Last updated: 14 October 2026 · Applies to the Dassah Assist Android app (com.dassahassist.app)
Dassah Assist is a personal assistant and life organization app designed to help you manage reminders, daily plans, journaling, and other parts of your day. This policy is written plainly rather than in legal language, because you should be able to understand what happens to your words without a lawyer.
This information is kept in the app's own storage on your device. If you uninstall the app without backing up, it is gone, and we cannot recover it for you.
You sign in with Google. We receive your email address, your name as Google provides it, and an account identifier. This is used to know that the app is yours, to keep track of whether you have a free trial or a Pro subscription, and to link a Cloud Backup to you. Sign-in is handled by Firebase Authentication, a Google service.
If you turn on journal backup in Settings, your entries and the photos in them are encrypted on your phone first, using AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption, and only the encrypted result is uploaded to Google Firebase. Titles, text, categories, photo contents and even photo filenames are all inside that encryption.
Dassah Assist does not possess the journal master key in readable form. It is created on your phone. Backed-up journal content cannot be decrypted from the database alone without one of your recovery secrets. A data request to Dassah Assist cannot produce journal plaintext that Dassah Assist does not possess, though account information and encrypted data could still be compelled.
What that means for you: your recovery passphrase and your emergency recovery code are the ways back in. If you lose your phone and both of those, your backed-up journal cannot be recovered, by you or by us. That is the cost of it being genuinely private, and it is why Dassah asks you to keep more than one recovery method.
What is not encrypted, and could be seen by someone with database access: how many entries you have, and when each was last changed. No content.
Reminders are backed up without this encryption, because features like travel-time alerts need to read them. They are protected by security rules restricting them to your signed-in account.
Separately from backup, you can require your fingerprint, face or phone screen lock before your journal opens. Dassah never stores a PIN or password of its own: this uses your phone's own authentication. While your journal is open, Dassah also keeps it out of the recent-apps preview and blocks screenshots of it. Your reminders keep working while the journal is locked.
Dassah's smart features — journal help, Plan My Day, and turning a spoken sentence into a reminder — work by sending the text you are working on to OpenAI, through a server run for this app. This only happens when you tap a button that asks for it. It never happens in the background, and your journal is never sent on its own.
When you tap the microphone, your speech is converted to text by your device's speech-recognition service, which on many Android devices is provided by Google and governed by that provider's privacy policy. Dassah Assist receives the recognised text rather than the audio, and keeps no recording. When Dassah speaks, it uses the text-to-speech voices already installed on your phone.
If you enable a traffic-aware reminder, Dassah Assist sends the information necessary to calculate the route, such as your trip origin and destination, to Google Maps Platform. Google may process this information under Google's Privacy Policy and applicable Google Maps Platform terms. Dassah Assist uses the result to estimate when you should leave, and does not store your live device location as part of your journal.
Dassah Assist is not intended for children under 13, and accounts are not knowingly created for them.
Data stays until you remove it. You can delete individual entries and reminders in the app, delete your journal backup in Settings — which removes every backed-up entry, every backed-up photo and the encrypted key — or delete your whole account. Deleting your whole account removes the account data, usage information, and backups controlled by Dassah Assist, and also clears the journal, reminders, photos and settings held on this phone; purchase or transaction records maintained independently by Google Play may remain subject to Google's own retention requirements. Deleting a backup does not touch the journal on your phone. To request deletion another way, email the address below and it will be handled within 30 days.
Technical logs are the one thing that outlives a deletion, and they contain none of your content. Each AI request records a request number, your account identifier, which feature was used, the app version, whether it succeeded and how many tokens it cost — never the text you sent, and never the answer. These are held by Google Cloud Logging under its default retention period of 30 days.
If we materially change how personal information is collected, used, or shared, we will provide appropriate notice in the app before or when the change takes effect, as required. The date at the top shows when this policy was last updated.
