Privacy Policy

Our Commitment to Your Privacy

Ramble is designed with privacy at its core. Your journal entries are deeply personal, and we believe they should stay that way. This policy explains how we handle your data.

                The short version: Your journal entries stay on your device. We don't have access to them, and we don't want access to them.
            

Data Storage

Local Storage Only: All your journal entries, including transcriptions, emotional analysis, and personal insights, are stored locally on your device using Apple's secure data storage.

No Cloud Sync: We do not upload your journal entries to any cloud service. Your data never leaves your device except as described below for voice processing.

No Account Required: Ramble does not require you to create an account. There's no email, no password, no personal information collected.

Voice Processing

When you record a voice note, the audio is temporarily sent to our transcription service (Deepgram) to convert your speech to text. Here's what you should know:

Audio is transmitted securely using encryption
Audio is processed in real-time and is not stored on external servers
The transcription service does not retain your audio after processing
Only the text transcription is returned to your device

AI Analysis

Your transcribed journal entries are analyzed by AI (Anthropic Claude) to provide emotional insights, identify gratitude moments, and generate reflections. This processing:

Uses only the text of your current entry
Does not store your entries on AI servers
Does not use your entries to train AI models
Results are stored only on your device

Analytics & Crash Reporting

We may collect anonymous, aggregated analytics to improve the app, such as:

App crashes and error reports (without personal content)
General usage patterns (features used, not content)
Device type and iOS version

This data cannot be used to identify you or reconstruct your journal entries.

Data Deletion

Since all data is stored locally on your device:

Deleting an entry removes it permanently from your device
Uninstalling the app removes all Ramble data from your device
There's no cloud backup to delete - it's all on your device

Children's Privacy

Ramble is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
