Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 1, 2026

1. Introduction

Dreams About You ("we," "our," or "the App") is a mobile application that allows users to record dreams, receive AI-generated interpretations, identify recurring patterns, and track personal insights over time.

This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected, how it is used, when it may be shared, and the choices available to you.

By using the App, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Dream Content

When you request an interpretation, we process:

  • Dream text you enter or dictate
  • Relevant excerpts from previous dreams
  • AI-generated interpretations and summaries
  • Recurring themes, emotional patterns, and profile information generated from your dreams
  • Optional context you provide to improve interpretations

Dream content may contain sensitive personal information depending on what you choose to include. Please avoid submitting information about other people that you do not have permission to share.

2.2 Voice Input

The App uses Apple's Speech Recognition framework to convert your voice into text.

Depending on your device, language, and Apple settings, audio may be processed on your device or sent to Apple for speech recognition. The App does not intentionally retain the original audio recording after transcription. The resulting text is treated as dream content.

Apple processes speech data under its own privacy terms: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/

2.3 Device and Installation Information

We may process:

  • An anonymous installation identifier
  • App version, build number, device type, and operating system
  • Security and integrity information provided through Apple App Attest
  • IP address and approximate location derived from it
  • Language, region, and time zone
  • Authentication tokens used to protect access to the service

We use this information to operate the App, prevent abuse, enforce usage limits, diagnose problems, and maintain security.

2.4 Usage and Diagnostic Information

We and our service providers may collect:

  • App launches and session information
  • Feature interactions and button taps
  • Ad impressions and ad interactions
  • Rewarded-ad completion status
  • Crash reports and diagnostic information
  • Performance information such as launch time, responsiveness, and errors
  • Request timestamps, response status, and technical logs

We do not use dream content to select or personalize advertisements.

2.5 Subscription Information

Subscriptions and payments are processed by Apple through the App Store.

We may receive subscription status, product identifiers, transaction status, and entitlement information. We do not receive or store your payment card details.

2.6 Notifications

With your permission, the App may schedule reminders to record your dreams. Reminder preferences and scheduling information are stored on your device.

You can disable notifications at any time in iOS Settings.

3. How We Use Information

We use information to:

  • Provide and personalize dream interpretations
  • Identify recurring themes and emotional patterns
  • Generate and update your personal dream profile
  • Maintain your dream history
  • Sync information through your private iCloud account when available
  • Manage free usage limits, rewarded benefits, and subscriptions
  • Display, measure, and improve advertising
  • Maintain security and prevent fraud or abuse
  • Diagnose errors and improve performance
  • Provide customer support
  • Comply with applicable legal obligations

4. AI Processing

To generate interpretations, dream content and relevant context are transmitted securely to our backend infrastructure and AI service providers.

Our current service providers may include:

  • Cloudflare, for backend infrastructure, security, and request processing
  • Groq, for AI model inference
  • Apple, for iCloud synchronization, speech recognition, subscriptions, notifications, and platform services

Our backend is designed not to permanently store full dream text or complete psychological profiles after an interpretation is processed. Limited technical records, hashed identifiers, security records, and request metadata may be retained for reliability, fraud prevention, rate limiting, and troubleshooting.

Third-party providers process information according to their own terms and privacy policies:

AI-generated interpretations may be inaccurate, incomplete, or inappropriate. They must not be treated as professional, medical, psychological, or therapeutic advice.

5. Advertising

The free version of the App may display advertising through Google AdMob, including:

  • Banner advertisements
  • App-open advertisements
  • Interstitial advertisements
  • Rewarded advertisements that provide an additional dream analysis

Google Mobile Ads may collect or process:

  • IP address and approximate location
  • Device or app identifiers
  • Advertising data, including ads shown to you
  • Ad impressions, clicks, video views, and other interactions
  • App interaction data
  • Crash reports and performance information

This information may be used to deliver advertisements, limit how often an advertisement is shown, prevent fraud, measure advertising performance, and provide analytics.

Depending on your region, consent choices, and iOS privacy settings, advertisements may be personalized, non-personalized, limited, or based only on contextual information.

The App does not access or use Apple's Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) unless the required App Tracking Transparency permission has been requested and granted. If permission is denied or unavailable, advertising may continue without IDFA.

