Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 30, 2026

Somery ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use the Somery iOS app, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.

1. Information We Collect

Account information. When you create an account we collect your email address. You may also sign in with Google or Sign in with Apple, in which case those providers share a verified email address with us.

Dream journal entries. The personal text you write in the app, including any emotional content, mood, emotional state, sleep quality, and optional metadata you attach to entries.

HealthKit sleep data (optional). If you grant permission, Somery can read sleep duration and sleep stages from Apple HealthKit. This permission is entirely optional and can be revoked at any time in iOS Settings. We never write data back to HealthKit.

Anonymous usage analytics. We use Mixpanel and Firebase to collect anonymous, aggregated data about how features are used. These analytics events do not contain personally identifiable information or the content of your dream entries.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide and personalise the dream journaling experience.
  • To generate AI interpretations of your dreams (see Section 3).
  • To sync your data across devices via optional cloud backup.
  • To improve the app through anonymous usage analytics.
  • To communicate with you about your account when necessary.

3. AI Processing

When you request an AI interpretation, the text of your dream entry is sent to OpenAI via Supabase Edge Functions. OpenAI processes the text to generate an interpretation and does not store your dream content beyond the immediate API call, per OpenAI's API data usage policy.

AI interpretations are generated on Anthropic-hosted infrastructure. Dream visualisations (AI-generated images) are stored locally on your device and are not transmitted to any third-party image service.

4. Data Storage

On-device. Journal entries and dream visualisations are stored locally on your device using SwiftData. This data never leaves your device unless you enable cloud sync.

Cloud sync (optional). If you enable cloud backup, a copy of your profile and dream data is stored on Supabase (PostgreSQL). All data is protected with row-level security so only your account can access your records. You can disable cloud sync and delete your remote data at any time.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We share data only with the following service providers, and only to the extent necessary to operate the app:

  • Supabase — authentication and optional cloud database.
  • OpenAI — AI interpretation of dream content.
  • Google / Apple — if you choose to sign in with those providers.
  • Mixpanel & Firebase — anonymous usage analytics.

Each provider is bound by their own privacy policy and applicable data protection laws.

6. Your Rights

You can access, export, or delete your data at any time through Settings → Data Management inside the app. Deleting your account removes your data from our servers. Local SwiftData is deleted from your device when you uninstall the app or delete your account.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom, you have additional rights under the GDPR, including the right to data portability, rectification, and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

7. Children's Privacy

Somery is rated 12+ on the App Store. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

8. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, your data is removed from our servers within 30 days. Anonymous analytics data may be retained for up to 24 months.

9. Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest, and row-level security in our database. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
