Privacy without losing reflection support
Sotie is built around a simple tension: people want the usefulness of AI, but they do not want their journal to stop feeling private. The app's current product language puts private writing first and AI-guided reflection second.
What the product actually promises
Sotie does not position itself as therapy, coaching, or an advice engine. It positions itself as an AI journal for self-reflection and emotional clarity, powered by one question at a time.
Questions people still have
Where are journal entries stored?
The app's own privacy messaging says journal entries are stored only on this device, and recommends exporting regularly so you always have a backup.
Does Sotie use my journal to train models?
The product positions AI reflection as reading what you wrote to ask the next question. For the precise legal and processing language, the privacy policy is the canonical source.
