Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

Noctaras ("we", "us", or "our") is an AI-powered dream interpretation and journaling service accessible at noctaras.com. For any privacy-related matters, you can reach us at [email protected].

2. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly:

• Dream entries and journal content you write within the app
• Email address (if you create an account or subscribe to our newsletter)
• Payment information (processed securely by LemonSqueezy — we never see or store your card details)

Information collected automatically:

• Basic usage data (pages visited, features used) via anonymous analytics
• Browser type, device type, and general location (country level only)
• IP address (retained for security purposes, not used for tracking)

3. How We Use Your Information

• To provide and improve the dream interpretation and journaling service
• To process payments and manage your subscription
• To send transactional emails (account confirmation, receipts)
• To respond to your support requests
• To detect and prevent fraud or abuse
• To send product updates (only if you opt in)

We do not sell your personal data. We do not use your dream content for advertising. We do not build behavioral profiles for third-party marketing.

4. AI Processing & Third-Party Services

When you request a dream interpretation, your dream text is sent to OpenAI for processing. OpenAI processes this data according to their Privacy Policy. By using Noctaras, you acknowledge that your dream content will be processed by OpenAI's API.

We also use the following third-party services:

• LemonSqueezy — payment processing and subscription management
• Vercel — hosting and infrastructure

Each of these services has their own privacy policies and data processing terms.

5. Data Storage & Security

Your dream journal entries are stored locally in your browser's storage (localStorage) by default. They are not uploaded to our servers unless you create an account with cloud sync enabled.

We implement industry-standard security measures including HTTPS encryption for all data in transit. No method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to provide our services or as required by law:

• Account data: retained while your account is active, deleted within 30 days of account deletion request
• Payment records: retained for 7 years as required by financial regulations
• Support communications: retained for 2 years

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Correction — request correction of inaccurate data
• Deletion — request deletion of your personal data ("right to be forgotten")
• Portability — receive your data in a machine-readable format
• Objection — object to processing of your data for marketing purposes
• Withdraw consent — withdraw any previously given consent at any time

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Cookies

We use only essential cookies necessary for the service to function (such as session management and security). We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking cookies. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but this may affect the functionality of the service.

9. Children's Privacy

Noctaras is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the European Union). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately and we will delete it.

10. International Data Transfers

Noctaras is operated globally. Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own, including the United States. By using our service, you consent to this transfer. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for such transfers.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the new policy on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. For material changes, we will also send an email notification if you have an account with us. Your continued use of Noctaras after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
