privacy

What we collect

When you create an account, we store your email address and a password, which Supabase hashes before it ever reaches our database. We store the language you selected.

From that point on, what Reveries holds about you is what you put into it. The dreams you record. The conversations you have with Marie-Louise. The patterns she observes over time and the portrait that forms from them. Any feedback you send us. Anything you write in the guestbook. A small number of preferences, such as whether Marie-Louise responds automatically and what time you tend to wake.

Nothing else.

What we do with it

Your dreams stay with you. They are visible only to you in the app, and they are used only for the purposes you have consented to: your own reflection, your conversations with Marie-Louise, and, if you have opted in, contribution to the anonymised atlas.

When you save a dream, its text is sent to OpenAI''s embedding service to generate the mathematical representation that allows Marie-Louise to find resonances across your own journal and, where relevant, the wider corpus. The text is not retained by OpenAI for training. The embedding is stored with your dream in our Frankfurt database.

When you talk to Marie-Louise, your conversation is sent to Anthropic''s Claude API to generate her reply. Anthropic does not retain the exchange for training. The conversation is stored in our database so you can return to it.

Supabase sends transactional emails on our behalf: sign-in links, password resets, and the confirmation when you unsubscribe from future messages. These are operational, not marketing. We do not send you newsletters or promotional material unless you have explicitly asked for them.

Where your data lives

Your email is stored in Supabase, hosted in Frankfurt. We chose the European region deliberately, so your data stays under EU data-protection law and close to most of the people we expect to reach first.

When you begin recording dreams

Every dream you record is private by default. It sits in your journal, visible only to you.

If at some point you wish to contribute what your dreams carry to the collective atlas, that is a separate, deliberate gesture. You can offer a single dream. You can enable ongoing contribution. You can revoke either at any time. What travels to the atlas is never the raw text. It is the anonymised signal: symbols, archetypal patterns, emotional tone, the country-level shape of where the dream was dreamt.

Publishing a conversation with Marie-Louise is a third, distinct choice. Nothing is ever published without you making that gesture yourself.

Marie-Louise and language models

When you bring a dream to Marie-Louise, the dream text is sent to our language-model provider for the duration of that request only. The provider does not retain it for their own training. If you delete a dream, it is deleted — from our database and from any derived records.

Your dreams will never be used to train AI models without explicit, separate consent. We will not sell them. We will not share them with advertisers, with insurers, or with any third party for analytical purposes. Dreams are not an advertising signal and we will not treat them as one.

The atlas of 29,345 public dream reports from DreamBank is legally and architecturally distinct from your personal journal. That corpus was collected and made public by researchers under their own consent framework. Nothing you write will ever be added to it without a specific, additional opt-in on your part.

Your rights

You can leave at any time. In the app, go to Settings, then Account, then Delete my account. When you confirm, Reveries begins a cascade that removes your dreams, your conversations with Marie-Louise, the patterns she has observed, your portrait, your guestbook entries, your feedback, and finally the account itself. Derived artefacts, such as the titles Marie-Louise generated for your dreams and any internal logs of fragments she retrieved during your conversations, are purged alongside the dreams they came from.

There is a brief recovery window of twenty-four hours before deletion becomes permanent. After that, the data is gone.

The one deliberate exception is any dream you have consciously offered to the atlas. Offering is an irreversible gesture. The anonymised signal from that dream remains part of the collective record, as you intended when you offered it.

If you would rather correct or export your data than delete it, write to privacy@reveries.world and we will respond within thirty days, as required under the Swiss FADP and the GDPR where it applies.
