Privacy Policy

Moments: Daily Reflections (“the app”) is a private, single-person micro-journal developed by Tamas Bereczki (“we”, “us”, “our”). The app is built so that we do not collect personal data, we do not operate any servers, and we do not use analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs of any kind. Your moments are yours. This page explains the limited data the app stores on your device and the Apple platform services it relies on.

1. Data stored on your device

Everything you create in Moments is stored locally on your iPhone using Apple’s on-device frameworks (SwiftData and UserDefaults). This includes:

• Your moments — each check-in’s timestamp, the chosen activity, the chosen mood, and an optional note.
• Custom activities you create (a name and an icon).
• App settings — notification frequency, quiet-hours window, and appearance (System / Light / Dark).
• Local statistics — your streak and simple counts used to draw the Insights screen.

This data stays on your device. It is removed when you delete the app. We have no copy of it and no way to access it.

2. iCloud (Apple — your iCloud account)

Moments is designed to keep your moments within Apple’s ecosystem. Where the app uses iCloud to back up or sync your data across your own devices, that data is stored in the private iCloud container associated with your Apple Account. It is governed by your iCloud settings, and we cannot read, retrieve, or share it. If you prefer not to use iCloud, you can disable it for Moments in Settings → Apple Account → iCloud.

Apple’s privacy policy: apple.com/legal/privacy.

3. Notifications

With your permission, Moments schedules quiet check-in reminders. These are local notifications generated and delivered on your device by Apple’s UserNotifications framework — no server is involved and no data about you is sent anywhere. You can change the frequency, set quiet hours, or turn reminders off entirely in the app’s Settings, or revoke the permission in iOS Settings at any time.

4. Purchases

The current version of Moments is free and contains no purchases. A future optional tier (“Moments Plus”) would be sold by Apple through the App Store and StoreKit. If and when it ships, the app would read only your entitlement (whether you’ve purchased) — never your payment method, billing address, or Apple Account details.

5. What we do not do

• No analytics, attribution, advertising, or crash-reporting SDKs.
• No advertising and no use of the IDFA (Advertising Identifier).
• No developer-operated servers, and no third-party tracking requests.
• No accounts, sign-in, or user profiles.
• No tracking across other apps or websites.
• No sale or sharing of personal data — we have none to sell.

6. Children

Moments is intended for a general audience and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone, including children.

7. Your rights

Because we do not store or process your data on any server, there is nothing on our side to access, export, correct, or delete. You remain in full control on your device:

• Delete individual moments from the Timeline at any time.
• Delete the app to remove all of its local data from the device.
• Manage any iCloud data through your Apple Account settings.

If you are in the EEA or UK, laws such as the GDPR and UK GDPR may grant you rights including access, rectification, erasure, and portability. Because your data lives only on your device and in your private iCloud, these are exercised directly through your device and Apple’s services.

8. Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy as the app evolves. Material changes will be reflected by updating the effective date at the top of this page.

9. Governing law

This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of Romania, without regard to conflict of law principles.
