The heart of Olune lives only on your device — never on our servers. This includes your tasks, focus sessions, mood entries, body check-ins, habits, spoon and social-battery logs, sleep and medication records, DBT diary cards, parked thoughts, your RSD journal, your AI chat history, and your safety plan.
This data is stored in Olune's private on-device database. We can't see it, and it never leaves your phone unless you explicitly choose to share or export it. Uninstalling Olune, or using "Delete all my data" in Settings, permanently removes it.
By default, Olune doesn't ask for your name, email, or any account. Your data is tied only to a random ID generated on your device — not to your identity.
You can optionally create an account if you want recovery features. If you choose to, we store a username and a securely hashed passphrase, and — only if you provide them — an encrypted recovery email or a Google sign-in. This is always optional. Olune works fully without it.
A small, specific set of things need our servers to work:
That's the full list. Sensitive entries — your RSD journal, self-harm urge ratings, and safety plan — never leave your device under any circumstances.
Olune's AI features are powered by Anthropic's Claude. When you use them, your message and limited context are sent to Anthropic to generate a reply. We don't store these conversations on our servers, and Olune contains no advertising, analytics, or tracking. Anthropic's handling of the data sent to it is governed by their privacy policy (anthropic.com/privacy).
We do not sell, rent, or share your data for advertising or marketing. Olune contains no analytics services, no ad networks, no crash-reporting or tracking SDKs, and sends no background usage data. The only third parties involved are our AI provider (Anthropic), the service that delivers notifications, and — only if you provide a recovery email — an email provider to send that one message.
Your on-device data: kept until you delete it. Everything listed in section 1 is stored only on your device, for as long as you choose to keep it. We never receive or retain a copy. It is removed permanently when you use "Delete all my data" in Settings, or when you uninstall Olune. These actions cannot be undone.
AI conversations: not retained. We do not store your AI conversations on our servers at any point. Your chat history is kept only on your device. Anthropic's retention of data sent to it is governed by their own policy.
Optional account data: kept until you delete your account. If you create an account, we retain your username, hashed passphrase, and (if provided) encrypted recovery email until you delete it. "Delete all my data" in Settings permanently removes your account and every associated record from our servers.
Device identifier: kept while you use the app. A random device ID is retained to apply usage limits to AI features. It is not linked to your identity unless you create an account, and it is deleted when you delete your data.
Connection and reminder data: short-lived. Body-doubling connection information is not stored long-term. Reminder settings are retained only while reminders are enabled, and are deleted when you disable them or delete your data.
Deletion requests. You can delete everything yourself in the app at any time — see our data deletion page. If you are unable to, email privacy@olune.org and we will action verified requests within 30 days.
Under GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA, and similar laws, you have the right to access your data, delete it at any time (Settings → Delete all my data), and understand how it's used (this policy). Because Olune identifies you by a device ID rather than an account by default, data on one device can't be accessed from another. If you'd like help exercising your rights, contact us at privacy@olune.org.
Olune is intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has used Olune, please contact us at privacy@olune.org.
