Privacy Policy

Last updated : November 10, 2026

In short: Emoty has no account and no servers that store your journal. What you write stays on your iPhone and is never used for statistics. There are no ads in the app. The only data handled outside your device relates to subscriptions, through Apple and RevenueCat.

Who we are

Emoty is published by Ideonot (“we”). For any question about your data, contact us at support@ideonot.com.

Your journal

Your feelings, the emotions you choose, your personal affirmations, favorites and settings are stored only on your iPhone, in the app’s protected storage. We do not receive them and cannot read them. There is no cloud sync.

If you delete the app without a backup, this data is lost, because no copy exists anywhere else.

Emotion suggestions (Apple Intelligence)

On compatible iPhones with Apple Intelligence turned on, Emoty suggests an emotion, an excerpt and spelling fixes using Apple’s on-device model. Your text is processed on your iPhone and is not sent to us or to any third-party AI service. You can turn this off in the app’s settings. On other iPhones, you choose the emotion yourself.

Dictation

If you use dictation, Emoty asks for access to the microphone and speech recognition. Your voice is transcribed on your iPhone (on-device recognition) and the audio is not recorded or sent to us.

Backups

You can export an encrypted backup of your journal. It is protected by a passphrase that you choose and that we never know: we cannot recover a forgotten passphrase. Where you save or share the file (Files, iCloud Drive, email…) is your choice, and that service applies its own rules.

Reminders and widgets

Reminders are local notifications scheduled on your iPhone. They never include what you wrote. Widgets display affirmations from the app and are generated on your device.

Subscriptions

Purchases are processed by Apple. We never see your payment details. To manage subscriptions, we use RevenueCat, Inc. (United States), which receives an anonymous app user identifier, purchase information (product, date, status, price, currency, country/storefront) and basic technical data (app version, iOS version, device model) needed to confirm your access to Premium. RevenueCat does not receive your journal. See RevenueCat’s privacy policy.

This data is kept as long as needed to manage your subscription and to meet accounting obligations.

What we do not do

No account, no email address or name collected by the app.
No ads in the app. We do not currently use the advertising identifier (IDFA) or track you across other companies’ apps and websites; the app would always ask your permission first.
No analytics service at this time. If we add anonymous usage measurement in the future (for example to understand retention or the performance of our ads), it will never include the content of your journal, and this policy will be updated beforehand.
No sale or sharing of personal data.

Delete your data

In the app, Profile → “Erase all my data” removes your journal and associated data from your iPhone. Deleting the app also removes it. Backup files you saved elsewhere are not affected: delete them yourself if needed.

Your rights

Under the GDPR and similar laws, you have the right to access, correct, delete or object to the processing of your data. Since your journal never leaves your device, you control it directly. For subscription data, write to support@ideonot.com and include, if possible, the support identifier shown in the app (Profile). You can also lodge a complaint with your data protection authority (in France, the CNIL).

Children

Emoty is not intended for children under 13 and some optional content contains mild language.

Changes

We may update this policy. The date at the top shows the latest version. Significant changes will be announced in the app or on this page.
