Inner Journal

Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 15, 2025

Welcome to Inner Journal. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information about you when you use our journaling application.

Information We Collect

  • Account Information: When you sign up or log in using our secure magic link system, we collect your email address. Our backend provider, Supabase, also generates a unique anonymous User ID for your account.
  • Journal Content: We store the text content of your journal entries, which includes messages you type and the responses generated by the AI assistant.
  • Timestamps: We automatically record timestamps for when your account and your messages are created.

How We Use Information

We use the information we collect solely to:

  • Provide, operate, and maintain the Inner Journal service.
  • Authenticate your account using magic links sent to your email.
  • Store and display your journal entries.
  • Generate AI responses to your journal entries.

Where Data Is Stored

All your Account Information (email, User ID) and Journal Content (messages, timestamps) are stored securely in our application database, which is hosted and managed by our backend service provider, Supabase.

Third-Party Sharing

We utilize third-party services to provide Inner Journal:

  • Supabase: Handles user authentication (magic links) and database hosting. Supabase receives your email address for authentication purposes and stores all application data (account info, messages).
  • OpenAI: Provides the AI model (GPT-3.5 Turbo) that generates journal responses. To create these responses, we securely send the text content of your messages from our server to the OpenAI API. Your email address and unique User ID are never sent to OpenAI.

We do not sell or share your personal information with any other third parties for marketing or other purposes.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to help protect information about you from loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Our API key for interacting with OpenAI is kept secure on our server and is not exposed in the browser.

Your Choices

You can access and update your email address associated with your account (functionality may depend on Supabase settings). You may also request the deletion of your account and associated journal data by contacting us.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the top of the policy and, in some cases, we may provide additional notice.
