Native JournalPlus · iPhone + iPad
Privacy Policy
Effective Date: November 13, 2026
This notice applies to the native JournalPlus app. Using the original app? Its previous Privacy Policy remains available.
1. Information We Collect
Using the original JournalPlus app? This notice covers the native app. The original app’s previous notice remains available: Legacy App Privacy Policy
This policy describes the native JournalPlus app for iPhone and iPad. Journal content is stored on your device and synchronized through your private iCloud database when iCloud is available. The native app does not require a separate JournalPlus account.
RevenueCat helps verify, record and restore purchases. It processes purchase history, an anonymous purchase-customer identifier, the random journal identifier attached to a purchase, and technical purchase information. Journal names, entries, habits, mood, photos, drawings and insight results are not sent to RevenueCat. Apple processes payments; we do not receive your payment-card details.
2. How We Use Your Information
Journal insights and yearbook generation run on your device using locally available records. Journal text, mood, photos and drawings are not sent to a remote analytics or AI service to compute insights.
Purchase information is used to verify and restore access, prevent purchase fraud, and understand purchase activity through RevenueCat. Purchase analytics are separate from analysis of your journal content.
We do not sell your data or use it for advertising. If you contact support, we use the information you choose to send to respond to your request.
3. Data Sharing and Disclosure
Apple provides iCloud synchronization and payment processing. RevenueCat processes purchase information and opaque identifiers for purchase verification, restoration and purchase analytics. These services do not receive journal content from JournalPlus for insight computation.
Exports and yearbooks are generated locally. You choose whether to share or save them through the system share sheet, and which destination receives them.
4. Data Storage and Security
Device and Private iCloud Storage
Journal content is stored on your device and, when synchronized, in your private iCloud database. JournalPlus does not operate a separate journal-content server.
Platform Security
JournalPlus uses the app sandbox and Apple’s iCloud security mechanisms. Access to your device and iCloud account remains important to protecting your journal.
You can read and edit locally stored journals and create exports without an internet connection. Synchronization, store verification and restoration require the relevant Apple or RevenueCat service to be available.
5. Your Data Rights
You can edit or delete your journal records in the app and export your full journal without a purchase. Removing a purchase or receiving a refund does not delete your writing or original media.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to:
- Access, update, or delete your personal data
- Withdraw consent at any time
- File a complaint with a data protection authority
To exercise these rights, contact us at email@journalplus.app
6. Children's Privacy
JournalPlus is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted in-app or on our website with an updated "Effective Date." Continued use of the App constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
