Reminist

Effective date: November 6, 2026 · Last updated: October 16, 2026

Reminist (“Reminist”, “we”, “us”) helps you preserve the stories of your life through voice, text, and photos, and share them with people you choose. This policy explains what we collect, why, who we share it with, and the choices you have. This app is operated by Tauf Life Consulting, LLC, a Hawaii limited liability company.

Information we collect

Account information. When you create an account we collect your email address, a password (stored only as a secure hash by our authentication provider), and your display name.

Your content. The stories you create — voice recordings, their transcripts, text, and any photos you attach — plus AI-generated titles and tags derived from that content.

Contacts you add. When you invite someone to add their side of a story, we store the name you enter for them so we can label your invitations. Invitations are delivered by a code you share yourself — we do not access your device’s address book.

Trusted Contact details. If you name a Trusted Contact, we store the name and contact details you provide for that person, and a record that you designated them. We use this only to notify them of the designation and to identify them if they later contact us. See “The Trusted Contact” below.

Sharing data. Records of which stories you have shared with which people, and their status.

Reports and blocks. If you report content or block a user, we store what was reported, who reported it, when, and what we did about it. We keep this even after the underlying content is deleted, because we need it to enforce our rules consistently and to handle repeat problems.

Purchase information. We never receive or store your card details, however you buy.

In the app, a membership is a subscription bought through the Apple App Store or Google Play, which take your payment. Our subscription service, RevenueCat, tells us whether your subscription is active, which plan it is, which store it came from, and when it renews or ends. We store that with your account so the app knows what you have access to. Apple and Google do not give us your name, email address, or payment details.
On our website, checkout is operated by Stripe Managed Payments, which is the merchant of record. We receive and store a record of your membership status, the product you bought, and its renewal or expiry date, so the app knows what you have access to, together with the email address you used at checkout so we can send you your code, and find it again if you lose it. If you arrived at our website through a link we tagged (for example, from one of our posts), we also store the name of that post or campaign with your purchase, so we can tell which ones work. Our website does not use cookies or other on-device storage to do this; the tag travels only in the link.

Gift purchases. If you buy a gift membership, we also store the name you enter as the giver, the recipient’s name you enter, and your gift message if you write one, together with the code. When someone redeems the code, the app shows them the giver’s name you entered. Today the app shows the recipient nothing else from the gift; your message is kept with the code and is not shown to anyone. We do not ask for the recipient’s email address — you pass the code on yourself.

Copyright notices. If you send us a copyright notice or counter-notice, we keep it, including your name and contact details (see “Legal disclosures” below for who receives a copy).

Device & notification data. A push notification token (via Firebase Cloud Messaging) so we can send notifications you have enabled, and your in-app notification preferences.

Usage & diagnostic data. We collect crash reports (via Firebase Crashlytics) so we can find and fix bugs; these include diagnostic details about your device and the app’s state at the time of a crash, and are associated with your account ID. We also collect anonymous usage analytics (via Google Analytics for Firebase) — counts of in-app actions such as creating, sharing, or playing a story — which are not linked to your identity. Advertising identifiers are disabled on both platforms, and we do not use any of this data for advertising or cross-app tracking.

We do not show ads, and we do not sell your personal information.

What we do not do with your voice

Your recordings are stored so that you and the people you choose can listen to them. We do not create voiceprints, and we do not use your voice to identify or authenticate anyone. We do not perform biometric analysis on your recordings, and we do not use them for any purpose other than delivering the service described in this policy.

How we use your information

To provide the core service: store, transcribe, and enhance your stories, and deliver stories you share to the people you invite.
To transcribe voice recordings into text.
To generate optional AI features (story titles, tags, and a single reflective follow-up question).
To send notifications you have enabled (e.g. a new contribution or a follow-up prompt).
To notify a person that you have named them as your Trusted Contact.
To manage memberships and gifts — to know whether your account has an active membership, to email the code you bought, and to show a gift’s recipient who it is from.
To review reports, enforce our Acceptable Use Policy, and keep people safe.
To diagnose crashes and understand aggregate feature usage so we can improve the app.
To secure the service and prevent abuse.

AI features — how your content is processed

To transcribe your recordings and generate titles, tags, and follow-up questions, we send your content to third-party AI providers. This is worth being precise about:

OpenAI (Whisper) receives your audio recording in order to return a transcript. OpenAI does not use content submitted through its API to train its models.
Google (Gemini) receives your transcript or story text in order to return a suggested title, tags, and one follow-up question. Google does not use content submitted through the paid Gemini API to train its models. We moved to the paid Gemini API on September 1, 2026. Content processed before that date went through the free tier, where Google’s terms permit it to be used to improve Google’s products and models.
We do not use your content to train our own models, and we do not licence it to anyone for theirs.
We send only what a feature needs, and only when that feature runs.

AI output is generated by machine and is frequently inaccurate. Treat transcripts and titles as drafts, not records.

