Summary: Your saved journal data lives on your device. On Apple devices, it can also live in your personal iCloud. AI features send relevant personal context to Lumina’s generation service and its providers. Our service temporarily stores encrypted generation inputs and results to complete and deliver your request.
Lumina ("we", "our", or "the app") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our website or our iOS, iPadOS, or Android application.
We believe your journal is deeply personal. That's why:
Lumina saves your journal history in these locations:
On Apple devices, iCloud can sync your data and help restore it after reinstalling. On Android, current persistent app data stays on the device. AI generation is separate from your saved journal history: requests and results are temporarily stored by our generation service as described below.
Lumina uses AI for personalized Dreams, daily guidance, the AI companion, and related features. When you use one of these features, the context needed to generate your result may include your request, relevant Dream Life File details, recent journal entries, signs, preferences, and prior generated content.
Relevant context may be processed by Lumina’s generation service, hosted on Railway, and sent to Venice AI over encrypted connections for text generation and image processing. Requests may include selected journal photos when used to personalize a Dream. Some features and older versions call providers directly. Generated results are returned to the app and saved on your device and, on supported Apple devices, in your iCloud app data. Provider handling is governed by the applicable provider terms; this policy does not describe the entire generation pipeline as on-device or zero-retention.
If you choose to create or play an AI voice note, Lumina sends only the final generated narration text—not your raw journal entries or Dream Life File—to ElevenLabs so it can synthesize the audio. ElevenLabs handles that request under its own privacy and retention terms. The resulting audio is saved locally and, on Apple devices, may be backed up to your iCloud.
To let generation finish when the app is closed, our generation service stores encrypted job inputs, intermediate results, generated content, and audio in its database. A completed job is deleted when the app acknowledges receipt; unclaimed jobs are removed after their expiry by scheduled cleanup. Voice assignments and speech-planning records can be retained separately to keep recurring voices consistent. Limited usage, delivery, and abuse-prevention records are also stored separately. This job cleanup does not set retention for provider records, service logs, device storage, or backups.
Contact us at lumina.manifesting@gmail.com for questions about processing or deletion. Deleting an entry on your device does not itself confirm deletion of an in-flight generation request or a provider record.
We use the following third-party services:
HeyCatch helps us understand which website pages people visit, which links and buttons they use, which app screens they visit, and whether important app milestones are completed. We use this information to improve Lumina and understand whether our marketing is useful. App events are associated with a pseudonymous internal Lumina user ID. Lumina does not send HeyCatch your name, email, journal text, Dream narration, AI conversations, photos, birth details, or other private content.
Lumina uses Meta App Events to understand whether ads for Lumina lead to app installs, app launches, subscriptions, or other app activity. This helps us measure and improve our advertising.
On iOS, Lumina asks for permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt before enabling advertiser tracking. If you decline, we do not enable Meta advertiser tracking for your device. You can change this choice later in iOS Settings.
We do not share your journal entries, AI chat content, birth chart details, photos, or other private journal content with Meta for advertising.
Premium subscriptions may be processed through the App Store, Google Play, or Lumina's RevenueCat-hosted web checkout. Web checkout payments are processed securely by Stripe. Lumina does not receive or store your full payment-card information.
Lumina is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
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.
