is a deeply personal experience, and we want you to feel comfortable and secure as you reflect and grow. In this post, we’ll explain exactly how we keep your journal entries private, ensure your data is never shared, and how we use powerful AI to help you without compromising your privacy.
Whether you’re considering using the app or are just curious about how we handle your data, this guide will give you a clear picture of how we protect your information at every step.
1. Your Data Is Always Protected Before It’s Sent
Whenever you use Living Journal, whether you’re writing a new journal entry or using the AI features, we make sure your personal information is never shared. Before any data leaves your device, we automatically remove any personal details like your name, location, or other private info. Instead, we replace that with generic placeholders.
This means only the content (what you write or the AI’s analysis) is shared, while your personal information stays private. So, even if data is sent to our AI for analysis, it can’t be tied back to you personally.
2. What Is the AI We Use?
We use a powerful tool called OpenAI to help analyze your journal entries and offer personalized insights. Think of OpenAI as a smart assistant that helps us understand patterns in your writing and suggest ways to improve or reflect. However, even though OpenAI helps process your content, your personal information is always kept safe and private.
Before your journal entries are sent to OpenAI, all personal details are removed, ensuring that OpenAI can’t identify who you are or access anything private about you.
3. Your Data Is Encrypted and Safe
Once your information is anonymized, it’s protected with encryption—just like a locked vault. Only you can access your original journal entries. This keeps everything secure and ensures that no one else can view your thoughts or information, even if the data is being processed.
4. Your Journal Entries Are Completely Private
We know how important privacy is when it comes to journaling. Not even the developers of Living Journal can see your journal entries. Only you have access to what you write.
Everything is designed so that your thoughts remain completely private and safe. Whether your data is stored on your device or in our system, it’s never shared with anyone without your permission.
5. Keeping Your Original Entries Intact
We want your journal to remain your personal space. That’s why your original entries are never changed. Any AI-generated content or analysis is anonymized before it’s sent anywhere, but your journal entries stay exactly as you wrote them.
6. We Never Sell Your Data
Your journal is yours alone. We do not sell, share, or trade any of your data. The information you share is used only to improve your experience with Living Journal, and you have full control over it.
7. Full Control Over Your Data
You can delete or edit your journal entries whenever you want. And if you choose to stop using Living Journal, you can request to have your data completely removed from our servers.
Why This Matters
We want you to feel comfortable using Living Journal—it’s a space for you to reflect and grow. By removing personal details and encrypting your data, we make sure your private thoughts stay private. And, by ensuring that even our developers can’t see your journal entries, you can be confident that your content is always safe and secure.
If you have any questions or concerns about how we handle your data, please feel free to reach out to us. We’re always here to help.
Thank you for trusting us with your most personal thoughts.
