Last updated: February 6, 2026

MyBons.ai ("we," "our," or "us") operates the MyBons.ai mobile application (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our App.

1. Information We Collect

Personal Information: When you create an account, we collect your email address for authentication purposes.

Journal Content: The text, photos, and videos you add to journal entries are stored locally on your device. If you enable cloud sync, this content is stored securely on our servers (Supabase).

Usage Data: We track basic usage metrics such as the number of entries created and features used, solely for enforcing subscription limits and improving the App.

AI Processing: When you use AI features (reflections, mantras, insights), your journal text is sent to OpenAI's API for processing. OpenAI does not use this data for training purposes per their API data usage policy.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

3. Data Storage & Security

Your journal entries are stored locally on your device by default. If you sign in and enable sync, entries are encrypted in transit and stored securely on Supabase (hosted on AWS).

Private entries are protected with a passcode that is hashed using SHA-256 before storage. We cannot access or recover your passcode.

We implement commercially reasonable security measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit (TLS/SSL) and at rest.

We use the following third-party services:

Supabase: Authentication and cloud data storage. Subject to Supabase's privacy policy.

PostHog: Privacy-respecting analytics to understand how features are used and improve the App. We collect anonymous usage events but never collect or store the content of your journal entries through analytics.

Apple: Subscription payment processing via the App Store. Subject to Apple's privacy policy.
