NightBloom ("the App") is a dream journaling and self-discovery application developed by Elanra LLC ("we", "us", or "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how the App handles your information.
NightBloom is designed with privacy at its core. The vast majority of your data never leaves your device:
NightBloom includes an optional Dream Weather feature that contributes to an anonymous community dream forecast. This feature is off by default and must be explicitly enabled in Settings.
When enabled, Dream Weather sends the following anonymous data to Apple's CloudKit public database:
Dream Weather does NOT send:
This data is fully anonymous and cannot be linked to any individual. It is used solely to generate aggregated community dream trends. You can disable Dream Weather at any time in Settings.
NightBloom uses Apple Foundation Models (Apple Intelligence) to provide dream analysis features. This AI processing:
NightBloom now uses an AI Engine picker in Settings:
When AI Engine is set to Apple Intelligence, all cloud services are automatically disabled. When AI Engine is Cloud AI or Auto, the following cloud services can be individually toggled:
When enabled, Voice Input uses OpenAI's Whisper API to transcribe speech to text.
You can disable Voice Input in Settings to ensure no audio is ever transmitted. On supported devices, Apple's on-device Speech Recognition may also be available as an alternative.
When enabled, Auto-Polish sends dream text to OpenAI's GPT-4o-mini to clean up grammar and clarity while preserving your meaning.
When cloud analysis is enabled, dream text is sent to OpenAI for entity extraction (themes, emotions, people, places). Only dream narrative and tags are sent — no personal identifiers.
When enabled, Dream Images uses Fal.ai (Nano Banana 2) to generate dream artwork from your narrative.
If Dream Images is off, you can still use Apple's on-device Image Playground on supported devices.
Auto-Translate is no longer a separate user-facing toggle. When AI Engine is set to Cloud AI or Auto, NightBloom may automatically send non-English dream text to OpenAI GPT-4o-mini for translation when needed for analysis. This uses the same privacy protections as other cloud text processing.
Advanced users and developers can optionally add their own API keys (OpenAI, Fal.ai) in Settings → Advanced → Custom API Keys. When custom keys are active and credits are depleted, cloud features use your keys as a fallback.
When enabled, Dream Videos uses Fal.ai (Veo 3.1 Fast) to generate short animated clips from dream images.
NightBloom uses a server-side credit system to track usage of cloud features. The only identifier used is an anonymous install ID generated on your device. No personal information, Apple ID, or account data is associated with your credit balance.
Cloud services are processed by OpenAI and Fal.ai in accordance with their respective privacy practices. Neither service uses data submitted via the API for training.
Your data is stored locally on your device and protected by your device's built-in security features, including:
If you delete the App, all locally stored data is permanently removed from your device. Anonymous Dream Weather contributions that were previously sent to CloudKit remain in the aggregated database but cannot be traced to you.
NightBloom does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or data collection services. External services used by NightBloom are: (1) Apple CloudKit for optional Dream Weather, (2) OpenAI for optional cloud text processing including analysis/polish/automatic translation (GPT-4o-mini) and voice transcription (Whisper), and (3) Fal.ai for optional Dream Images (Nano Banana 2) and Dream Videos (Veo 3.1 Fast). Cloud services require credits or custom API keys. No analytics or advertising SDKs are used.
NightBloom does not knowingly collect any information from children. The App does not require any personal information to function and is rated 4+ on the App Store.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
Your dream entries and personal data are stored only on your device — we have no access to them. You can delete all local data at any time by deleting the App. Anonymous Dream Weather data in CloudKit cannot be individually identified or deleted, as it contains no personal identifiers.

NightBloom includes a URL import feature at nightbloomapp.com/import that can receive dream text, emotion tags, and emoji icons through URL parameters. This information is passed directly into the app and is not stored on any NightBloom server.
The import redirect page is static HTML only. There is no server-side processing, no request logging, and no cookies associated with this import flow. Once imported, dream data remains on your device.
NightBloom does not communicate with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Siri, or any other AI service. AI agent integration is user-configured: users copy instructions into their own AI tools. NightBloom has no access to user AI conversations.
