TBJPrivacy policy
Effective November 12, 2026
The short version: what you write in TBJ stays on your iPhone, and in your own private iCloud if you choose to sync. We don't collect it, we can't see it, and we don't sell or share anything.
What the app stores
Everything you write or add in TBJ (entries, notes, photos, flags, boundaries, statements and settings) is stored on your device. If you turn on iCloud sync, it's also stored in your own private iCloud database, provided by Apple. Only your Apple Account can access that data. We, the developer, cannot.
What we collect
Nothing from the app. TBJ has no accounts, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking, and no third-party SDKs that collect data. The app doesn't send your journal anywhere except your private iCloud, and only if you turn sync on.
When you contact us
If you email us, including through "Reach out to us" in the app, we receive whatever you choose to send, along with your email address. We use it only to reply to you. We don't add you to mailing lists, and we'll delete your messages on request. Please don't include details from your journal.
This website
This site uses no cookies, analytics or trackers, and loads no third-party fonts or scripts. Like any website, our hosting provider may keep short-lived server logs, such as IP addresses, for security and reliability.
Passcode and Face ID
If you set a passcode, it's stored only as a one-way scrambled value on your device. We can't see it or recover it. Face ID is handled entirely by Apple; the app only learns whether it succeeded.
Deleting your data
- In the app, go to Settings, then Erase my data. This permanently deletes every entry, photo and setting.
- Deleting the app removes the data stored on your device.
- To remove synced data from iCloud, go to iPhone Settings, tap your name, then iCloud, then Manage Storage, and delete TBJ's data.
Children
TBJ isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date above. If a change affects how your data is handled, we'll also note it in the app.
