1. Introduction

Welcome to ShadowCompass, a mobile application designed to help users explore and reflect on their dreams through guided journaling and AI-powered analysis.

We value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how it is stored, and what rights you have regarding your information.

By using ShadowCompass, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the data necessary to operate the app and improve your experience.

a. User-Provided Information

When you use ShadowCompass, you may voluntarily provide:

  • Account information — such as your email address (if you create an account).
  • Dream journal entries — the text you record, which may include personal reflections.
  • Symbol and theme data — symbols, emotions, and personal meanings you choose to track.
  • Settings and preferences — theme, gender selection (for analytical purposes), and app usage preferences.

b. Automatically Collected Information

When you use the app, we may automatically collect:

  • Device type, OS version, and anonymized usage analytics (to improve stability).
  • Non-personal app interaction data (e.g., which screens are used most).

We do not collect GPS location, camera data, or contact information.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide to:

  • Generate AI-powered dream analyses and symbol insights.
  • Save and synchronize your dream records and personal symbols securely.
  • Improve app features, personalization, and stability.
  • Communicate account-related notifications (e.g., password reset, technical updates).

AI Processing

Dream analysis is performed through secure API calls to OpenAI's GPT models. The text you submit for analysis is not used to train OpenAI models and is never shared publicly.

4. Data Storage and Security

We take your data security seriously.

  • Your data is securely stored in a privacy-compliant cloud database.
  • Your **dream entries** and **AI analyses** are encrypted before being stored in our database to ensure privacy and confidentiality.
  • Other types of data — such as your **personal symbols**, **themes**, and **app settings** — are stored securely in our database but not individually encrypted. These records are used solely to provide app functionality and improve your experience.
  • We use SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmission between your device and our servers.
  • We take commercially reasonable measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

We may share limited data only with:

  • Cloud service providers (e.g., database, OpenAI) — solely for app functionality.
  • Legal authorities if required by law to comply with lawful requests.

All such providers are bound by strict data protection agreements.

6. Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to:

  • Access, update, or delete your data stored in the app.
  • Request permanent deletion of your account and all associated data.
  • Withdraw consent at any time by deleting your data.

You can manage your data directly within the app under Settings → Delete All Data or by contacting us at support@shadowcompass.app.

7. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account remains active.

If you cancel your subscription, your data will remain securely stored and accessible should you choose to reactivate your subscription or continue using the free features of the app.

You may choose to delete all personal data from within the app at any time. This removes your dreams, analyses, symbols, and settings but retains your account credentials so that you may continue using the app.

If you wish to permanently delete your account (including your email and login information), please contact us at support@shadowcompass.app

8. Children's Privacy

ShadowCompass is not intended for use by children under 13 years of age.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with data, please contact us immediately at support@shadowcompass.app, and we will delete it.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect improvements or legal requirements.

Any significant changes will be communicated via in-app notice or email.

The date at the top indicates the most recent update.
