Effective Date: 2025-01-01

At eDiary, we are deeply committed to safeguarding your privacy and the confidentiality of your personal information. Our mission is to provide you with a secure and trustworthy digital journaling experience. This Privacy Policy elucidates how we handle your data, both locally on your device and, for our members, in the cloud. By utilizing eDiary, you consent to the practices delineated in this Privacy Policy.

1. Data Storage and Encryption

a. Local Storage:
All data generated within eDiary is encrypted locally on your device before storage. This ensures that your journal entries, notes, and other sensitive information remain confidential and inaccessible to unauthorized parties.

b. Cloud Synchronization:
For our members who elect for cloud synchronization, we offer a secure solution to keep your journal entries synchronized across multiple devices. Data synchronized to our cloud servers is encrypted, utilizing your unique cloud service password as the encryption key. This ensures that only you can access and decrypt your data, and we, as the service provider, do not have the capability to view or utilize your personal information.

2. AI Writing Assistant (ChatGPT Integration)

eDiary offers an AI Writing Assistant powered by ChatGPT to augment your writing experience. When you engage with the AI Writing Assistant, your interactions are facilitated through a secure connection to ChatGPT. It is important to note that, while your data is transmitted securely, it is processed by ChatGPT during the interaction.

Privacy Considerations with ChatGPT:

• Data Exposure: As the interaction occurs through ChatGPT, your inputs and any associated data may be processed and stored by ChatGPT in accordance with their privacy policies and terms of service. eDiary does not have access to, nor control over, the data handling practices of ChatGPT.
• eDiary's Role: eDiary serves as an intermediary, facilitating a secure connection between you and ChatGPT. We do not retain, store, or use any data related to your interactions with the AI Writing Assistant.

Security Measures:
We ensure that the connection to ChatGPT is secured using advanced encryption techniques to protect your data during transmission. However, please be mindful that the privacy and data handling practices of ChatGPT are governed by their own policies, which you should review for a comprehensive understanding of how your data is managed when using the AI Writing Assistant.

3. Encrypted Data Storage and Server Role

In providing data synchronization services, eDiary's servers do store your data, but crucially, this data is encrypted. Your diary entries, notes, and other personal information are encrypted using your cloud service password as the encryption key before being uploaded to the server. This ensures that only you, with the corresponding decryption key (your cloud service password), can access and decrypt your data.

It's important to note that our servers act solely as intermediaries for data storage and transmission. They do not have the capability to decrypt or access your personal data. Our system design prioritizes the security of your data both in transit and at rest, safeguarding against unauthorized access or breaches.

By adopting this encrypted storage mechanism, we uphold your data privacy and security while delivering a seamless data synchronization service that allows you to access and manage your diary content across multiple devices effortlessly.

4. Privacy and Data Protection Commitments

We are steadfast in maintaining the highest standards of privacy and data protection. We regularly review and enhance our security measures to safeguard against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of your personal information.

5. User Responsibilities

It is your responsibility to keep your device and cloud service password secure. Sharing your password with others or failing to protect it could compromise the security of your data.

6. Changes to the Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, technologies, or legal requirements. Any significant changes will be communicated to our users through the app or via email. By continuing to use eDiary after such changes are made, you agree to be bound by the revised Privacy Policy.

8. Additional Information

Please note that while we take every measure to protect your privacy, no system can be 100% secure. By using eDiary, you understand and accept that there are inherent risks associated with digital storage and transmission of personal information.

Thank you for choosing eDiary. We are committed to providing you with a secure, private, and enjoyable journaling experience.
