1. Introduction
Welcome to Warm Diary (hereinafter referred to as "the App"), a mobile application designed for recording and preserving your daily thoughts, memories, and experiences. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use the App. By accessing or using the App, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the practices described herein. We adhere to applicable regulations including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and Apple App Store guidelines to safeguard your privacy.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 User - Generated Content
Diary Entries: All text, handwritten notes, photos, voice recordings, and other content you create or upload in the App are considered user - generated content. This information is solely created by you and remains under your control.
Account Information: If you choose to create an account, we may collect your email address (for account verification and password recovery) and a username (for display within the App). We do not require or collect sensitive personal information such as your real name, address, or financial details.
2.2 Technical and Usage Data
To enhance your experience and improve the App's functionality, we may automatically collect the following non - identifiable information:
Device information: Device model, iOS version, and unique device identifiers (anonymized to prevent personal identification).
Usage data: Frequency of App usage, features accessed, and the duration of each session. This data is aggregated and cannot be linked to individual users.
Crash logs: If the App experiences technical issues, we may collect crash reports (with your consent) to diagnose and fix problems. These logs do not contain any of your diary content.
3. How We Use Your Information
To Provide Core Services: Your diary entries and account information are used to enable the basic functionality of the App, such as saving your content, allowing you to edit and view entries, and facilitating account access.
To Improve the App: Aggregated technical and usage data helps us identify areas for improvement, develop new features, and ensure the App runs smoothly on different devices.
For Account Management: Your email address is used solely for account - related purposes, such as verifying your account, resetting your password, or notifying you of important account updates.
4. Data Storage and Security
Local Storage: By default, all your diary content is stored locally on your device. This gives you full control over your data, and it is not accessible to us or any third parties without your explicit action.
Cloud Synchronization (Optional): If you enable the optional cloud synchronization feature (powered by Apple's iCloud), your data will be synced across your Apple devices in accordance with Apple's privacy policies and terms of service. We do not have access to your iCloud - stored data.
Security Measures: We implement industry - standard security protocols to protect your local data, including encryption of content stored on your device. Additionally, you can set up a passcode, Touch ID, or Face ID within the App to restrict access to your diary entries.
5. Sharing of Information
We will never share, sell, or rent your diary content, account information, or any personal data with third parties for marketing or commercial purposes.
If required by law (such as in response to a valid subpoena or court order), we may disclose information to comply with legal obligations. In such cases, we will strive to provide only the minimum necessary information and notify you unless prohibited by law.
If you choose to share a diary entry with others through third - party platforms (such as messaging apps or social media), that action is governed by the privacy policies of those platforms, not this Privacy Policy.
6. Your Rights
Access and Control: You have full access to all your diary content through the App's interface. You can edit, delete, or export your entries at any time.
Account Management: You can update your account information (such as your email address or username) or delete your account entirely within the App's settings. Deleting your account will remove your account information from our systems, but your locally stored diary content will remain on your device unless you choose to delete it.
Data Portability: You can export your diary entries in common formats (such as text or PDF) through the App's export feature, allowing you to save or transfer your data as you wish.
Opt - Out Options: You can disable cloud synchronization at any time, and you can choose not to provide consent for the collection of crash logs.
7. Children's Privacy
The App is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13, we will take immediate steps to delete that information from our systems.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you by displaying a prominent notice within the App or sending you an email (if you have an account). The "Last updated" date at the top of this Policy will be revised to reflect the changes. Your continued use of the App after the effective date of the updated Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms.
