🪶 Raven
Privacy Policy
Effective date: 15 May 2026
Raven ("we", "us", or "our") is a personal diary app that uses AI to help you reflect on your life. We take your privacy seriously - your diary is yours.
1. What we collect
- Account data: Your name and email address (or Apple/Google ID) used to sign in.
- Diary entries and conversations: The text and photos you add, plus your entry-linked conversations with Raven. Text and conversation messages are stored in our database. Photos are uploaded to and stored in cloud object storage (Cloudflare R2 / Amazon S3) and linked to your entry. Photos are also sent to an AI provider to generate a description; the provider processes them to return a result and does not retain them.
- Usage data: Basic logs (request timestamps, error logs) to keep the service running. No analytics SDKs, no tracking pixels.
- Push notification tokens: If you enable notifications, we store a device token to send you reminders.
2. How we use your data
- To provide the core service: storing, retrieving, and displaying your entries.
- To power AI features: your entries, entry-linked conversation messages, and a rolling summary are sent to an AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Gemini) to generate responses, reflections, and suggestions. Photos attached to entries are also sent for image description. These requests are not used to train their models.
- To store your photos: photos you attach to entries are stored in cloud object storage (Cloudflare R2 / Amazon S3) and are only accessible by you via your authenticated session.
- To send you opt-in push notifications (evening nudges, goal reminders).
- We do not sell, rent, or share your data with advertisers or third parties beyond what is necessary to run the service.
3. AI providers
When you use AI features, relevant portions of your diary entries are sent to one of the following providers to generate a response:
These providers process data only to return a response and do not use your content for model training under their API terms.
4. Data storage and security
Your diary text and account data is stored in a PostgreSQL database hosted on Railway (railway.app), located in the United States. Photos and images are stored in Cloudflare R2 / Amazon S3 object storage, also in the United States. We use HTTPS for all data in transit. Vault entries are flagged as private and excluded from shared views.
5. Data retention and deletion
Your data is retained as long as your account exists. You can permanently delete your account and associated app data from Settings → Delete account in the Raven app. You can also contact hello@codepulse.dev for privacy questions.
6. Subscriptions and payments
Payments are processed by Apple (App Store) or Google (Play Store). We do not store your payment card details. Subscription status is synced via RevenueCat (revenuecat.com) - Privacy Policy.
7. Children
Raven is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.
8. Your rights
You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. Contact us at hello@codepulse.dev for any privacy-related requests.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We'll update the effective date above and, for material changes, notify you in the app.
