Privacy Policy
We care about privacy
As regular users of Stilo ourselves, our first concern is that nobody else is reading our private thoughts and feelings. This is why every session is encrypted end-to-end and at rest. That's some technical jargon, but it means that even our team can't read your journal, and we'll always keep it that way.
Input Logic Inc ("Input", "Stilo", "we," "us," or "our") provides a web-based application for journaling with the assistance of an AI for deeper reflection.
This Privacy Policy explains how we gather, utilize, safeguard, and reveal your information. If you have any uncertainties, please don't hesitate to get in touch; we're eager to hear your opinions and concerns.
Reasons for Data Storage
After careful deliberation, we have determined that storing data in the cloud is the most effective way to ensure a user-friendly, secure, and dependable experience.
Here are the key reasons:
- Cross-Device Accessibility: By securely storing your data on our servers, we enable you to access your journal entries from multiple devices. This allows for a seamless user experience, whether you start an entry on your smartphone and finish it on your laptop.
- Data Protection: While user-based encryption is secure, there's a risk of data loss if the encryption key is forgotten or lost. By storing data on our servers, we can ensure that even if you lose access to a device or forget a key, your journal entries won't be permanently lost.
- Reliability: Browser-based storage services like can be unreliable, potentially resulting in data loss. We rely on Postgres, a reputable and dependable database, to securely store and consistently provide access to your data.
- Future-proofing: We're constantly working to improve our services, and we may introduce new features that require access to your historical data. By storing your data on our servers, we can ensure that you can take advantage of new features.