Service providers (subprocessors)

We share data only as needed to run the service, with providers bound to protect it:

Supabase — database, authentication, and file storage hosting (your account, stories, audio, and photos are stored here).
OpenAI (Whisper API) — transcribes your voice recordings into text.
Google (Gemini API) — generates story titles, tags, and follow-up questions from your content.
Google Firebase — delivers push notifications (Cloud Messaging), collects crash reports (Crashlytics), and provides anonymous usage analytics (Google Analytics for Firebase).
Cloudflare (R2) — keeps an encrypted backup copy of your audio recordings and photos so they can be restored if our primary storage fails. Files you delete are removed from this backup within 30 days.
Resend — sends our emails: account emails such as password resets, the email that carries a membership or gift code, and the one-time notice to a Trusted Contact you name. Resend receives the recipient’s email address and the message, which may include your name (and, for a gift, the recipient’s name); it never receives your stories, recordings, or photos.
RevenueCat — manages subscriptions bought in the app. It receives your Reminist account identifier (a random ID, not your name or email address), the purchase records Apple or Google provide for your subscription, and basic device information (such as platform, app version, and country), and it tells us your subscription status. It never receives your stories, recordings, or photos. Apple and Google process in-app payments under their own privacy policies.
Stripe — operates our website checkout as merchant of record, processes membership and gift payments, sends your receipts and renewal reminders, and tells us your membership status. Stripe receives the payment and contact details you enter at checkout, and for a gift the names and message you enter; it never receives your stories, recordings, or photos. Stripe handles your payment details under its own privacy policy.

We share story content with these providers only to perform the function described. We do not share your content with anyone else except the specific people you choose to share a story with.

Stories are private to you by default. A story becomes visible to another person only when you invite them to it. Anyone you invite can read and listen to that story and add their own contribution. You can revoke a share at any time.

Stories can have more than one author. When someone contributes to your story, their recording belongs to them, not to you — and yours belongs to you, not to them. If they delete their contribution or their account, it is removed from your thread and we cannot restore it for you. In a group thread, everyone invited can see everyone’s contributions; the app asks you to confirm before you turn that on.

The Trusted Contact

You can name a Trusted Contact — someone you nominate as the point of contact for your stories if something happens to you.

We notify that person that you have named them. The message tells them the role exists and who named them. It does not contain your stories.

Nothing is sent to them automatically, ever. There is no scheduled delivery and no timer. If they later contact us with credible evidence that you have died or can no longer manage your own affairs, we may — at our discretion, and by hand — work with them to provide access. We may decline. This is not a legal instrument; see §8 of the Terms.

You can change or remove your Trusted Contact at any time in the app. Removing them deletes their details from your account.

Data retention & deletion

We keep your information for as long as your account is active. You can delete an individual story in the app at any time, which also removes its associated audio and photo files.

To delete your entire account and all associated data, open the app and go to Settings → Delete account. You can also request deletion by emailing support@reminist.app. Your data is removed from our live systems immediately and from encrypted backups within 30 days. See our account deletion page for full details of what is removed.

What we keep after deletion, and why. A small amount of information survives account deletion: records of reports and enforcement actions, and of copyright notices and counter-notices (so we can act consistently on repeat problems, as the law expects of us), and basic transaction records, including gift codes and who bought them, where tax or accounting law requires us to keep them. These are kept no longer than necessary and are never used to rebuild your profile or your content.

Deleting your account does not cancel a membership. Memberships are not held by the app stores, so there is nothing to cancel there — use the subscription-management link in your receipt email, or email support@reminist.app, and we will cancel it.

International users

Reminist is operated from the United States. If you use the app from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States and other countries where we or our service providers operate, which may have data-protection laws different from those in your country.

Security

Data is encrypted in transit. Access to your stories is enforced by row-level security so that only you and the people you’ve shared with can read them. Media files are served through short-lived signed links rather than permanent public URLs. No method of storage or transmission is 100% secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your information.

Children’s privacy

Reminist is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it. Users under 18 need a parent or guardian’s involvement and consent — see §2 of the Terms.

Legal disclosures

We may disclose your information if we believe in good faith that it is necessary to comply with a law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request; to enforce our terms; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our users, the public, or us.

Copyright notices are shared with the other side. U.S. copyright law (17 U.S.C. §512) works by exchange: if someone sends us a notice about material you uploaded, we may send you a copy, including their name and contact details; if you send a counter-notice, we send a copy, including your name, address, and telephone number, to the person who complained. The Terms (§12.3–12.4) explain the process.

If Tauf Life Consulting, LLC is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, and we will notify you of any change in ownership or use of your personal information.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal information, to object to certain processing, and to withdraw consent you previously gave. To exercise any of these, contact support@reminist.app — we will respond within 30 days.

If you are in California, you have the right to know what personal information we collect and how we use it, to request its deletion, and to not be discriminated against for exercising those rights. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under the CCPA, and we do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes requiring a right to limit.

If you are in the EEA or the UK, our lawful bases are: performance of a contract (running the service you signed up for, including transcription and the other AI features described above, which are part of how Reminist works, and managing a membership or gift you bought), legitimate interests (security, abuse prevention, handling reports and copyright notices, and improving the app), consent (push notifications, which you can turn off at any time), and legal obligation (tax and law-enforcement requirements). You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will revise the “Last updated” date above and, for material changes, provide notice in the app or by email and ask you to accept the new version before continuing to use Reminist.
