How we treat your data
Your journal is personal, so here's the plain-words version of what happens to it — no legal footnotes, just what we store, what we never do, and how you leave with everything you wrote.
What we store
Every capture you share — text, a voice note, a photo — is stored the way you gave it to us. We don't encrypt entries end-to-end, and we won't pretend otherwise: the whole point of MetaLife is that an AI actually reads what you share to organize it for you, and a fully locked box would defeat that. What we do promise: every connection to MetaLife is encrypted in transit, and your backups are encrypted too.
What we never do
We never sell your data, to anyone, for any reason. We never use your entries to train AI models — the providers we use are bound by agreements that forbid it. And we don't run ads, so there's no reason to profile you for one.
Who can see it
You. There's no team feature and no shared workspace — nobody else logs into your account. The one exception is the AI itself, which reads a capture to classify it, summarize it, or answer a question about it — that processing is the product, not a leak. Every request to your data requires your login, and your account is walled off from every other account.
How you leave
Export everything you've written as Markdown, PDF, or CSV, any time, from Settings → Data. Delete your account and every entry, photo, and setting is gone immediately — no 30-day limbo waiting to be quietly kept. That's the real test of an honest exit: can you leave clean, with what's yours? Yes.
Where it lives
Your data lives on servers in the European Union — Helsinki, Finland — under GDPR, not routed through a jurisdiction you didn't choose.
What the AI touches
Each time you capture something, the AI reads that one capture to file it — a mood, a workout, an idea — and nothing beyond what you just sent it. If you'd rather it stayed hands-off, turn AI processing off entirely in Settings → Data: your entries still save, they just stop being organized for you.
