Mori: Journal Without Writing Last updated: May 19, 2026

Overview

Mori is a daily journal app that turns your photos into written memories. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it.

The short version: your photos never leave your device in a stored form, your raw GPS coordinates never leave your device, and we do not sell or share your data with advertisers.

Information We Collect

1. Account Information

When you create a Mori account, we collect:

• Email address - used to create and manage your account

• Photos are not stored on our servers
• We use OpenAI API services with data retention protections enabled where available.
