Privacy Policy

Introduction

At Dreams, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our app. We believe in transparency and want you to understand exactly what data we handle and why.

Dreams is designed with privacy as a core principle. Your financial goals, savings data, and personal information stay private and secure on your device or in your personal iCloud account.

Where Your Data is Stored

Your user data is stored in only two places:

Locally on your device - All your goals, savings progress, and financial information are stored directly on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
In your personal iCloud account - If you enable iCloud syncing, your data is encrypted and stored in your personal iCloud account for synchronization across your Apple devices.

We do not operate any servers to store your data. Your financial information, goals, savings amounts, and transaction history are never uploaded to or shared with our servers. We do not have access to your data—only you and Apple (for iCloud syncing) can access it.

All data synced through iCloud is encrypted and stored securely in your personal iCloud account. This data is subject to Apple's iCloud Terms and Conditions and Apple's Privacy Policy.

End-to-End Encryption: In certain countries and regions, Apple offers Advanced Data Protection for iCloud, which provides end-to-end encryption for most iCloud data, including your Dreams goals and savings data. When enabled, this means that even Apple cannot access your encrypted data. You can enable this feature in your iCloud settings if it's available in your region.

You can disable iCloud syncing at any time in your device settings, though this will prevent your goals and progress from syncing across devices.

Data Syncing with iCloud

Dreams uses iCloud to sync your goals, savings progress, and settings across your Apple devices. This includes:

Your savings goals and targets
Progress tracking and milestones
Transaction history and savings entries
App settings and preferences

This synchronization ensures that your goals and progress are up-to-date across all your Apple devices, providing a seamless experience whether you're using your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

Analytics and Crash Reporting

To help us improve Dreams, we collect anonymized usage analytics and crash reports through TelemetryDeck.

TelemetryDeck Analytics

We use TelemetryDeck to collect anonymized usage analytics. This helps us understand how the app is used so we can fix bugs, improve performance, and enhance the user experience.

The analytics we collect are completely anonymized and do NOT include:

Your financial data, goals, or savings amounts
Personal information or identifiers
Your name, email, or any contact information
Your device's unique identifiers
Any transaction details or financial information
Your story content or any text you enter

The anonymized data may include:

App version and device type (e.g., iPhone 15, iPad Pro)
iOS/macOS version
General usage patterns (e.g., features used, session duration)
Crash reports and error information (without personal data)

This data is processed by TelemetryDeck in accordance with their privacy policy. You can learn more about TelemetryDeck's privacy practices and terms at:

Apple's Automatic Tracking

Apple automatically collects crash logs and statistics through the App Store and system-level analytics. This includes:

Crash reports and error information
App usage statistics
Performance metrics

This data is collected by Apple and is subject to Apple's Privacy Policy. You can manage these settings in your device's Privacy settings. We may receive anonymized crash reports and statistics from Apple to help us identify and fix issues in the app.

Information We Don't Collect

We want to be clear about what we don't collect:

Your financial goals or savings amounts
Transaction details or financial information
Personal information like your name or email (unless you contact us directly)
Location data
Photos or other media from your device
Contacts or other personal data
Browsing history or activity outside the app

Data Security

Your financial data is stored locally on your device. When you enable iCloud syncing, your data is encrypted and stored securely in your personal iCloud account, protected by Apple's security measures.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data stored on your device is protected by your device's security features, including passcodes and biometric authentication (Face ID or Touch ID).

Your Rights

You have the right to:

Access your data: Your goals and savings data are stored locally on your device and in your iCloud account
Delete your data: You can delete goals and entries directly in the app or through your iCloud settings
Disable syncing: You can turn off iCloud syncing at any time in your device settings
Opt out of analytics: You can disable analytics collection in your device's Privacy settings

Children's Privacy

Dreams is suitable for users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Since all data is stored locally or in iCloud and we only collect anonymized analytics, there is minimal data collection that could affect children.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
