What we keep,
and what we don't.

1. Who we are

This privacy policy applies to the Jourdwee iOS app and the website at [YOUR DOMAIN]. The "data controller" — the entity legally responsible for the small amount of personal data we do see — is [LEGAL ENTITY NAME], registered at [REGISTERED ADDRESS]. You can reach us at hello@Jourdwee.app.

2. What the app collects

Jourdwee is designed to do its job without sending your writing anywhere we can see. The categories of data we receive are:

• App Store purchase records. Apple tells us, in anonymised form, that an account purchased the app or restored a previous purchase. We use this to honour the one-time payment and any future updates included in it.
• Crash diagnostics. If the app crashes and you have iOS analytics sharing turned on (a per-device Apple setting), Apple may share an anonymised crash log with us. These contain no journal content.
• Email correspondence. If you write to us, we keep the email until the conversation is resolved, then delete it within a reasonable period.

That's the full list. We don't run analytics on your behaviour inside the app, we don't track you across other apps or websites, and we don't have advertising identifiers.

3. What we don't collect

We do not collect, see, store, log, transmit, or otherwise process the contents of your journal entries. Not the text, not the timestamps, not the topic labels, not the search queries, not metadata derived from any of those. The promise on the landing page — that Jourdwee is a quiet place to write — is also a privacy promise.

4. Where your entries live

When you write in Jourdwee, the app stores your entries on your device and (when iCloud is enabled) in your personal iCloud account using Apple's CloudKit private database. This is the same mechanism Apple uses for Notes, Reminders, and Photos.

The CloudKit private database is governed by Apple's iCloud terms and privacy policy, which you can read at apple.com/legal/privacy. Apple is the operator of that storage; we have no access to it.

If you turn iCloud off for Jourdwee, your entries stay on the local device only. If you delete the app and have iCloud enabled, the entries remain in iCloud until you delete them there.

5. Third parties we rely on

The third parties involved in running Jourdwee are:

• Apple. App Store distribution, In-App Purchase, iCloud / CloudKit storage, and (optionally) anonymous crash reporting. Apple's privacy policy applies to that processing.
• Email provider ([PROVIDER NAME, e.g. Fastmail / Proton]). When you email us, our mail provider processes the message in transit and at rest.

We do not use third-party analytics SDKs, advertising networks, attribution tools, A/B testing platforms, or generative-AI providers. If that changes in the future, we will update this page and notify users in-app before the change takes effect.

6. Children

Jourdwee is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in jurisdictions that require it). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.

7. Your rights (EU / UK)

If you are in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with comparable data-protection laws, you have rights over your personal data including:

• The right to access the personal data we hold about you.
• The right to correct it if it's inaccurate.
• The right to delete it ("right to be forgotten").
• The right to portability — to receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• The right to object to processing or to restrict it.
• The right to lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority.

For most of these rights, the practical answer for Jourdwee is: we don't hold the data in the first place. Your entries are in your iCloud, not on our systems — manage them through iCloud or use Jourdwee's in-app export. For the small amount we do see (purchase records, crash logs, support emails), email hello@Jourdwee.app and we will respond within 30 days.

Our EU representative under GDPR Article 27 is [EU REPRESENTATIVE NAME & CONTACT, e.g. via EDPO / GDPR Local].

8. Your rights (United States)

If you are a California resident or are otherwise covered by a U.S. state privacy law (CCPA/CPRA, Virginia CDPA, Colorado CPA, Connecticut CTDPA, Utah UCPA, and similar), you have the right to know what we collect, request deletion, opt out of sale or sharing, and not be discriminated against for exercising your rights.

For Jourdwee specifically: we do not sell your personal information, and we do not "share" it for cross-context behavioural advertising, as those terms are defined under the CCPA/CPRA. We have not done so in the preceding twelve months and have no plans to do so.

9. International transfers

We are based in [COUNTRY]. The limited data we process (purchase records, crash logs, emails) may be processed in [COUNTRY] and via our email provider's infrastructure. Apple's iCloud storage is operated by Apple across multiple regions according to Apple's published terms. Where data crosses borders out of the EU/UK, the appropriate transfer mechanism (e.g. Standard Contractual Clauses) applies.

10. How long we keep things

• Purchase records: kept for as long as required by tax and accounting law in our jurisdiction (typically 7-10 years).
• Crash logs: kept for up to 90 days, then deleted.
• Support emails: kept until the conversation is resolved, then deleted within 12 months.
• Your journal entries: we don't have them. iCloud retention is up to you and Apple.

11. Security

For the small amount of data we touch, we use TLS in transit and rely on the encryption-at-rest of our infrastructure providers. The most important security property of Jourdwee is structural: we don't have a database of your sentences, so there's nothing for us to leak.

12. Changes to this policy

If we materially change this policy, we will update the "last updated" date above and, where the change is significant, notify you in the app before it takes effect. Older versions of this policy are available on request.
