Our Principles

Last updated: May 1, 2026

A summary of how Mindspace treats your data, in plain language. The full legal documents are at Privacy and Terms.

We don't store your content on our servers

Mindspace is local-first. Your journal entries, photos, drawings, and trackers live on your device. If you turn on iCloud sync, your data is stored on Apple's servers — not ours. We don't operate any servers that hold your content. Anonymous analytics tell us which features are used, never what you write.

We don't train AI on your content

The AI features in Mindspace (like IntentionOptimizer) run entirely on your device using Apple's Foundation Models framework. Your content never leaves your device for AI processing, and we never use your content to train, fine-tune, or evaluate any AI model.

We don't sell your data

We have never sold personal information, and we have no plans to. We don't work with data brokers, and we never share your journal content with anyone.

We don't show ads in the app

Mindspace is supported entirely by paid subscriptions. No banner ads, no sponsored content in your journal, no third-party upsells.

We measure which ads bring people to Mindspace — with your consent

We run paid acquisition campaigns on Meta (Facebook / Instagram). To know which campaigns work, the App includes Meta's iOS SDK. When iOS shows you the App Tracking Transparency prompt:

  • If you tap Ask App Not to Track, no advertising identifier is shared with Meta. Install attribution falls back to Apple's privacy-preserving aggregate measurement.
  • If you tap Allow, your Apple Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) is shared with Meta along with anonymous install and subscription events.

No journal content, photos, drawings, or tracker data is ever sent to Meta. You can change your tracking decision any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.

You own your content

You retain full ownership of everything you create in Mindspace. We don't take a license to your content. You can export everything as JSON or ZIP at any time, and you can delete everything by uninstalling the App.

You can verify all of this

These principles are reflected in our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. If you ever spot a contradiction between what we say here and what we do, please email support@getmindspace.app — we'll fix it.
