If you choose to use AI-powered insights, selected check-in and journal data may be sent to a secure backend service to generate reflective summaries and patterns. InnerPulse does not use AI to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical or psychological condition. AI insights are for personal reflection only and do not replace professional help.

Free users may see ads served through Google AdMob. InnerPulse does not use your private journal text, emotional notes, or reflection answers to target ads. AdMob may process data such as device identifiers, ad interactions, approximate location, and other advertising-related information according to Google’s policies and your device settings.

InnerPulse may use third-party services including Firebase Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Firebase Storage, Firebase Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics, Firebase Cloud Messaging, Firebase Cloud Functions, Google AdMob, Google Play Billing, Apple In-App Purchase, and AI backend providers. These services may process data as needed to operate the app.

7. Data Sharing

We do not sell your journal content. We may share information only as needed to operate the app, process payments, serve ads to free users, comply with legal obligations, protect rights and safety, or provide services through trusted processors.

8. Data Retention

We keep your account and app data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service. You can delete entries, export your data, or request account deletion. Some diagnostic, billing, or legal records may be retained as required by law or platform rules.

9. Data Export and Account Deletion

You can export your data or delete your account from the app settings when available. Account deletion may require re-authentication. You can also contact us at support@innerpulse.app for help with account deletion or privacy requests.
