Security Manifesto

Prioritizing Your Data Security

At Pausa, we are committed to safeguarding the personal nature of your journal entries. Our approach to data privacy is transparent and rooted in respect for your confidentiality.

Respecting the Privacy of Your Words

Your journal entries are your private sanctuary. We do not read, share, or use these personal entries for any purpose other than what you intend within our app.

Encrypted Connections

Your entries travel between your device and our servers over encrypted HTTPS/TLS connections, and are stored on Microsoft Azure's secured infrastructure.

No Advertising Profiling

Your journal content is never used for advertising, and we never track you across other apps. Your thoughts remain untainted by commercial influence.

Anonymized Data for App Improvement

Any analytics we use to improve the app rely on aggregated, anonymized usage data, things like how often a feature is used, never the content of your entries.

Full User Control

You have control over your data within Pausa, with options to export or delete your journal entries whenever you choose.

Integration with OpenAI for AI-Powered Features

To power features like recaps, insights, and coaching, your entries are sent to OpenAI's API for processing. Importantly, OpenAI does not use data submitted through our API to train their models or enhance their services, unlike a consumer AI chatbot, your reflections are never added to a chat history or used as training data.

Secure Hosting on Microsoft Azure

We use Microsoft Azure for reliable and secure hosting, ensuring the integrity and availability of your journal data.

Dependable Storage with MongoDB

Your entries are securely stored in MongoDB, a database known for its robust security and reliability, safeguarding your data against unauthorized access or loss.

Legal Compliance and Protection

We comply with legal standards and will only share your data if required by law, and even in such cases, we prioritize your privacy.

Pausa is designed to be a secure and private haven for your thoughts, combining the best of technology and privacy practices to ensure your journal remains a personal and confidential space.
