Privacy policy

Dream Journal: Lucid Dreaming is published by DIGITAL SHIJIL LLC. Last updated 23 October 2026.

The short version

Your dreams stay on your device. The app has no account, no server, no ads and no analytics, and it cannot connect to the internet.

What the app stores, and where

Your dream entries, tags, dream signs, sketches and settings are stored only in the app's private storage on your device.
They are excluded from Android's automatic cloud backup and from device-to-device transfer. If you switch phones, use the encrypted backup file described below.
If you turn on app lock, the app asks Android to verify your fingerprint, face or device PIN. The app never sees or stores any of them.
If you turn on reality-check reminders, the app schedules local notifications on your device. Nothing is sent anywhere.

What the app does not do

No account or sign-in.
No advertising and no advertising identifiers.
No analytics, tracking or crash-reporting library.
No network access: the app does not declare the internet permission.
No microphone permission: if you dictate, you use your own keyboard's voice typing, which is governed by that keyboard's own policy.
No interpretation, prediction or sharing of your dreams.

Exports and backups

You can export your data as a JSON file, a PDF (Pro), or an encrypted backup file (Pro). You choose where the file is saved. The encrypted backup uses AES-256-GCM with a key derived from a passphrase you choose. We never see or store the passphrase, so it cannot be recovered if you forget it.

Purchases and Diagnostics

Pro is bought through Google Play Billing. Google handles payment and receives purchase information under its own policy. Google Play Billing also sends Diagnostics (crash and performance information) to Google. In Google Play's Data safety form this is declared as: App info and performance, Diagnostics, collected, not shared, required. The app itself does not receive your payment details.

Data type	Collected	Shared
Diagnostics (via Google Play Billing)	Yes, required	No
Everything else	No	No

Deleting your data

Open Settings and choose Delete all data. This erases every dream, sketch, setting and reminder on the device. Uninstalling the app also removes it. Because nothing is stored on a server, there is nothing for us to delete on our side.

Children

The app is not designed for children under 13.

Health

This app is a personal journal and a practice aid. It does not diagnose, treat or interpret anything. If upsetting dreams keep returning, please talk to a doctor or another health professional.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be published at this address with a new date.
