# Privacy policy

Last updated October 31, 2026

This is the privacy policy for the Okito app for iPhone and iPad. It describes what the app does with your data.

Okito keeps your journal private. Your entries are stored only on your device. We cannot see them, we do not keep them on a server, and they are never used to train a model.

What stays on your device

Your journal entries, mood and theme tags, reflection history, and streak live locally. They stay on the device where you wrote them and do not sync to your other devices. Gulden Studio has no access to this content.

How Okito answers you

The free version answers with Apple Intelligence on Apple's Private Cloud Compute. What you write is used only to answer you and does not reach us.

With Pro you can turn on replies from Okito's partners. Then Okito sends what you write through its own relay to OpenAI, and once a week to Google for a deeper look. The relay keeps nothing. Neither partner trains AI on your words. They keep them only for a limited time to check for abuse: OpenAI up to 30 days, and Google for a period it does not state.

To remember you, Pro also sends the short notes Okito keeps about your past entries. When it looks back or you ask about yourself, it sends some of those entries too. The first time you turn this on, your entries from the last 90 days are sent once so Okito can write those notes. The notes stay on your device and are deleted with their entries.

You can turn partner replies off anytime in Settings. Okito then answers the private way, and nothing you wrote is lost.

What we collect

We collect anonymous crash reports and basic product analytics, such as screens opened, app version, and device type. These reports never include entries, reflections, or tags.

If you subscribe to Pro, Apple handles the purchase. We receive confirmation that a subscription is active. We never receive your payment details.

Feedback you send

Settings has a form for sending us feedback. Nothing is sent until you write a message and tap Send. We receive what you wrote, and your email address if you add one. Leave the email empty if you do not want a reply.

The form has one switch, Device and anonymous info, which is on unless you turn it off. Tap its name in the app to see the list of what it sends: app version, device model, system version, language and region, subscription status, app settings, display, accessibility and power settings, install date, whether Okito can reply on your device, and recent activity and error codes. App settings here means which prompt version and engine answer you, whether partner replies and deeper looks are on, and the insight and paywall settings the app receives from us. It never includes your entries, Okito's replies, your mood and theme tags, your name or our prompts. With the switch off, none of these details are sent.

Every message carries the app's anonymous user ID, so we can match it to your subscription if you need help. We store your message with our cloud hosting provider and email it to ourselves through our email delivery provider the next morning, then delete it from our database. The email delivery provider keeps the email for up to about 30 days, and we delete it from our own mailbox once your message is handled, so it is kept for about a month at most. We use it only to answer you and to fix what you reported. It is never used for advertising or tracking and is not sold or shared with anyone else.

Third parties

Apple provides App Store purchases and Apple Intelligence. In the free version, Apple Intelligence answers on Apple's Private Cloud Compute, which keeps nothing after it answers.

OpenAI and Google answer for Pro when partner replies are on, through Okito's relay on Google Cloud, which keeps no content.

A crash reporting and analytics provider supplies anonymous crash reports and product analytics. Journal content is excluded.

A cloud hosting provider stores feedback you send from the app, and an email delivery provider emails it to us. The email provider keeps that email for up to about 30 days.

Your choices

Delete Everything in Settings erases your entries, reflections, and what Okito learned about you. Deleting the app removes its local data too.

Children

Okito is for adults, 18 and over, and is not directed at children.
