Privacy policy
Sizmari is a dream journal app for Android and iOS. Dreams are personal, and some of what you write may reveal things about your mental and emotional life, so this policy explains plainly what we collect, why, where it goes and how to get rid of it.
The short version
- On the free plan, your dream entries are stored only on your device.
- On a paid plan, your entries are stored on our servers in the EU, encrypted, so they sync and back up.
- To interpret a dream, its text is sent to our AI provider. It isn't used to train AI models.
- Voice capture is turned into text on your device. Audio is never uploaded.
- We don't sell your data or show ads. Analytics never include what you write.
- You can export your data and delete your account at any time.
1. Who we are
Sizmari is developed by Nikolozi Chikhladze, 11 Mitrofone Laghidze St, Tbilisi, Georgia ("we", "us"). We are the controller of your personal data. Contact us about anything in this policy at support@sizmari.app.
2. What we collect
Account information
Everyone needs an account. We collect your email address and, if you sign in with Google or Apple, the identifier and email those services share with us. Passwords are stored only as secure hashes. During sign-up you confirm you are at least 16; we record that you confirmed it, not your birth date.
Dream entries
The dreams you write or dictate, the optional mood you pick before capturing, and the AI interpretations and patterns generated from them (recurring people, places, emotions and objects).
- Voice: speech is converted to text by your device's built-in speech recognition, on the device. We never receive or store audio.
- Free plan: entries are stored only on your device. For an AI interpretation, the text of the entry is sent through our server to our AI provider and the result comes back to your device. Our server doesn't keep the entry.
- Paid plan and free trial: entries and interpretations are stored on our servers in the EU so they're backed up and available across your devices. When you upgrade, entries already on your device are uploaded and then removed from local storage.
Preferences and consents
Your wake-time window, cultural interpretation lens, tarot/numerology setting, notification settings, streak progress, and the consents you have given or withdrawn, with their dates.
Subscription information
Whether you're on the free plan, a trial or a paid plan, and your subscription history. Payments are handled by Google Play or the App Store; we never see your card details.
Usage analytics
Which screens you visit and which buttons you tap (for example, where people drop out of sign-up), linked to a pseudonymous ID. Analytics never include dream content or interpretations, and IP addresses aren't stored.
Crash reports and technical data
When the app crashes or hits an error: device model, operating system version, app version and technical details of the error. Dream content is not included.
Push token
If you allow notifications, a device token so we can send your wake-time reminder and account notices.
AI usage records
For each AI request: your account ID, the time, the amount of processing used and the outcome of our automated checks. These records don't contain your dream text. We use them to enforce plan limits and prevent misuse.
3. Sensitive information and your consent
Dreams can reveal information about your health, including your mental health, which data-protection law treats as special-category data. We only process dream content for analysis with your explicit consent, asked for separately from our terms. There are two separate consents:
- Crisis-language screening. An automated check looks for language suggesting you may be in real distress (as opposed to the content of a dream) and, if found, shows you crisis-support resources. Nobody at Sizmari reads your entries as part of this, and we don't contact anyone on your behalf.
- Dream interpretation. Sending entries to our AI provider for interpretation and pattern-finding.
You can withdraw either consent at any time in Settings. Withdrawing stops future processing; it doesn't affect processing that already happened.
Sizmari is for self-reflection. It isn't a medical device and doesn't diagnose or treat any condition. Interpretations draw on psychological frameworks and published dream traditions and aren't statements of fact. If you're in crisis, contact local emergency services.
4. How and why we use your data
| Purpose | Data | Legal basis (GDPR) |
|---|---|---|
| Provide your account, journal, sync and backup | Account, entries, preferences | Contract; explicit consent for dream content |
| AI interpretation and pattern-finding | Entries, interpretations | Explicit consent |
| Crisis-language screening | Entries | Explicit consent |
| Subscriptions, trials, rewards and plan limits | Subscription information, AI usage records | Contract |
| Reminders and account notices | Push token, email, wake-time window | Contract; your notification permission |
| Service emails (password reset, export reminders, deletion confirmation) | Email address | Contract |
| Fix crashes and improve the app | Crash reports, usage analytics | Legitimate interest in a reliable, usable app |
| Prevent misuse and keep the service secure | AI usage records, technical data | Legitimate interest |
We don't use your data for advertising, don't sell or rent it, and don't share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. Your entries aren't used to train AI models, ours or anyone else's. We make no decisions with legal or similarly significant effects on you based solely on automated processing.
5. Who we share it with
Only with service providers that run parts of Sizmari for us, under data-processing agreements that limit them to acting on our instructions:
| Provider | What they do | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase | Database, sign-in and server functions | EU (Ireland) |
| Anthropic | AI interpretation and screening of dream text | United States |
| RevenueCat | Subscription status management | United States |
| Google Play, Apple App Store | Payments and subscription billing | Global |
| Google (Sign-In), Apple (Sign in with Apple) | Optional sign-in methods | Global |
| Expo, Google Firebase Cloud Messaging, Apple Push Notification service | Delivering push notifications | United States |
| Resend | Sending service emails | United States |
| Sentry | Crash and error reporting | EU (Germany) |
| PostHog | Usage analytics | EU (Germany) |
Our AI provider processes dream text only to return the interpretation or screening result and doesn't use it to train models. It may keep requests for a limited period to detect abuse, after which they're deleted.
We may also disclose data if the law requires it, or to protect someone's safety, and to a successor if Sizmari is ever transferred, in which case this policy continues to apply to your data.
6. International transfers
Our main database is in the EU. Some providers above process data in the United States. Where data leaves the European Economic Area, UK or Switzerland, we rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, as applicable to each provider.
7. How long we keep it
- Account and preferences: until you delete your account.
- Server-stored entries (paid plan): while your subscription is active. If it ends, you get 14 days to export your entries, with email reminders, and then they are deleted from our servers. Your account and free-plan features remain.
- On-device entries (free plan): on your device until you delete them, delete your account or uninstall the app.
- Crash reports: up to 90 days.
- Usage analytics: up to 12 months, then deleted.
- Backups: deleted data is removed from backups within 30 days.
8. Deleting your account
Deleting your account permanently erases your data; we don't keep a hidden copy. You can do it in the app under Settings → Account, or without the app by following these steps.
9. Your rights
Wherever you live, you can ask us to:
- give you a copy of your data (you can also export it in the app),
- correct it,
- delete it,
- restrict or object to how we use it,
- send it to you or another service in a portable format,
- withdraw any consent you've given.
Email support@sizmari.app; we'll reply within one month. If you're in the EU, EEA or UK, you can also complain to your local data-protection authority. California residents have the rights to know, delete and correct personal information, and not to be discriminated against for using them; we don't sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under California law.
10. Age requirement
Sizmari is only for people aged 16 and over. If we learn that someone under 16 has created an account, we delete it.
11. Security
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest on our servers, each account can only access its own data, and AI provider keys never leave our servers. No system is perfectly secure; if a breach puts your data at risk, we'll notify you and the relevant authorities as the law requires.
12. Changes to this policy
If we make material changes, we'll tell you in the app or by email before they take effect. The date at the top shows when this policy was last updated.
