A digital diary for challenging times
Write down what weights on you | Get instant feedback | Reflect and distance yourself.
Available in AppStore (beta version coming soon)

AI-powered feedback
Even consistent journaling cannot always prevent rumination. As a consequence, you get stuck. A simple, multi-modal feedback helps to look on the situation from a new angle, to "rise" about it. A short, soothing voice note from a supportive stranger ensures you close your writing session with a good feeling.

Short, but eloquent
Nail it down to just 100 words: think on one situation and your feelings about it. This helps to develop a healthy journaling routine, receive a substantial feedback, and avoid rumination.

Phone: +49-177-4901659IntroductionAt Supportive Stranger, we provide a safe space for you to express yourself. We believe your private thoughts should stay private. Our "Privacy-by-Design" approach ensures that your data is used only to support you in the moment. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you use the Supportive Stranger mobile application ("App").Our architecture is simple: your diary entries never live on our servers. They are stored on your device, processed briefly by AI providers to generate a response, and then the AI providers permanently delete them. We have no user accounts, no tracking, and no analytics. This approach satisfies the privacy laws of every country where the App is available.1. Data ControllerThe data controller responsible for your personal data is: Dr. Yulia Rönsch, Kirchenstrasse 2, 82194 Gröbenzell, Germany. Email: [email protected]. Phone: +49-177-4901659.2. Types of Data We Process2.1 Data You Provide:- Diary Entries: Text content (maximum 100 words) that you voluntarily enter into the App
- Device Information: Technical data necessary for App functionality (device type, operating system version, App version)2.2 Data Generated by the App: AI-generated text responses, AI-generated images, and audio files (temporarily generated and available during your session and automatically deleted when you end the session).2.3 Data We Do NOT Collect: We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or other identifying information; location data; we do not use cookies or tracking technologies; we do not collect usage analytics or statistics; we do not create user accounts or profiles.3. Legal Basis for ProcessingWe process your personal data based on your consent to use the App and the necessity of processing to provide the services you requested. For EU/EEA users, the legal bases are Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (Contract Performance) and Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (Legitimate Interests).4. How We Process Your Data4.1 Local-First Storage: All diary entries, AI-generated text responses, and generated images are stored exclusively on your mobile device. We do not store copies of your personal diary content on our servers. If you delete the App or lose your device, we cannot recover your entries.4.2 AI Processing: When you request support, your diary entry (max 100 words) is sent to third-party AI service providers. A supportive text response, audio version, and image are generated. Processing happens in real-time; no conversation history is retained. Each entry is independent. Your personal reflections are never used to train AI models. Audio files are permanently deleted after being played once. We do not retain copies on our servers.4.3 Third-Party AI Service Providers: We use AI providers (e.g. Anthropic, Google Cloud AI, ElevenLabs) primarily in the USA and UK. All process data under Data Processing Agreements, operate on a stateless basis, and do not use your data for training. For questions about specific providers, contact [email protected].5. Data Transmission & SecurityAll communication uses HTTPS with TLS encryption. Data on your device is protected by your device's built-in security (e.g. iOS Data Protection). We only transmit the minimum data necessary; no identifying information is sent with diary entries. AI providers retain your data only for the brief processing time (milliseconds to seconds), then permanently delete it.6. Data RetentionOn your device: Diary entries, text responses, and images are stored until you delete them; audio files are automatically deleted after first playback. We do not maintain server-side storage of your content. You can delete entries or uninstall the App at any time for complete deletion.7. Your RightsAll users, regardless of location, may: access their data directly in the App; delete individual entries at any time; uninstall the App for complete deletion of all local data; and contact us with any privacy concerns at [email protected]. We aim to respond within 30 days.EU and EEA users (GDPR): You have the right to rectification (Article 16), restriction of processing (Article 18), data portability (Article 20), and to object to processing (Article 21). You may lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority via https://edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/board/members_en.UK users (UK GDPR): Your rights are equivalent to EU GDPR. You may contact the Information Commissioner's Office at https://ico.org.uk.California residents (CCPA): You have the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to delete it, and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. We do not sell personal information. Contact [email protected] to exercise your rights.Canadian users (PIPEDA): You have the right to access personal information we hold about you and to challenge its accuracy. Given our local-first architecture, virtually all your data resides on your own device. Contact [email protected] with any questions. You may also contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada at https://www.priv.gc.ca.Australian users (Privacy Act 1988): You may request access to or correction of your personal information. If you believe we have breached the Australian Privacy Principles, you may complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at https://www.oaic.gov.au.All other users: You have the right to access, correct, and delete your personal data to the extent required by the laws of your country. Because your data is stored locally on your device, you already have direct control over it. Contact us at [email protected] with any requests or concerns.8. Children's PrivacyThe App is intended for users aged 16 years and older. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 16 without parental consent. If you are a parent and believe your child has used the App without consent, contact [email protected].9. Changes to This Privacy PolicyWe may update this policy. You will see an in-app notification and an updated "Last Updated" date. Material changes will have at least 30 days' advance notice. Continued use constitutes acceptance; if you disagree, stop using and uninstall the App.10. Important Disclaimers10.1 Not a Medical Service: Supportive Stranger is a tool for reflection and emotional support. It is NOT a clinical mental health service, therapy, or crisis intervention. Do not rely on it for medical advice. If you are in crisis, please contact your local emergency services or a crisis helpline immediately.

Use your own judgment.11. Contact UsData Controller: Dr. Yulia Rönsch, [email protected], +49-177-4901659, Kirchenstrasse 2, 82194 Gröbenzell, Germany. We aim to respond within 30 days.12. Technical InformationThe App requires Storage (to save content locally), Internet (to send entries to AI providers), and Audio Playback. We do not provide cloud backup; use your device's native backup (e.g. iCloud). If you lose your device or delete the App without backup, entries cannot be recovered.13. Data Security MeasuresWe use TLS/SSL encryption, secure API authentication, local device encryption, and automatic deletion of temporary audio. We have Data Processing Agreements with all AI providers, apply minimal data collection, and have no unnecessary retention. You should secure your device with a passcode or biometric lock and keep your operating system updated.14. International Data TransfersData may be processed by AI providers in the USA and UK. We use EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and Data Processing Agreements to ensure adequate protection for all transfers, regardless of where you are located.Quick Reference Summary- What data?
