Disclaimer: This privacy policy is provided for transparency and general information. It is not legal advice. You should seek qualified legal advice if you need guidance about your specific obligations.
This Privacy Policy explains how Reflect Mindfulness Journal ("the app") handles information when you use the iOS app. The app is developed by Matthew Way.
The app is designed as a mindfulness and journaling tool. It is not a medical service, therapy service, diagnosis tool, crisis service, or emergency support tool. If you are in crisis, feel unsafe, or need urgent help, please contact local emergency services or seek support from a qualified professional.
The app may collect or process the following categories of information, depending on how you use it and which permissions you allow:
Information is used to provide, maintain, personalize, and improve the app. This includes enabling daily reflections, mood tracking, photo and voice note features, calendar and timeline views, insights, widgets, reminders, calming reset sessions, purchases, subscriptions, ads, analytics, crash reporting, and performance monitoring.
Journal entries, reflections, notes, moods, photos, and voice notes are used to provide the app's journaling functionality. For example, this information may be used to display your timeline, calendar, insights, widgets, and reflection history.
Personal journal content is not used for advertising.
The app may use Google AdMob to show ads. Device ID and Advertising Data may be used by advertising partners for third-party advertising and tracking where permitted, and subject to user consent where required.
You can manage tracking permission in iOS Settings, including through the app's tracking permission controls and the privacy settings available on your device.
The app may process product interaction data to understand how features are used and to improve the app experience. Crash data and performance data may be used to diagnose issues, improve stability, and monitor app performance.
If the app offers purchases or subscriptions, purchase history may be processed to unlock paid features, manage entitlements, restore purchases, and support App Store purchase functionality. Apple processes purchases through its own systems and may handle related information according to Apple's privacy policies.
The app may store journal data locally on your device. Depending on your device settings and app features, information may also be included in device backups or synced using Apple services such as iCloud or CloudKit.
Deleting data from the app or deleting the app from your device may remove local app data, but some information may remain in iCloud, CloudKit, device backups, or other Apple-managed services depending on your settings and backup behavior.
The app may use notifications and reminders to help you build a journaling habit or return to calming reset sessions. You can manage notification permissions in iOS Settings at any time.
The app is not intended for children under the age required by applicable law to use digital services without parental consent. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app, please contact Matthew Way using the contact details below.
Journal content is generally retained for as long as it remains stored in the app, on your device, or in any enabled Apple storage or backup services. Analytics, crash, performance, advertising, and purchase-related information may be retained by the relevant service providers according to their own retention practices.
You can control your information in several ways:
The app may use third-party and platform services, including:
Third-party services may process data according to their own privacy policies and terms. Their processing may be outside the direct control of Matthew Way.
If you use the app from outside the United Kingdom, your information may be processed in countries where Apple, Google, or other service providers operate. Data protection laws may differ from those in your location.
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. When changes are made, the effective date on this page will be updated. Continued use of the app after changes are posted means the updated policy applies.
