Privacy Policy

For Noctra – Dream Journal & AI by Hien Nguyen Last updated: 2026-04-02

Terms of Use

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Noctra – Dream Journal & AI (“Noctra”, the “Service”) collects, uses, and protects your information when you use the app. Noctra is operated by Hien Nguyen (“we”, “our”, or “us”).

Noctra is designed as a private dream journaling app. We aim to minimize data collection and process information only as needed to provide the features you choose to use.

1. Information We Collect

Dream and journal content

When you use Noctra, you may create and store dream-related content such as:

  • Dream descriptions and notes
  • Voice recordings or transcripts, if you choose to use voice input
  • Dream metadata such as mood, symbols, vividness, and tags
  • AI-generated insights, summaries, and visualizations

By default, this content is stored locally on your device unless you choose to use features that require cloud or third-party processing.

Usage and diagnostic data

We may collect limited usage information, crash logs, and diagnostic data to improve app stability, fix bugs, and understand feature usage.

Purchase and subscription data

If you purchase a subscription or in-app product, billing is processed by Apple. We do not receive your full payment details.

2. How We Use Information

We use information to:

  • Store and display your dream entries and related app data
  • Generate AI insights, summaries, and dream visualizations when you request them
  • Improve app performance, reliability, and user experience
  • Provide customer support and respond to your inquiries
Privacy First

We do not sell your personal data, use your dream content for advertising, or build advertising profiles based on your journal content.

3. AI & Third-Party Processing

Some features of Noctra use artificial intelligence to generate dream insights, symbolic interpretations, or visualizations. When you choose to use these features, the following types of data may be processed:

  • Dream text you provide
  • Selected dream metadata, such as mood, symbols, and tags
  • Optional prompts or settings related to visualization and analysis

AI processing may involve third-party providers such as cloud AI services, analytics services, and related infrastructure partners. We only send the information reasonably necessary to provide the feature you have chosen to use.

  • AI features are optional and require your action or consent to use
  • AI outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, or subjective
  • Dream interpretations are intended for personal reflection only
  • AI outputs should not be treated as medical, mental health, legal, or financial advice

Third-party providers process data according to their own terms and privacy policies.

4. Data Storage

Noctra is designed to store your dream data locally on your device whenever possible.

  • Dream entries and related metadata are generally stored on-device
  • Generated outputs may be cached locally for performance and convenience
  • We do not maintain a central database of your personal dream journal content unless a future cloud-sync feature is explicitly enabled by you

5. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including:

  • Secure communications where cloud features are used
  • Local storage isolation provided by the operating system
  • Limiting transmitted data to what is necessary for requested features

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Your Choices

You can choose how you use Noctra:

  • You may use Noctra without enabling optional AI features
  • You may decline AI processing and continue using basic journaling features
  • You may delete your app data at any time by removing content in the app or deleting the app and its local data from your device

7. Children’s Privacy

Noctra is not intended for children under 13, or the minimum age required by applicable law in your jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

8. Data Retention

Because most dream content is stored locally on your device, retention is generally controlled by you.

  • Local data remains on your device until you delete it
  • Third-party AI providers may temporarily process data as needed to generate requested outputs
  • Diagnostic or analytics data may be retained for a limited period for service improvement and security

9. International Transfers

If you use AI or cloud-based features, your data may be processed on servers located outside your country of residence, depending on the service providers involved. By using those features, you understand that your data may be transferred internationally as required to deliver the requested functionality.

10. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights under applicable privacy laws, including rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain processing of your information.

Because much of Noctra’s data is stored locally on your device, you can often exercise these rights directly by managing or deleting your data within the app or on your device. For other questions, contact us using the details below.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Service after an updated policy becomes effective means you accept the revised Privacy Policy.
