When you register, we collect your email address, a hashed password, timestamp and version of your consent, and your age confirmation (at least 16 years old).
We store a RevenueCat user identifier to associate your account with your subscription status. RevenueCat manages all billing and subscription data — see Section 6.
By default, your journal entries are written and stored encrypted locally on your device.
AI processing is strictly optional. If and only when the AI Companion is explicitly enabled by you, the App transmits the following data to our backend at reasoning-apps.cloud (hosted on IONOS cloud servers in Spain):
en, es) to generate responses in your preferred language.Purpose & Non-Clinical Nature: This data is processed solely for generating reflective follow-up questions and weekly summaries. The App and its AI companion do not provide medical, clinical, psychiatric, or therapeutic diagnosis or treatment.
Zero-Training Guarantee & Ephemeral Processing: Journal entries and contextual excerpts are processed ephemerally in real time and are NEVER used to train, retrain, or fine-tune AI foundation models. There is no persistent storage of journal text on our AI proxy servers; all transmitted journal text is discarded immediately after the AI response is generated.
We also record an audit ledger of when you enabled, re-consented, or withdrew AI consent, together with the consent version (currently ai-companion-2), as required for regulatory compliance.
We may collect minimal technical data necessary to operate the service, such as server error logs. This data never includes journal content.
AI processing is strictly optional and based entirely on your explicit opt-in consent.

RevenueCat Privacy Policy • RevenueCat Terms
Purchases are processed by Apple or Google. Their privacy policies apply to payment data. We do not receive or store your payment information.
AI companion requests and responses are routed through our dedicated endpoint at reasoning-apps.cloud, hosted on IONOS cloud servers in Spain (European Union / EEA jurisdiction). Our self-hosted language model service processes journal entries and excerpts solely for the seconds required to generate your reflective question or weekly summary. It retains zero persistent storage of journal text and operates under our Zero-Training Guarantee. Processing is conducted under explicit opt-in consent pursuant to GDPR Art. 6(1)(a) and Art. 9(2)(a).
| Data type | Retention period |
|---|---|
| Account data | Until account deletion + 30 days |
| Consent records | 3 years from consent date (legal obligation) |
| AI companion consent events (audit ledger) | 3 years from the event (audit record) |
| Journal content & excerpts (AI processing) | Zero persistent storage — processed ephemerally in real time and discarded immediately once the AI response is returned |
| Local journal database | Stored encrypted locally on your device under your complete control |
| Subscription records (via RevenueCat) | Per RevenueCat’s policy |
| Inactive accounts | Anonymized after 2 years of inactivity |
You can request a copy of all personal data we hold about you. You can also export your journal entries directly from the App at any time using the in-app PDF export feature, or request an export of your account data in JSON format.
You can correct inaccurate data via the Settings screen in the App.
You can request complete account and data deletion directly within the App (Settings → Delete Account) or by contacting us at beltran-apps@outlook.com. We will complete the erasure within 30 days.
AI processing is strictly optional. You can withdraw your AI companion consent at any time directly in the App via Settings > Privacy & AI > AI Companion (by toggling the AI Companion off). Withdrawal takes effect immediately: all data transmission to the AI backend immediately halts, and your journal data remains 100% on your device. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) — here, the processing of technical/error logs described in this policy. If you object, we will stop processing that data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. This right does not apply to the AI Companion, which is based on your consent; to stop that processing, withdraw your consent as described above.
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, in particular in the EU/EEA Member State of your habitual residence, your place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR (Art. 77). We would appreciate the chance to address your concern first — contact us at beltran-apps@outlook.com.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at: beltran-apps@outlook.com. We will respond within 30 days.
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data, including encrypted local storage on your device by default, encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS), encryption at rest of account identifiers such as email addresses, and strict access controls on our backend systems.
Our backend infrastructure (reasoning-apps.cloud) is hosted on IONOS cloud servers in Spain, strictly within the European Union / EEA jurisdiction. We do not transfer your personal data outside the EU/EEA except through RevenueCat, which maintains Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) for GDPR compliance.
Cotidie is not directed at children under 16, in line with GDPR Art. 8. Registration requires you to confirm you are at least 16 years old (the confirmation is never pre-ticked), and that confirmation is recorded for audit purposes. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us at beltran-apps@outlook.com and we will delete it promptly.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes via the App or email. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
