Privacy, lock and export
Does my journal ever leave my iPhone?
The honest data path, including the parts that are not absolute.
The short version: there is no Cove account, no Obsidian Ridge Labs server that receives your entries, no advertising profile, and no analytics SDK. Reflection runs on your device.
The parts worth stating precisely
- If you turn on iCloud sync, your entries travel through your own private iCloud database under Apple's protections. That is a real network path, and it is yours.
- If you turn on Health sync, the moods you log are written into your Health database.
- App Store purchases are verified by Apple, which is how any paid app works.
- Anything you export leaves Cove's protection and inherits the privacy of wherever you put it.
