Privacy Policy

Effective July 2, 2026

Who we are

Ember is a dream journal app for iPhone, made in Montréal, Canada. This policy covers the Ember website (emberdreamjournal.com) and its waiting list. Contact: hello@emberdreamjournal.com.

What we collect

When you join the waiting list, we store:

• your email address;
• the language you were browsing in and whether you indicated interest in an Android version;
• the country your request came from (derived from your connection, not your precise location) and the date you signed up.

Apart from the dream demo described below, that is all — no analytics, no advertising trackers.

How we use it

For one purpose: to write to you about Ember's availability — the launch, and at most a small number of updates directly related to it. We do not sell, rent, or share your email with anyone. No automated decision-making, no profiling.

Trying a dream on the website

The site offers a small taste of Ember: you can share one dream and receive an illustrated card and a short reading. If you choose to try it, we store the dream text you typed, your email address (which joins the waiting list, as above), the language of your visit, and a one-way scrambled version of your connection address, kept only to prevent abuse — the address itself is never stored.

To write the reading and paint the card, your dream text is sent to two providers acting on our behalf: OpenAI (the words) and fal.ai (the image). They receive the dream text alone — never your email, never your name. The demo is protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, which checks that you're human without tracking you across sites.

We keep your dream and its card so we can show your reading again, and we delete them promptly if you ask: hello@emberdreamjournal.com. One honest caveat: unlike dreams recorded in the app — which are end-to-end encrypted — a dream typed into the website demo travels to these providers to be read, so share only what you're comfortable sharing.

Where it lives

The list — and, if you try the dream demo, your dream and its card — is stored in a database operated by Cloudflare, our hosting provider, on infrastructure that may be located outside your country (including the United States). Cloudflare acts as a processor and does not use your data for its own purposes.

How long we keep it

Until Ember has launched and the waiting list has served its purpose, or until you ask us to remove you — whichever comes first. You can ask to be removed at any time.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (including under the EU's GDPR and Quebec's Law 25), you have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, and to withdraw consent. Write to hello@emberdreamjournal.com and we will honour your request promptly. You may also lodge a complaint with your local privacy authority (in Quebec, the Commission d'accès à l'information).

Cookies

This site sets no cookies. Your language preference is kept in your own browser's local storage and never sent to us.

The app

When the Ember app launches, it will have its own privacy policy. Its founding principle is already set: dream content is end-to-end encrypted and is never sold or used to train anything.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update this page and its effective date. Material changes affecting the waiting list will be announced to the list itself.
