Your journal and your privacy.
Your journal can hold thoughts you do not share elsewhere. This page explains the app's privacy controls and where to find the full policy.
What happens to my entries?
The app stores your entries under your account. If you enable AI processing, entries with enough detail can be used to create lessons, memories, and patterns involving people. These insights stay tied to your writing so you can check the source.
What privacy settings can I change?
Open Privacy & Security in the app to review your settings. You can manage biometric unlock, locking when you leave the app, hiding the app preview, analytics, and AI preferences.
- Use biometric unlock and lock the app when it goes into the background.
- Hide the app preview so journal content is not shown in the app switcher.
- Review your choices for analytics and AI processing.
Where can I read the full policy?
The full privacy policy covers the iOS app and related support requests. It explains what data is collected, how it is used, which services help run the app, and how to ask for deletion. Use that policy for the detailed terms behind this overview.
Can I choose whether to use AI?
Yes. AI processing is optional and stays off until you allow it. You can change that choice in the app. When it is on, eligible journal text and limited context are sent to the AI services named in the policy. A short note may still be saved without producing an insight.
Where can I ask privacy questions?
Contact Binate Journal support for a privacy question, an account deletion request, or help with your data. Do not send passwords or private journal text in a support email. The full policy explains your choices and how to make a request.
