How Your Data is Stored
Local Storage (Default)
By default, all your dream data is stored locally on your device using Apple's secure SwiftData framework. This means:
- Your dreams never leave your device
- We cannot access your dreams
- Your data is protected by your device's security (passcode, Face ID, Touch ID)
- If you delete the app, your local data is deleted
iCloud Sync (Optional - Premium)
Premium users can optionally enable iCloud sync. If enabled:
- Your dreams are synced through your personal iCloud account
- Data is encrypted in transit and at rest by Apple
- We still cannot access your iCloud data
- Your data syncs across your devices signed into the same Apple ID
- Apple's privacy policy governs iCloud storage
Voice Recordings
When you use voice recording:
- Audio is processed on-device using Apple's Speech framework
- Transcription happens locally on your device
- Audio recordings can be saved with your dream entry (your choice)
- We never transmit audio to external servers