Google processes advertising information under its own policies:

6. Advertising and Privacy Choices

Where required, the App may ask for consent before requesting or personalizing advertisements.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may be able to:

  • Accept or reject personalized advertising
  • Change advertising privacy choices from the App's settings
  • Deny tracking through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt
  • Manage advertising preferences through Google My Ad Center
  • Limit tracking and personalized advertising through iOS Settings

Refusing personalized advertising does not prevent you from using the core functionality of the App. You may still receive non-personalized, limited, or contextual advertisements.

7. Data Storage and iCloud

Dreams, interpretations, and profile information are stored locally on your device.

When iCloud is available and enabled, this information may be synchronized through your private Apple iCloud account using CloudKit. Apple controls the security and retention of information stored in iCloud.

You can remove locally stored and synchronized App data using the deletion option in the App's settings. Some information may remain in device or iCloud backups until those backups expire or are deleted.

8. Data Sharing

We do not sell your dream content.

We may share or allow processing of information by service providers only when reasonably necessary to:

  • Generate AI interpretations
  • Operate backend infrastructure
  • Synchronize data through iCloud
  • Process subscriptions
  • Provide speech recognition
  • Display and measure advertisements
  • Prevent fraud and maintain security
  • Diagnose technical problems
  • Comply with legal requirements

Advertising providers may process device, usage, approximate location, and advertising data as described in this Policy.

Under certain privacy laws, personalized advertising or disclosure of identifiers to advertising partners may be considered a "sale," "sharing," or targeted advertising even when no money is exchanged. Where applicable, you may exercise the choices described in this Policy.

We may also disclose information when required by law, necessary to protect users or the service, or as part of a merger, acquisition, or transfer of the App, subject to appropriate safeguards.

9. Data Retention

Dreams, interpretations, and profile information remain stored on your device and, when enabled, in your iCloud account until you delete them.

Our backend may retain anonymous installation records, security records, rate-limit counters, hashed identifiers, and limited technical logs for as long as reasonably necessary to operate and protect the service.

Advertising, AI, infrastructure, and platform providers retain information according to their own policies and legal obligations.

10. Data Deletion

You can delete App data using the deletion option in the App's settings.

This removes locally stored dreams, interpretations, profile information, preferences, and related App data. When iCloud synchronization is active, deletions are also submitted to your private CloudKit database.

You may also contact us to request access to or deletion of information associated with the App. We may ask for information necessary to verify and locate the relevant records.

Some technical, security, transaction, or legal records may be retained where required for fraud prevention, dispute resolution, legal compliance, or enforcement of our agreements.

11. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Request access to personal information
  • Request correction or deletion
  • Request a copy of your information
  • Object to or restrict certain processing
  • Withdraw consent
  • Opt out of targeted advertising, sale, or sharing
  • Submit a complaint to your local data protection authority

To exercise these rights, contact us using the email address below.

12. Legal Bases for Processing

Where the laws of the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or similar jurisdictions apply, we process information under one or more of the following legal bases:

  • Performance of a contract, to provide requested App functionality
  • Consent, for optional permissions and personalized advertising where required
  • Legitimate interests, for security, fraud prevention, diagnostics, and service improvement
  • Compliance with legal obligations

You may withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.

13. Children's Privacy

The App is not directed to children under 13 or the minimum digital-consent age required in their jurisdiction.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without required parental consent. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can take appropriate action.

14. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect information, including encrypted network transmission, access controls, anonymous installation authentication, and platform security features.

However, no transmission, storage system, or online service can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

15. International Data Transfers

Our service providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live.

Where required, we rely on contractual, organizational, or legal safeguards intended to protect information during international transfers.

16. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when the App, service providers, legal requirements, or data practices change.

The updated version will be published with a revised "Last updated" date. Continued use of the App after an update means the revised Policy applies to future use.

17. Important Disclaimer

Dreams About You provides AI-generated interpretations solely for personal reflection and informational purposes.

The App does not provide medical, psychological, psychiatric, diagnostic, or therapeutic advice and is not a substitute for qualified professional care.

If you are experiencing distress or a mental health emergency, contact an appropriate healthcare professional or emergency service.
