2.1 Account and authentication

When you sign in to the app, you can use your Google, Apple or Facebook account. The following data is retrieved from the identity provider:

• E-mail address
• Name (first name and/or surname)
• Unique user identifier provided by Google / Apple / Facebook

Purpose: identify your account, retrieve your personal journal across sessions, and let you continue your journey on another device.
Legal basis: performance of the requested service (Article 6.1.b GDPR).

2.2 Reflections and perspectives

When you write a thought and request insights, the text you have entered together with the sources you have selected is transmitted to an artificial intelligence service (Anthropic — Claude API) in order to generate the perspectives.

The perspectives received, together with your original thought and a timestamp, are stored in your personal journal.

Purpose: deliver the core service of the app (perspective generation, history, tracking).
Legal basis: performance of the requested service.

2.3 Emotional tracking

If you use the emotion wheel or the emotional timeline, the emotions you name and their timestamps are recorded on your device so that you can visualise your journey over time.

Purpose: provide a personal emotional journal.
Legal basis: performance of the requested service.

2.4 Sending perspectives by e-mail

You may choose to send a session by e-mail (your thought + the perspectives received) to the address of your choice. This sending is performed via the third-party service Resend. The e-mail also includes a copy sent to the publisher's administrative address (appunautreregard@gmail.com) for the purpose of improving the quality of the service and follow-up.

Purpose: let the user keep a written trace, and let the publisher improve the quality of perspectives.
Legal basis: consent (you explicitly trigger the sending) and the publisher's legitimate interest in improving the service.
