Privacy Policy

When you use Dream Locket, all of the following lives locally on your iPhone or iPad:

• The dreams, titles, intentions, and notes you write
• Tags you create and how dreams are organized
• Favorites and entry timestamps
• App settings and preferences

None of it is sent to Dream Locket, to Julian Kingman, or to any third-party server.

If you turn on iCloud sync, your journal is mirrored across devices signed into your Apple ID via Apple's iCloud infrastructure. The data lives in a private iCloud container tied to your account — Dream Locket has no servers in the path and cannot read its contents.

Apple's handling of iCloud data is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.

Dream Locket does not make any network requests for its core functionality. Your dreams are never sent to Dream Locket, to Julian Kingman, or to any third-party AI service or cloud API. The only network activity the app participates in is Apple's iCloud sync — and only if you turn it on.

Dream Locket protects your data on-device with:

• Face ID (or device passcode) to unlock the app, with automatic re-locking when the app moves to the background
• Encryption-at-rest for every entry, using keys derived on your device — entries are never stored in plaintext
• Standard iOS data protection for the underlying database

If you lose your device, please follow Apple's guidance for a lost or stolen iPhone.

If you obtained Dream Locket through TestFlight or the App Store, Apple itself collects certain information — such as crash reports, install statistics, and basic usage telemetry — as part of operating those platforms. This information is shared with Julian Kingman by Apple in aggregate or anonymized form, and is governed by Apple's policies, not this one.

Dream Locket itself does not bundle any additional analytics, crash reporting, or telemetry SDKs.

Dream Locket is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect information from anyone. Since the app collects no information at all, this section is short by design.

Because everything lives on your device, you are in full control:

• Delete an entry: tap delete inside the app — it's gone from the device immediately
• Delete everything: uninstall Dream Locket; iOS removes the app and its local database
• Turn off iCloud sync: disable it in app settings (or remove Dream Locket from iCloud in your iOS Settings) and your iCloud copies are removed per Apple's normal process
• Export your journal: use the in-app export to take your dreams with you in a portable format

There is no "request my data" or "delete my account" process to go through with Dream Locket, because there is no account and no copy of your data anywhere we hold.

If this policy meaningfully changes, the effective date at the top of this page will be updated and a brief note will appear in the app's release notes. Significant changes that affect how data is handled will be highlighted clearly.
