Summary: Your saved journal data lives on your device. On Apple devices, it can also live in your personal iCloud. Lumina does not operate servers that store your journal, Dream Life File, or AI conversations. AI features send only the context needed to fulfill your request to the provider described below.
Lumina ("we", "our", or "the app") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our website or our iOS, iPadOS, or Android application.
We believe your journal is deeply personal. That's why:
Your persistent Lumina data stays in storage controlled by you:
On Apple devices, iCloud can sync your data and help restore it after reinstalling. On Android, current persistent app data stays on the device. Lumina does not maintain a separate copy on its own servers.
Lumina uses AI for personalized Dreams, daily guidance, the AI companion, and related features. When you use one of these features, the context needed to generate your result may include your request, relevant Dream Life File details, recent journal entries, signs, preferences, and prior generated content.
This context is sent directly to Venice AI over an encrypted connection for private, real-time processing. Lumina uses a private Venice model with zero data retention. Venice does not store or log prompts or model responses, and the content is not used to train models. The generated result is returned to Lumina and may then be saved on your device or, on Apple devices, in your iCloud as part of your app data.
If you choose to create or play an AI voice note, Lumina sends only the final generated narration text—not your raw journal entries or Dream Life File—to ElevenLabs so it can synthesize the audio. ElevenLabs handles that request under its own privacy and retention terms. The resulting audio is saved locally and, on Apple devices, may be backed up to your iCloud.
We use the following third-party services:
HeyCatch helps us understand which website pages people visit, which links and buttons they use, which app screens they visit, and whether important app milestones are completed. We use this information to improve Lumina and understand whether our marketing is useful. App events are associated with a pseudonymous internal Lumina user ID. Lumina does not send HeyCatch your name, email, journal text, Dream narration, AI conversations, photos, birth details, or other private content.
Lumina uses Meta App Events to understand whether ads for Lumina lead to app installs, app launches, subscriptions, or other app activity. This helps us measure and improve our advertising.
On iOS, Lumina asks for permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt before enabling advertiser tracking. If you decline, we do not enable Meta advertiser tracking for your device. You can change this choice later in iOS Settings.
We do not share your journal entries, AI chat content, birth chart details, photos, or other private journal content with Meta for advertising.
Premium subscriptions may be processed through the App Store, Google Play, or Lumina's RevenueCat-hosted web checkout. Web checkout payments are processed securely by Stripe. Lumina does not receive or store your full payment-card information.
Lumina is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
