In short: Aparté collects no personal data. There is no account, no server, and your entries — what you write, your moods, your quotes — never leave your device. The only things that can ever leave, if you explicitly allow it, are an anonymous crash report or, if you turn on the beta AI recap feature, equally anonymous technical diagnostics — never the content of your journal.
For any question about this policy: contact@zenith-ai.dev.
Nothing. Aparté asks for no account, no email, no phone number. We operate no server that receives your data. We use no analytics and no advertising, and we embed no third-party trackers.
Everything you write — text, moods, emotions, tags — is stored in an encrypted database (SQLCipher, AES-256) on your device. The encryption key is random and never stored in plain form: it is sealed by your master password (derived with Argon2id), by your device's secure hardware if you enable biometrics, and by your recovery phrase if you generate one.
We have no technical means of reading your entries. If you lose both your password and your recovery phrase, nobody — including us — can recover your journal.
The analysis that suggests a mood from your words runs entirely on your device. No text is ever sent over the internet to be analysed. The suggestion is only a proposal: the mood that counts is the one you pick.
When you create a backup, Aparté produces an encrypted file that you save wherever you want (iCloud, Google Drive, your computer…). We don't host that file and have no access to it. If you choose the plain-text export, the app warns you explicitly before producing a readable file.
If the app crashes, it can send a technical report through Firebase Crashlytics (Google). This is off by default. It is only enabled if you answer "yes" during setup or in Settings, and you can turn it off at any time.
A report contains: the error and its stack trace, your device model, OS version and app version, plus an installation identifier generated by Firebase. A report never contains the content of your entries, your moods, your tags, or your password. We attach no personal identifier to these reports.
This data is processed by Google as a processor. Legal basis: your consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a)), withdrawable at any time. See the Firebase privacy policy.
Aparté offers, as an option, a narrative recap of your week written by an AI that runs entirely on your device (Apple's system models, on compatible devices). This feature is currently in beta and off by default: it only turns on after explicit consent in Settings, where the app explains the following before you enable it.
The text of your journal, the quotes a recap draws on, and the themes extracted from it never leave your device — not during generation, and not in the diagnostics below. If you turn this feature on, the app may send, through Firebase Crashlytics, anonymous technical reports meant to evaluate and improve the beta: whether the model is available on your device, whether a given generation succeeded or failed, a generic error code (not the error message, which could quote your text), how long generation took, your device model and interface language, and your explicit feedback ("does this recap ring true?") as a simple yes/no. These reports never contain the content of your journal, your quotes, your themes, or your mood.
This data is processed by Google as a processor, under the same legal basis as crash reports: your consent, withdrawable at any time in Settings.
Aparté is a paid app. The transaction is handled entirely by Apple's App Store or the Google Play Store depending on your platform: we never see or store your payment details. The app contains no in-app purchases and exchanges no data with any payment service.
We do not sell, rent or share any personal data, for the simple reason that we hold none. The only third parties involved are those mentioned above (Google for optional crash reports and AI beta diagnostics, Apple or Google for purchases).
The GDPR grants you rights of access, rectification, erasure, portability and objection. With Aparté, you exercise these directly from the app, since you are the sole holder of your data:
You may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority (in France, the CNIL).
Aparté is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect any data about them.
Aparté is not a medical device. It provides no diagnosis and does not replace care from a health professional.
If this policy changes, the date at the top will be updated. Any change that would widen data collection would be asked of you explicitly inside the app, never imposed silently.
