Privacy Policy

Effective July 2026

The short version: your dreams live on your device and in your own iCloud. Nothing you write reaches our servers unless you request an AI analysis (the dream's text is processed under the hood, not read or stored) or deliberately share a dream with a circle. We don't run ads, we don't use analytics trackers, and we will never sell data.

Your private journal

Dreams you record are stored on your device and, if you have iCloud enabled, in your personal iCloud storage so they sync across your devices and survive reinstalls. That iCloud container belongs to your Apple account. We have no ability to read it. Voice recordings never leave your device. Voice transcription uses Apple's speech recognition, which may process audio according to your device's Apple settings.

AI dream analysis

When you request an analysis, the dream's text and date are sent over an encrypted connection to our server, which forwards them to Anthropic's Claude API to generate the interpretation. The result is returned to your device and saved in your private journal.

• We do not store your dream's text on our servers during analysis — it passes through and comes back.
• The request that reaches the AI contains only your dream's text and date — never your name, email, or account. The AI cannot know whose dream it is.
• Anthropic does not use API content to train its models by default, per its commercial terms.
• Analysis is on-demand only. Nothing is analyzed unless you ask.

Accounts

You can use the journal and analysis without any account. To share dreams with a circle, you sign in with Apple. We store the account identifier Apple gives us and a display name — we do not request or store your email address. Behind the scenes, the app may also create an anonymous account identifier used solely to authenticate analysis requests; it contains no personal information.

Shared dreams and circles

Sharing is always explicit and per-dream. When you share a dream with a circle, its title, text, imagery line, and date are stored on our servers and become visible to that circle's members — people you invited or who invited you. Your symbols and themes are never shared; they stay private to your journal. Nobody else can see shared dreams, including members of your other circles. You can stop sharing any dream at any time, which removes it from our servers. We also store your circles' names and membership lists.

If a shared dream has a photo attached, the photo is uploaded and shown to your circle. Photos are stored at long random addresses that aren't listed anywhere, but anyone who somehow had a photo's exact address could view it without signing in — so treat a shared photo as shared. Unsharing the dream (or deleting your account) deletes the photo from our servers.

Purchases

The optional one-time unlock is processed entirely by Apple. We never see your payment details. To tell whether your copy of the app is in its free month, was purchased, or predates the paywall (early users keep everything free), the app checks its App Store receipt with Apple on your device. Your 30-day trial start date is stored in your own iCloud, not on our servers.

Notifications

If you allow notifications, we store a device token (a random identifier issued by Apple) so we can send you alerts — for example, when someone in your circle shares a dream. The token is deleted when you sign out or delete your account.

What we don't do

• No advertisementsor advertising identifiers.
• No analytics or tracking SDKs.
• No selling, renting, or trading of any data, ever.

Service providers

Dream Club runs on a small set of infrastructure providers, each processing only what's needed to operate the app: Apple (sign-in, iCloud, push notifications), Supabase (our database and server functions), Anthropic (AI analysis), and Vercel (this website).

Deleting your data

• A single shared dream: stop sharing it in the app, and it's removed from our servers.
• Your whole account: Settings → Delete Account permanently removes your account, shared dreams, circle memberships, circles you created, and device tokens from our servers. Your private journal stays on your device and in your iCloud.
• Your private journal: it's yours — delete entries in the app, export your data to a PDF of Markdown file, or remove the app's iCloud data in your device's iCloud settings.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that matters, we'll note it here with a new effective date. Continued use of the app after a change means the updated policy applies.
