Privacy & Security

Last updated: March 25, 2026

Overview

Nemora is a journal that connects your words to Scripture. We know what you write here is deeply personal, between you and God. We treat your entries with the gravity they deserve. This page explains exactly how your data is protected, what we collect, and what we will never do.

How your data is protected

Encrypted at rest (AES-256)

Your journal entries are stored on infrastructure that encrypts all data at rest using AES-256, the same standard used by banks and governments.

Encrypted in transit (TLS)

Every connection between your device and our servers is encrypted with TLS. No one can intercept your entries in transit.

Isolated per user

Row-level security enforces that every database query is scoped to your account. There is no API endpoint or query that could expose another user's entries.

Fully automated

All AI features are fully automated. There is no moderation queue, content review process, or internal tool built to browse user entries.

Never used for AI training

When your entries are processed by AI to surface Bible verses or generate insights, the text is sent to Anthropic and OpenAI APIs, which do not use API data for model training. Your words pass through, generate a response, and are not stored or retained by either provider.

What we collect

  • Account information — your email address, used for authentication.
  • Journal entries — the text you write. Stored securely and used only to power your personal experience (Bible verse surfacing, insights, search).
  • Preferences — your chosen Bible translation and display settings.
  • Subscription data — payment status managed through Stripe. We never store your card number or payment details directly.

How we use your data

  • To store and display your journal entries when you access them.
  • To surface relevant Bible verses as you write (Nemora Pro).
  • To generate weekly insights, reflections, and your portrait from your entries (Nemora Pro).
  • To let you search and revisit what you've written.

We never sell your data. We never share your entries with advertisers, partners, or any third party beyond what is described on this page. Your journal is yours.

AI features & spiritual content

Nemora uses AI to surface Bible verses, generate guided reflections, provide conversational responses about your journal, and create weekly insights. These features are designed to support personal spiritual reflection — they are not a substitute for professional counseling, therapy, or medical advice.

If you are experiencing a crisis or need emotional support beyond what a journal can provide, please reach out to a pastor, licensed counselor, or trusted friend. In an emergency, contact your local emergency services.

Third-party services

  • Supabase — database hosting and authentication. Data is stored on AWS infrastructure with AES-256 encryption at rest.
  • Anthropic (Claude) — primary AI provider for verse surfacing, reflections, journal chat, insights, and title generation. Entry content is sent via their API for processing. Per Anthropic's data usage policy, API data is not used to train their models and is not retained after processing.
  • OpenAI — AI features (semantic search embeddings, portrait image generation). Entry content is sent via their API for processing. Per OpenAI's data usage policy, API data is not used to train their models and is not retained after processing.
  • Apple (StoreKit) — in-app subscription processing on iOS. Payment is handled entirely by Apple; we never see or store your payment details.
  • Stripe — subscription and payment processing on the web. We never see or store your card details.

Data retention

Your journal entries are stored as long as your account is active. You can delete individual entries at any time. Deleted entries are moved to a "Recently Deleted" folder and permanently purged after 30 days.

To delete your entire account and all associated data, open the app, go to Profile → Delete Account. This permanently removes your account, all journal entries, reflections, portraits, conversations, and any other data associated with your account. This action cannot be undone.

Your rights

You can delete individual journal entries or your entire account at any time from within the app. For any privacy-related requests, reach out to us directly.
