Effective date: July 24, 2026

The short version

Séance stores your data on your device. There are no accounts, no ads, no analytics, and no third-party SDKs. We never see your data.

What we collect

Nothing. Everything you enter stays in the app's local database on your device (and in your personal iCloud backup if you use device backups).

Microphone and session recordings

Séance never uses the microphone unless you turn on "Record session audio" in Settings (it is off by default). Recordings are saved only on your device, next to your séance journal. You can delete them at any time by deleting the séance or resetting the app.

Purchases

The one-time Séance Plus purchase is processed by Apple. We receive no payment details. Manage purchases in your Apple Account settings.

Notifications

Reminders are local notifications scheduled on your device. Nothing is sent to any server.

Export

Your data leaves the app only when you copy a transcript out yourself (Export copies it to your clipboard). Where you paste it is entirely up to you.

Data deletion

Settings → Reset all data deletes everything the app stores. Deleting the app does the same.
