Privacy Policy

Effective date: 8 May 2026 · Last updated: 8 May 2026

The short version Ohene is built so you can write the things you have never written anywhere else. Your memories stay on your device. We cannot read them. We do not sell them. No account is required. The surprises only work if you feel safe enough to be honest. That is why we built it this way.

Who we are

Ohene is a product of Talka Technologies, a company registered in the State of Wyoming, USA (Sheridan, Wyoming). Ohene was founded by a team with roots in Accra, Ghana. Ohene is a Personal Memory Intelligence application available on iOS.

If you have any questions about this policy, please contact us at admin@talkatechnologies.com.

The local-first promise

Ohene is local-first by architecture, not by promise. Your memories live on your device in a private database. The intelligence that reads them runs on your device too, using Apple's on-device language model where available and Ohene's own pattern engine where not.

On the free tier, nothing leaves your device. Not your memory text. Not your photos. Not your name. Not a single byte. Our servers will refuse the request before any data could be transmitted.

What stays on your device

The following data is stored only on your device, never on our servers:

What Pro tier sends to our servers

Ohene Pro adds AI features that genuinely require generation beyond what runs on-device. When you use one of these features, a relevant excerpt of your text is sent over encrypted HTTPS to Anthropic's Claude API, routed through our own Cloudflare Worker proxy at ohene-proxy.adarkwayiadom.workers.dev.

The six Pro features that transmit text to Anthropic are:

The text we transmit during these features is:

Each of these Pro features displays an in-app notice the first time you use it, naming Anthropic and explaining what is sent. You can choose to use only the local-only features and never transmit anything.

Device identifier

To enforce subscription tiers and prevent abuse of our API, Ohene generates a random per-install identifier (a UUID) when you first launch the app. This identifier is stored in your device's Keychain and is sent as a header to our Cloudflare worker on every Pro-tier API call.

This identifier is not paired with your name, email, or any other personal information. It is used only for rate limiting and tier verification. It is never sold, never shared with advertisers, and never used to track you across other apps or websites.

iCloud sync

Ohene supports optional iCloud sync through Apple's CloudKit. Sync is off by default. If you enable it in Settings, your memories are stored in your own private iCloud database, accessible only by you and only on devices signed in to your iCloud account. Talka Technologies does not have access to your iCloud database.

If you turn iCloud sync off, the database falls back to local-only storage on the current device.

Health data

Ohene reads State of Mind entries from Apple Health, with your permission, to soften the editorial register on emotionally heavy weeks. This is a read-only integration. Ohene never writes to Health, never transmits Health data off your device, and never uses Health data for marketing.

You can revoke Health access at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Health → Ohene.

Subscriptions

Ohene Pro subscriptions are managed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive your payment information. Apple processes payments and provides us with a receipt to verify your subscription status. Your billing information is governed by Apple's privacy policy.

Photos

If you attach photos to memories, those photos are stored locally on your device only. They are compressed before storage. Photos are never sent to any server. Ohene performs no image recognition, no facial analysis, and no vision-model inference of any kind on your photos.

App lock

If you enable app lock, Ohene uses Apple's Local Authentication framework (Face ID, Touch ID, or passcode) to protect access. Your biometric data never leaves your device and is never accessible to Ohene or Talka Technologies.

Encryption

Ohene's on-device data is encrypted at three layers:

Tracking

Ohene does not track you. There are no third-party advertising SDKs in the app. There are no analytics services that profile across apps or websites. There is no IDFA collection. We will never present an "Ask App Not to Track" prompt because there is nothing to track.

Children

Ohene is rated 17+ and is intended for adults reflecting on their own lives. We do not knowingly collect any information from children under 13.

Data retention and deletion

Your memories are stored on your device for as long as you use the app. If you delete the app, all locally-stored data is permanently removed.

If you have iCloud sync enabled, your memories also live in your private iCloud database. To delete those, sign in to iCloud.com, open Settings → Manage Storage, and remove the Ohene container.

We have no copy of your memories on our servers, so there is no central record for us to delete.

Your rights

Because we do not collect personally identifiable information, most traditional data rights requests (access, deletion, portability) are fulfilled by simply using or deleting the app itself.

If you are a resident of a jurisdiction with specific privacy rights (such as the EU, UK, California, or other US states with privacy statutes), and have specific questions or concerns about data that may have been transmitted during Pro AI processing, please contact us at admin@talkatechnologies.com.

Third-party services

Ohene uses the following third-party services:

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by updating the date at the top of this page. Continued use of Ohene after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
