What I LovedAbout You Today

Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

What I Loved About You Today is a shared journal for exactly two people. This page explains what we collect, how it's processed, who can see it, and how it gets deleted, in plain language.

1. What we collect

  • Your account. You sign in with Apple, Google, or your email and a password. We keep your name and email address, and your profile photo if Google shares one.
  • Your content. The voice notes you record, the photos you add to your memories, the photos you add of yourself and your partner, and what the app makes from them: transcripts, summaries, titles, and illustrations.
  • People in your stories. Names of people and pets you mention. If you choose, a photo and a few details about them, so the art gets them right. Only add someone's photo with their okay.
  • Identifiers and settings. An internal user id that links your account to your journal, a token for push notifications, and your time zone so reminders arrive on time.
  • Usage analytics. Feature events (for example, “a note was recorded”) tied to opaque ids only, never your transcripts, names, or media.

2. How AI processes your data

The app sends your voice audio and the photos you add of people to Google's Gemini API, on Google's paid tier. Gemini transcribes and summarizes your notes, writes a short title, describes how each person looks, and draws the illustrations. To make the art look like you, the drawing step gets your summaries, first names, appearance descriptions, and those photos. Photos you add to a memory are only stored, not sent to Gemini. All of this runs on our servers. The AI keys never live on your phone.

Under Google's terms for paid Gemini services, your data is not used to train AI models.

3. Who can see your content

Exactly your couple: you and your partner. Nobody else can read your journal: not other users, and not the public. Links to your recordings, photos, and illustrations are token-protected, so they only work from inside your own journal.

4. Services we rely on

  • Google Firebase / Google Cloud: sign-in, database, and media storage.
  • Google Gemini: transcription, summaries, and illustrations (see section 2).
  • Apple: Sign in with Apple, if you choose it.
  • PostHog (United States): usage analytics. This website also counts a few anonymous visits and taps with it.
  • Sentry (European Union): crash reports.
  • Expo: app updates and push notifications.
  • Vercel: hosts this website.

5. Deleting your data

Deleting a memory removes it for both of you: recordings, photos, and art.

Deleting your account removes it right away and starts removing your voice notes and photos. A few older files can be left behind if the cleanup is cut short. Your partner keeps the shared journal, including the transcripts, summaries, and illustrations from your memories together. Want everything gone? Say hello and we'll do it by hand. If you leave a couple without deleting your account, the shared journal is archived rather than deleted, since it's both partners' history.
