Mistakes Welcome — Privacy Policy

Effective: 2026-08-14 · 한국어

2. Data stored only on your device

Diary entries, feedback results, expression notes, chat history, AI memory and settings are stored only in the app's local storage. They are removed when you uninstall the app. Use in-app "Export data" for backups. Android auto-backup is disabled.

3. Your own API key (BYOK)

If you register your own Gemini API key in Settings, it is kept in the device's secure storage and used only to call Google's API.

4. International transfer

The recipients above (Google, Pexels, Unsplash) may process data outside your country. Their own privacy policies apply.

5. Children

This app is not directed to children.

6. Deleting your data

All data lives on your device — deleting it in the app or uninstalling the app removes it immediately. AI chat memory can be deleted individually or entirely in Settings > AI Memory.
