The Short Version
Your reflections are yours. We do not sell your data, we do not share it with advertisers, and we do not train AI models on your personal content. We collect only what is needed to run Izel and make it useful to you.
What We Collect
- Email address — for authentication and account recovery.
- Profile data — your display name, word of the year, life areas, archetypes, and preferences you set in the app.
- Reflections and content — journal entries, celebrations, courage logs, goals, weekly reset data, and wheel scores. This is the core of Izel and is stored to provide your personal experience.
- Voice recordings — processed for transcription only. Audio is sent to our transcription provider, converted to text, and not stored after processing.
- Push notification tokens — if you opt in to notifications, we store your device token to send daily reminders.
- Subscription data — payment status and subscription IDs (managed by Lemon Squeezy). We do not store credit card numbers.
How We Use Your Data
- To provide your personal Izel experience — reflections, mirrors, nudges, and insights.
- To generate AI content (mirrors, affirmations, nudges) from your own entries. Your data is sent to our AI provider for real-time generation only. It is not used to train models.
- To send you push notifications (if you opt in).
- To process payments via Lemon Squeezy.
Third-Party Services
We use a small set of trusted providers to run Izel:
- Supabase — database and authentication. Your data is stored in a PostgreSQL database with row-level security.
- Groq — AI processing (text generation and voice transcription). Content is processed in real time and not retained by Groq for training.
- Lemon Squeezy — payment processing. Handles all billing and credit card information.
- Vercel — hosting and serverless infrastructure.
Data Security
All data is transmitted over HTTPS. Database access is protected by row-level security policies — you can only access your own data. API routes require authentication. We use rate limiting to prevent abuse.
Your Rights
- Export — you can export all your data as JSON from Settings at any time.
- Delete — you can permanently delete your account and all associated data from Settings. This action is irreversible.
- Access — all your data is visible to you within the app.
Cookies
We use essential cookies only: authentication session, onboarding status, and subscription status. No tracking cookies, no analytics cookies, no third-party advertising cookies.
Children
Izel is not intended for anyone under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as the product evolves. Significant changes will be communicated via the app or email.
