Who we are
Aisling (“we”, “us”) provides a lucid-dreaming companion app for iOS and Android. This policy applies to the Aisling app and this website.
Information we collect
Account information
When you create an account, our authentication provider (Clerk) processes your email address and name to sign you in and secure your account. We never see or store your password.
Content you create
The heart of the app is your own content: dream entries and their text, dream signs and tags, reality-check history, technique progress, and your preferences. You create this; we store it so the app works for you.
Voice capture
If you capture a dream by voice, transcription happens on your device using your operating system's speech recognition. We do not record, upload, or store your audio — only the text you choose to save.
Notifications
Reality-check reminders and wake alarms are scheduled locally on your device. We do not run a push server or track whether you open them.
Subscriptions
If you subscribe to Aisling Pro, the purchase itself is made through the app store — we never see your payment details. We do store whether your subscription is currently active, when it renews or ends, and whether you are in a free trial, because the app needs that to unlock the right features. That status is managed by RevenueCat (see service providers below).
Waitlist & early access
If you join our early-access list on this website, we store the email address you provide so we can tell you when Aisling launches and share early-access details. We keep a hashed, non-identifying record of the request origin to prevent abuse, and nothing more. We don't sell this list or use it for anything but Aisling updates, and you can ask us to remove you at any time using the contact address below.
What we don't collect
No advertising identifiers, no location tracking, no selling of data. Aisling has no ads.
How we use your information
- To provide the app — save your dreams, run reminders, and sync across your devices.
- To authenticate you and keep your account secure.
- To maintain, debug, and improve the service.
Where your data is stored
Aisling is offline-first: your data lives on your device and works without a connection. When you're signed in, your entries are also backed up to our cloud database (hosted on Neon) so they survive a reinstall and sync across devices. Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS), and access is restricted to your own account by row-level security. Cloud infrastructure is currently located in the United States.
Service providers
We share data only with the vendors needed to run the app:
- Clerk — authentication (your email, name, sign-in sessions).
- Neon — the managed database that stores your synced content.
- Sentry — crash and error reporting, so we can find and fix bugs. It receives only technical diagnostics — the type of device, the app version, and where in the code an error occurred. We deliberately strip the contents of your dreams and any other personal text before a report is sent; Sentry never receives what you've written.
- Apple App Store / Google Play — distribution and payment processing for subscriptions. Your payment is handled entirely by the store; we never receive or store your card details.
- RevenueCat — subscription management. When you subscribe, RevenueCat receives an anonymous account identifier and your purchase and renewal status, so the app knows which features you have access to across your devices and after a reinstall. It does not receive your dreams, your email, or your name.
Retention & deletion
You can delete your account and all associated data at any time from Settings → Delete account in the app — this permanently removes your dreams, tags, logs, and profile from our systems. You can also email us to request deletion. Local data is cleared when you sign out.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, export, correct, or delete your data. The app gives you direct access to all of it; contact us for anything else.
Children
Aisling is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age of digital consent in your region), and we do not knowingly collect their data.
Changes
We'll update this policy as the app evolves and revise the date above. Material changes will be surfaced in the app or on this page.
