What we keep. What we don't.
A short, honest explanation of what Mikoyi collects, what it doesn't, and what you can do about it.
The short version.
Mikoyi is a personal journal. The things you write in it are yours. We collect the minimum needed to make the app work — your name, your email, your journal entries, and your subscription status.
We don't sell your data. We don't share it with advertisers. We don't run analytics that track you across other apps or websites. We don't share anything with your employer.
Your journal entries are processed by an AI provider (Anthropic) to generate the reflection and naming features. They are not used to train AI models. They are not seen by humans except as required for you to use the product or as required by law.
What we collect.
To make Mikoyi work, we collect:
- Your name. Used inside the app for personalization (the "hey [name]" greeting at the start of your daily check-in). Nothing else.
- Your email address. Used to create and authenticate your account, send you a one-time verification code when you sign in, and contact you about your account if needed.
- Your journal entries. The content you write or speak into Mikoyi. This is the substance of the product — what you're checking in about, what stood out today, the people and patterns that come up in your week.
- Your subscription status. If you upgrade to Mikoyi Pro, we receive a confirmation from Apple (via RevenueCat) that you have an active subscription. We don't see your credit card or payment details.
- Basic usage information. When you completed a check-in, your streak count, and the timestamps of your sessions — to make the daily ritual and weekly reflection features work.
What we don't collect.
To be specific about it:
- No analytics SDKs. We don't use Mixpanel, Amplitude, PostHog, Google Analytics, Firebase Analytics, or any third-party analytics tool. We don't track which screens you visit, how long you spend on them, or what you tap.
- No advertising trackers. No Meta SDK, no Google Ads SDK, no Snap SDK, no TikTok SDK. We don't link your Mikoyi activity to any advertising profile.
- No cross-app tracking. We don't follow you to other apps. We don't know what else is on your phone.
- No location data. We don't request or use your device location.
- No contacts, photos, or camera access. We don't request access to any of these.
- No payment information. Payments are handled entirely by Apple. We never see your credit card.
- No data shared with your employer or HR. Mikoyi is private to you. Nothing in your journal touches your company's systems.
How your data is used.
Each piece of data we collect serves a specific function:
- Your email is used to authenticate you (we send a one-time code when you sign in) and to contact you about your account when necessary.
- Your name is shown inside the app to personalize the experience. It's never used in any external communication.
- Your journal entries are stored so you can revisit them, and processed by an AI provider (Anthropic) to generate the reflection, naming, and weekly pattern features. The AI provider does not use your entries to train models.
- Your subscription status determines which features you have access to in the app.
- Usage information (timestamps, streak count) powers the daily ritual rhythm and the weekly reflection.
We don't use your data for anything beyond making Mikoyi work for you. We don't sell it. We don't share it with advertisers. We don't use it to build profiles about you for marketing.
Who else touches your data.
A small number of third-party services help Mikoyi function. Each one has access only to what's necessary, and each has its own privacy policy you can read.
- Supabase. Our database and authentication provider. Your account information and journal entries are stored on Supabase's secure infrastructure. Supabase Privacy Policy.
- Anthropic. Provides the AI that generates reflections, names what you carried, and identifies patterns. Your journal content is sent to Anthropic's API to generate these responses. Anthropic does not train on data sent through their API. Anthropic Privacy Policy.
- RevenueCat. Manages your subscription status. They receive your subscription information from Apple but do not have access to your journal content. RevenueCat Privacy Policy.
- Apple. Handles authentication via your Apple ID (if applicable), processes payments for Mikoyi Pro subscriptions, and delivers push notifications. We don't see your payment details. Apple Privacy Policy.
We do not share your data with any other third parties. We have not authorized any other service to access your journal or account information.
Where your data lives.
Your account information and journal entries are stored on Supabase's secure cloud infrastructure, encrypted at rest and in transit.
Journal content sent to Anthropic for AI processing is transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS) and is not retained by Anthropic beyond the time needed to generate a response.
We retain your data as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, your data is removed from our systems within 30 days, with the exception of any information we're legally required to keep (such as records of payments processed by Apple).
What you can do.
You have control over your data. At any time, you can:
- Access your data. Email us and we'll send you a copy of everything we have on you.
- Correct your data. Edit your name or email from within the app. For other corrections, email us.
- Delete your data. Email us and we'll delete your account and all associated data within 30 days. No friction, no retention campaign.
- Export your data. Email us and we'll send you all your journal entries in a readable format (JSON or plain text, your choice).
- Opt out of communications. Most emails from us are operational (account-related). If we ever send marketing emails, there will be an unsubscribe link.
