Privacy Policy
Effective September 30, 2026
Brainstorm Room is built on one principle: your ideas are private by default. This policy explains what we store, where, and why.
Private ideas
Ideas you capture — text, voice recordings and transcripts — are stored only on your device and, if you have iCloud enabled, in your own private iCloud storage managed by Apple. We do not operate servers that receive, read or store your private ideas.
Speech recognition
Voice recordings are turned into text by Apple's Speech framework. When your device supports it, this happens entirely on your iPhone. Otherwise, audio may be sent to Apple to be transcribed, subject to Apple's Privacy Policy. We never receive your recordings for transcription.
Public ideas and your account
An account is only needed if you choose to share an idea, like or report. When you do:
- Sign in with Apple. We receive a unique identifier from Apple and, if you allow it, an email address (which may be an Apple private relay address). We do not receive your name or password.
- Profile. The username you choose is shown publicly next to your public ideas.
- Public ideas. When you tap Make public, a copy of that idea's text — and its original voice recording only if you turn on Include my voice — is stored on our servers and visible to everyone.
- Interactions. Likes, blocks and reports you make are stored so the app works as expected. Who saved an idea is never shared; saved ideas stay on your device.
Making an idea private again, or deleting it, removes the public copy (text and audio) from our servers. Ideas others built on it remain theirs, but no longer show your text.
Anonymous usage statistics
To understand whether the app is useful, the app sends simple usage events (for example "app opened" or "idea captured") together with a random identifier created on your device and the app version. These events never contain your ideas, recordings, transcripts, search terms or your name, and are not linked to your account.
Where data is stored
Public ideas, accounts and usage statistics are stored with our infrastructure provider, Supabase, in the United States. Our website is hosted by Vercel. We do not sell your data, use it for advertising, or share it with data brokers.
Your choices
- Use every private feature without an account.
- Make any public idea private again at any time.
- Delete your account in the app under Settings › Account › Delete account. This removes your profile, public ideas, voice clips, likes and reports' personal details from our servers. You may also choose to delete the ideas stored on your iPhone.
- Ask us any question about your data at tdstdx627@gmail.com.
Children
Brainstorm Room is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes
If we change this policy we will update this page and the effective date above. Significant changes will also be announced in the app.
