Welcome to Nova Rain – your personal space for journaling and self-reflection. Your privacy is extremely important to us. This policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your data when you use our app or website.

We comply with all major data protection laws, including PIPEDA (Canada), GDPR (EU), and CCPA (California).

1. Information We Collect

We collect only what we need to operate:

  • Email Address (for login and recovery only)

We do not access your contacts, photos, microphone, location, or any other device data.

2. Journal Data Handling

Your entries are stored anonymously using a secure token—not your name or email. Entries are analyzed using AI to offer insights, feedback, and summaries. Your data is never shared, sold, or used for advertising.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • Improve the app through anonymized usage patterns

5. Data Security

We use end-to-end encryption, HTTPS, and secure storage. Your journal data is anonymized and stored separately from login credentials.

6. Data Retention & Deletion

You can delete your account anytime. A link within your account profile allows you to delete all of your information and journal entries.  This action is permanent and cannot be undone.

7. Children’s Privacy

Nova Rain is not intended for children under 13. If we discover such data, we delete it immediately.

8. Updates to This Policy

We may revise this policy. Significant updates will be communicated via email or in-app message.
