PRIVACY POLICY
Last updated: June 26, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Rhythmic, Inc. ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and discloses your information when you use our products, tools, and services, and outlines your rights and choices. It applies to Ink and to the other applications, websites, and tools we operate, generally hosted at rhythmicapps.com and its subfolders (for example, rhythmicapps.com/Ink), and any other standalone tools or sites we operate (each a "Product" and collectively, the "Products").
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully.
1. INTERPRETATION AND DEFINITIONS
Words with initial capitalization have the meanings defined below. These definitions apply equally to the singular and plural forms.
- Account - A unique account created for you to access a Product or parts of it.
- Affiliate - An entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company.
- Application - Ink, provided by the Company.
- Company - Rhythmic, Inc., registered in Delaware, United States.
- Device - Any device that can access a Product (e.g., smartphone, tablet, or computer).
- Personal Data - Any information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual.
- Service Provider - A third-party company or individual that processes data on our behalf.
- Usage Data - Information collected automatically when using a Product (e.g., device type, session duration).
- You - The individual using a Product, or the legal entity represented by that individual.
2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We collect information you provide voluntarily and data collected automatically when you use a Product.
Information you provide
- Profile Data: your email address, password, and any optional profile details.
- Payment Data: when you make purchases, payment information is processed by third-party providers (e.g., Apple, Google). We do not store your full payment credentials.
- Support & Feedback: any information you provide when contacting us for support, completing surveys, or giving feedback.
Data collected automatically
- Usage Data: how you interact with the Product, including features accessed, session duration, and frequency.
- Device & Browser Data: IP address, device type, OS version, time zone, and language settings.
- Referrer & Campaign Data: information on how you discovered the Product (e.g., ad source, referral link).
- Cookies & Similar Technologies: used to maintain sessions and measure performance on our websites. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
Tracking and advertising identifiers
With your permission through the App Tracking Transparency prompt, and where otherwise permitted, we collect your Apple Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) or Google Advertising ID (AAID) and use them, through the attribution partners listed in the Third-Party Services and SDKs section, to measure campaign effectiveness, attribute installs, and understand where users discover the Product. You can reset or disable these identifiers, and change your tracking choice, at any time in your device settings.
Journaling content
Ink supports a physical, pen-and-paper journaling practice; it is designed to help you begin, continue, and return to writing in your own journal, not to store the text you write there. We do not store the text of your journal entries as product data, on your device or on our servers, and we do not include journal text, highlight text, or raw photo or media content in our analytics or attribution telemetry. The only journaling information we collect is the optional session details you explicitly choose to add in the app, such as marking a session complete or adding a short note.
Voice notes and transcription (optional)
Voice journaling is optional. If you use it, Ink records a voice note with your device microphone and, with your consent, sends the audio to our transcription provider (OpenAI) to convert it to text for your journal entry on your device. We do not store the audio or the resulting transcript on our servers. OpenAI may retain the audio for a limited period solely for security and abuse monitoring and does not use it to train its models. We keep only a content-free usage record, such as the audio duration, to manage quota and prevent abuse. You can use Ink without enabling voice transcription.
Photos and media
Any photos you add to Spaces, and any profile photo you set, stay on your device. Ink does not sync these images to our backend by default; they remain local to your device unless you choose to export them through your device's own systems.
Anonymous app identity and reset
You can use Ink without an account. To support app continuity, deletion handling, and associated backend records, we assign an anonymous identifier that is not tied to your name or email. If you use Ink while signed out, you can clear this anonymous activity and return Ink to a fresh-install state on the device using "Reset Ink on this device." Data already linked to a Rhythmic account is governed by the account-deletion controls in the "Delete Your Personal Data" section.
After you delete your account or reset Ink on this device, we may keep a limited de-identified record of the action itself, such as the deletion type, platform, and the number of records removed, for security and accounting purposes. This record does not include your journal text, account identifiers, or device identifiers.
3. HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA
We process your personal data for the following purposes:
- To provide and improve the Product: operate, maintain, and enhance the experience, enable core functionality, troubleshoot technical issues, authenticate users, and secure access to your account.
- To analyze and enhance the Product: we use aggregated and anonymized data to understand how users interact with the Product, run surveys, test features, and identify improvements.
- To customize your experience: for instance, to determine which payment options, promotions, or recommendations to display.
- To process payments: we rely on trusted third-party payment providers (such as Apple, Google) to process purchases and subscriptions. We do not store full payment details.
- To enforce terms and prevent fraud: enforce our Terms, prevent fraud, resolve disputes, and detect malicious activity. Where required by law or in cases involving fraud or legal claims, we may share relevant information with law enforcement authorities.
- To communicate with you: via email, in-app messages, or push notifications about your account, Product usage, or feature changes, including reminders or security notices.
- To send marketing communications: we may send messages about features, offers, and events. You can opt out of marketing emails at any time via the "Unsubscribe" link in the email footer.
- To provide customer support: respond to inquiries, confirm transactions, and send legal or status notices.
- To comply with legal obligations: process or share information when required by applicable law, regulation, legal process, or government request.
AI features
To provide and improve our AI features, we process information about how you interact with them (for example, which AI features you use and how often). Certain AI functionality is delivered using third-party AI providers listed in the Third-Party Services and SDKs section; the content needed to provide the feature may be processed by those providers under their data-processing terms.

6. SENSITIVE DATA
Ink supports general wellbeing. We are not a medical provider and do not collect "Protected Health Information" under HIPAA. However, we recognize that the information you choose to record about your wellbeing (for example, how you are feeling, what you are practicing or working on, and any notes or reflections you add) can be sensitive, and we treat it with additional care. We process this data solely to provide the Product to you. The content you record remains private to you and is not shared externally unless you choose to export or disclose it.

To exercise these rights, contact us at support@rhythmicapps.com. You may also have the right to appeal a decision on your request.

When we transfer personal data from the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland to a country without an adequacy decision, we rely on appropriate safeguards, including Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission (and the UK Addendum where applicable), and we maintain data-processing agreements with our service providers requiring them to protect your data consistent with this Privacy Policy.
If you have questions about international transfers, contact us at support@rhythmicapps.com.
11. DATA SECURITY
We use encryption, access controls, and secure servers to protect your data. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
12. DATA BREACH NOTIFICATION
If a security breach results in unauthorized access to your personal data, we will notify the relevant supervisory authorities as required by applicable law (where required, within 72 hours of becoming aware), and we will notify affected users without undue delay where the breach is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms. We maintain incident-response procedures to detect, investigate, and respond to potential security incidents.
