Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 6, 2026

Remember Me ("the app", "we", "us") is a personal memory assistant for iOS. This policy explains what data the app handles, how it is protected, and the choices you have. We designed the app to keep your personal facts private by default.

In short: Your memories are encrypted on your device with a key that never leaves your Keychain. We don't sell your data or use it for advertising. Recall answers are composed by an AI service using only a bounded set of your recent facts.

1. Information we handle

Memories you create. The facts, notes, and any images you save. These are stored encrypted on your device.
Account information. If you create an account, your email address is used to authenticate you, verify your account, and enable optional backup and sync.
Reminders and events. Titles, dates, and lead times you set. If you choose to mirror an event, it is written to your device's Calendar via Apple's EventKit.
Voice input. If you use dictation, speech is processed to convert it to text so it can be saved or used as a question.

2. How your memories are protected

Each memory is encrypted using AES-GCM. The encryption key is generated on your device and stored in the iOS Keychain; it is not transmitted to us. Encrypted memories are kept in the app's private storage. Only the facts you explicitly save are persisted — your recall questions and the assistant's replies remain in the current session and are not stored as memories.

3. AI-powered recall

When you ask a question, the app assembles a bounded set of your most relevant recent facts and sends them, along with your question, to a third-party AI service (Google's Gemini, accessed through Firebase) to compose a natural-language answer. This request is used solely to generate your answer and return it to you. Please refer to Google's privacy terms for how they handle data processed through their AI services. If you never ask recall questions, no memory content is sent for AI processing.

4. Backup and sync

If you sign in and enable cloud backup (a Premium feature), your memories are encrypted on your device using a passphrase that only you hold, before anything is uploaded. The server only ever stores unreadable ciphertext and cannot decrypt your data. Because of this, if you lose your passphrase we cannot recover your backup for you. You can disable backup or delete your account to stop this.

4a. Document scanning

When you scan a document, the photograph is processed to extract the text and key facts you choose to save. This uses the same AI service described above and is subject to the same handling; the extracted facts are stored as encrypted memories, and only the memories you save are kept.

4b. Subscriptions

Premium subscriptions are processed by Apple through the App Store. We never receive or store your payment card details; Apple handles billing and shares only the subscription status needed to unlock Premium features.

5. Device permissions

Face ID / Touch ID. Used to lock the app so only you can open it. Biometric data never leaves your device and is handled entirely by iOS.
Microphone & Speech Recognition. Used only when you choose voice input.
Camera. Used only when you take a photo or scan a document for a memory.
Photos. Accessed only when you attach an image to a memory.
Calendar. Accessed only if you choose to mirror a reminder to your Calendar.
Location (Always). Used only if you create a location-based reminder, so the app can notify you when you reach a place you chose. You can turn this off at any time in iOS Settings.
Notifications. Used to deliver reminder alerts.

6. What we do not do

We do not sell or rent your personal data.
We do not use your memories for advertising or profiling.
We do not share your data with third parties except the AI and infrastructure providers strictly needed to deliver the features described above.

7. Data retention and deletion

Memories remain on your device until you delete them. Deleting a memory removes it from your device and, if sync is enabled, from your backup. You can export all of your memories and reminders to a JSON file at any time from within the app, so your data is always portable. You may also permanently delete your account from the app's account settings, which removes your login, all memories and reminders, and any cloud backup — this cannot be undone. Uninstalling the app removes locally stored memories from that device.

8. Children's privacy

Remember Me is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected here with a new "Last updated" date.
