Privacy Policy
Last updated: 9 June 2026
HuMo is a private journaling and self-retrospection app. It is built to keep what you write yours. This policy explains, plainly, what happens to your data.
The short version
- No account. No sign-up. HuMo has no login and no user profile.
- No analytics, no tracking, no advertising, no third-party SDKs. The app does not measure your behaviour, does not track you across apps or websites, and contains no advertising or attribution code.
- Your entries stay yours. Your reflections and emotion ratings are stored on your device and synced only to your own private iCloud account. The developer has no server that receives or stores them and cannot read them.
What data HuMo handles, and where it goes
1. Your journal entries (reflections + emotion ratings)
Stored locally on your device. If you are signed into iCloud, they also sync through Apple's CloudKit to your own private iCloud database, so they are available on your other devices and backed up to your Apple account. This data is governed by Apple's privacy policy. The developer of HuMo never receives it and has no access to it.
2. Optional “AI summaries” (off by default)
HuMo can generate written summaries of a period (month / quarter / year). This feature is disabled by default. It only does anything if you turn it on and provide the address of a relay server that you control or trust.
When — and only when — you explicitly tap “Generate”, HuMo sends, over an encrypted HTTPS connection, the reflection text and emotion ratings for that period to the relay address you configured. That relay forwards the request to an AI model provider to produce the summary and returns the result. The reference relay is stateless: it keeps no copy of your text and does not log your content. The developer does not operate a default or shared relay on your behalf; if you do not configure one, nothing is ever sent anywhere.
3. Voice dictation (optional)
If you dictate a reflection, HuMo uses Apple's Speech framework to turn your speech into text. It prefers on-device transcription and uses it whenever your device and language support it. On devices or languages without an on-device model, transcription falls back to Apple's speech-recognition service, governed by Apple's privacy policy. Microphone audio is used only for that transcription and is not stored by HuMo.
4. Backups and exports (you initiate them)
You can export a full copy of your data as JSON and Markdown. These files are written to your own iCloud Drive (or kept locally) and shared only where you choose to send them via the system share sheet.
What HuMo does not do
- It does not collect data for the developer.
- It does not use tracking or advertising identifiers (no IDFA).
- It does not sell or share your data with anyone.
- It does not contain third-party analytics, crash-reporting, or marketing SDKs.
Children
HuMo is suitable for all ages and collects no personal data, so it does not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes
If this policy changes, the “Last updated” date above will change with it.
