1. Introduction

Thank you for using Five Minute Journal! Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains how your data is handled when using the app.

2. Data Storage and Syncing

Your journal entries are stored securely on your device using SwiftData. If you enable iCloud syncing, your entries will be stored in your private iCloud account and synced across your devices. We do not have access to your journal data.

3. Analytics and Insights

• The app may use Apple’s built-in analytics to help improve performance and user experience.

• If you choose to use the weekly insights feature, selected data may be processed by ChatGPT to generate summaries. However, this processing happens through Apple’s APIs, and all results are stored only on your device. We do not collect or store these insights.

4. Third-Party Services

The app does not share your data with third-party services, except for optional insights processing through ChatGPT. No personal data is ever sent to external servers controlled by us.

5. Your Privacy Choices

• You control your data. The app does not collect personal information.

• You can disable iCloud syncing in your device settings if you prefer to keep your data entirely local.

• You can choose not to use the insights feature if you do not want data processed by ChatGPT.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy as needed. Any changes will be reflected in this document.
