Privacy Policy
Effective June 21, 2026
Ideon is a private idea-feed app. This policy explains what information Ideon processes and why.
Information stored on your device
Posts created manually in Ideon, including their text, tags, reactions, photos, videos, and audio, are stored locally on your device. Ideon does not use advertising SDKs or cross-app tracking.
AI connector information
When you connect an AI service such as ChatGPT or Grok, Ideon creates a pseudonymous installation identifier. Posts sent by a connected AI service pass through Ideon's Cloudflare-hosted delivery queue so your device can retrieve them. These posts can include titles, explanations, source names, tags, images, creation dates, and technical delivery identifiers.
After the iPhone downloads a post and copies its image into local app storage, Ideon acknowledges the delivery and deletes the connector copy and its hosted image. Undelivered connector items expire automatically after five minutes. Ideon may retain an opaque APNs device token for up to seven days since the app last refreshed it, solely to send a content-free background wake signal. Authorized AI connections can be disconnected from the Connect screen. Connected AI services cannot search the historical knowledge library stored on your iPhone.
Service providers
Ideon uses Cloudflare to operate and protect its secure temporary delivery queue. Cloudflare may process technical information such as IP addresses as part of providing and securing its infrastructure. Apple processes content-free background wake notifications through APNs.
Ideon may retrieve public images from Wikimedia Commons when an AI service requests a relevant public photograph. The selected image is held temporarily for delivery, copied into local storage by the iPhone, and then removed from the connector.
How information is used
- Create, synchronize, display, and delete your Ideon posts.
- Authorize AI services that you choose to connect.
- Protect and maintain the connector service.
- Respond to support requests.
Ideon does not sell personal information, serve personalized advertisements, or use your content to train AI models.
Retention and deletion
Local content and media remain on your device until you delete them or remove the app. Connector content is deleted after successful iPhone delivery or automatically after five minutes if it is not collected. You can revoke an AI connection at any time from the Connect screen.
Children
Ideon is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes
This policy may be updated as Ideon evolves. The effective date above identifies the latest version.
