🔐 Your privacy matters

Privacy Policy

We believe your journal should be a place where you can be honest, personal and yourself. Here's how MyJournal+ handles the information you choose to give us.

🔒
Private by default Your journal content belongs to your account and is not sold.
🛡️
Protected access Account data is protected through Firebase authentication and security rules.
🎛️
You have choices Optional features such as AI and notifications require your action.
01 · Introduction

Your journal is personal.

This Privacy Policy describes how MyJournal+ ("we", "our" or "us") collects, uses, stores and protects personal data when you use our website and applications.

Our approach

We prioritize privacy and keep journal content private by default.

02 · Information

What information do we collect?

The information we collect depends on how you use MyJournal+ and which optional features you choose to enable.

👤 Account data

Email, username, avatar and profile information you provide when creating or updating your account.

📖 Journal content

Journal entries, moods, tags and related metadata stored under your account.

🔔 Notifications

Push notification tokens may be stored if you choose to enable notifications.

📈 Usage data

Aggregated analytics may be used to understand and improve the product.

💳 Payment metadata

Minimal receipt and verification information may be retained. Payment processing is handled by the relevant payment provider.

🎨 Preferences

Certain preferences, such as themes, may also be stored locally to support the application experience.

03 · Purpose

Why do we use your information?

We use your information to provide and improve MyJournal+ and its optional features.

  • Core service: Store and display your journal entries, moods and account information.
  • Optional features: Deliver notifications, AI insights, analytics and other features you choose to use.
  • Security: Support account recovery, abuse prevention and protection of the service.
04 · AI Insights

AI works when you choose to use it.

AI-powered insights are optional. MyJournal+ does not run automated AI analysis of your journal simply because you have an account.

When you request an AI Insight

We process the journal content needed to generate the requested insight through the secure server-side AI workflow.

  • We process only the journal content needed for the requested insight.
  • HTML is stripped and long entries may be truncated before processing.
  • The system is designed to redact obvious personal identifiers whenever possible.
  • AI API keys are handled by the backend and are not exposed to the client.
  • The requesting user's Firebase authentication and Premium access are verified server-side.
  • You can simply choose not to use AI Insights if you do not want your content processed for that feature.
05 · Notifications

Notifications are optional.

If you enable push notifications, MyJournal+ requests permission from your browser or device and may store a Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) token associated with your account.

  • You can disable notifications through your browser or device settings.
  • Signing out triggers an attempt to remove the associated notification token.
  • You can contact us if you need assistance removing notification tokens associated with your account.
06 · Security

How we protect your information.

We use technical and organizational measures intended to protect information handled by MyJournal+.

  • Data is transmitted over HTTPS.
  • Journal and account data are stored using Firebase services.
  • Firebase security rules are used to restrict authenticated access to user data.
  • Trusted backend services handle sensitive server-side operations.
  • AI provider keys are stored on the server and are not exposed to the client.
Important

No online service can guarantee absolute security. We continuously work to reduce unnecessary exposure and protect the information entrusted to MyJournal+.

07 · Third parties

Services that help MyJournal+ work.

MyJournal+ relies on selected third-party services for authentication, storage, analytics, payments, notifications and optional AI functionality.

  • Firebase: authentication and data storage.
  • Google Analytics: aggregated usage analytics.
  • Stripe / PayPal: payment processing.
  • AI provider: optional AI-powered insights.

We aim to share only the information necessary for the relevant service to perform its function.

08 · Advertising

Where advertisements appear.

Advertisements may appear on public informational pages such as About, Terms and similar pages.

We do not intentionally place advertisements on pages containing your private journal content, settings or PIN screen.

09 · Referrals

Referral information.

If you participate in the referral program, referral codes may be used to associate referral activity with accounts.

Referral tracking is based on referral identifiers and counts rather than requiring the sharing of your journal content.

10 · Deletion

You can request to leave.

When you request account deletion, MyJournal+ removes your user document and attempts to remove associated nested collections such as journal entries and mood records.

About deletion timing

Deletion may be asynchronous. Backups, logs or caches may temporarily retain information while cleanup processes complete.

If you require assistance with complete data erasure, contact support.

12 · GDPR

For users in the EU / EEA.

If you are located in the EU or EEA, processing may be based on performance of a contract, consent for optional features such as notifications and AI, and legitimate interests relating to security and abuse prevention.

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights relating to access, correction, erasure and portability. Contact us to exercise applicable rights.
