The short version

This app does not collect anything. Your entries are stored on your device and are not sent anywhere. There is no account, no server of ours, and no analytics.

What is stored, and where

Everything you write — entries, their dates, and your settings — is kept in a database file inside the app's own storage on your device. Nobody else can read it, including us: we have no copy and no way to obtain one. **Your journal is excluded from your device's own backups.** iCloud and Google's backup service copy most apps' files automatically; this app asks both of them not to. That is deliberate: an app sold on "nothing leaves this device" should not be putting a copy of your diary on a company's servers on your behalf, even quietly. It has a cost, and you should know it: if you lose the phone and have not exported, the journal is gone with it. Exporting is free, always, and puts a copy exactly where you choose. It is the only copy that exists outside the app.

What is not collected

• No name, email address, or account of any kind
• No analytics, usage statistics, or crash reports
• No advertising identifiers, and no advertising
• No location
• No contacts, photos, or files beyond what you choose to export

Face ID, Touch ID and your device passcode

If you turn on the lock, the app asks your device to confirm it is you. The confirmation happens inside the operating system; the app is told only whether it succeeded. Your biometric data never reaches the app and cannot be read by it.

Photographs

Photographs you add to an entry are copied into the app's own storage and stay there. The app does not ask for access to your photo library: your device shows you its own picker and passes along only the picture you chose, so the app never sees the rest.

Exporting

When you export your journal, the file is created on your device and handed to your system's share sheet. Where it goes next is entirely your choice. The app does not upload it. If your journal contains photographs the export is a zip archive rather than a single text file, so that the pictures leave with the words. **Photographs are copied unchanged, which means any information the camera stored inside them — the date and often the place a picture was taken — travels with them.** We do not strip it, because altering your files without asking is not something this app should do. It is worth knowing before you send an export to somebody else.

Subscriptions

If subscriptions become available, purchases are handled by the App Store or Google Play. We receive confirmation that a subscription is active. We do not receive your payment details.

Children

The app is not directed at children and collects nothing from anyone, including them.

Changes

If this policy ever changes, the updated version will be published here with a new date. Since the app collects nothing, any change would be about adding something — and adding anything that leaves your device would be announced in the app before it happened, not buried in a policy update.
