Are my private journal entries used to train AI models?

Never. ReAlign has a strict zero-training policy. Your reflections are protected with AES-256-GCM encryption at rest using user-isolated RFC 5869 HKDF keys. Neither ReAlign nor third-party model providers use your personal words to train machine learning models.

How is ReAlign different from typing into ChatGPT or Apple Notes?

Standard notes apps are passive repositories without psychological intelligence. General chatbots like ChatGPT retain chat histories for training by default and lack specialized clinical frameworks. ReAlign is an evidence-informed emotional sanctuary with longitudinal pattern tracking, 3-tier emotional granularity, and crisis safety intercepts.

How long does a daily journaling check-in take?

Under 90 seconds. You can choose a quick affective check-in on the emotion wheel, type a raw unedited thought dump, or use voice dictation. The system is intentionally designed for zero friction so the habit remains sustainable during high stress.

Can I export or delete all my journaling history?

Yes. You possess 100% data sovereignty. You can export your full reflection archive at any time, or execute a permanent account deletion that irreversibly purges your entries, profile, and archives across our database and storage.
