Summary of Key Points
- Journal entries, images, identity cards, wish cards, role model notes, tasks, durations, DIY items, and similar personal records are stored on your device by default. If you enable iCloud Sync, supported Core Data records may sync through your private iCloud database.
- DIY items are user- or agent-generated local HTML-based artifacts, such as visualizations, reports, small interactive tools, and related asset files.
- Agent-delivered DIY items and data-changing agent suggestions are handled through in-app proposal review. Approving these Terms and this Privacy Policy does not automatically grant local data access or external network access; DIY permissions are controlled separately in Agent Access or proposal review.
- If you sign in, Apple processes the account identifiers and credentials needed for Sign in with Apple, and Supabase provides the app's account authentication service.
- If you make a purchase, Apple handles payment and RevenueCat may process the app user ID, receipts, and entitlement status so subscriptions can be restored and managed.
- If you choose to share a DIY item, Evolournal creates an encrypted link or file on your device. Evolournal does not store the generated share password, and recipients who receive both the encrypted payload and password may decrypt, preview, import, or further share that DIY package.
- If you contact support, we receive your email and anything you choose to send, including screenshots or diagnostic details.
- On the support website, your browser may store your preferred language so the site can reopen in English or Chinese.
- You can export or delete app data from within the app, and you can choose whether to enable iCloud Sync.

1. Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how Evolournal handles information when you use the Evolournal mobile app and this support website.
The product is designed around local-first personal records. Core journaling and planning content stays on your device by default, and you can choose whether to enable iCloud Sync for supported app data.
2. Storage Choices and iCloud Sync
The app may store the following on your device:
- Journal entries and entry metadata
- Images and attachments you add to entries or related records
- Identity cards, wish cards, role model notes, and related reflection content
- Tasks, durations, calendar-linked planning data, and other Evo Today records
- DIY item files, metadata, declared permissions, locally stored result snapshots, and share-related temporary files
- App preferences such as language, appearance, reminders, and similar settings
The primary working copy of this content stays on your device by default. If you enable iCloud Sync in Your Data, supported Core Data records may sync through Apple's private iCloud/CloudKit infrastructure tied to your Apple ID. You can also create your own backup through the app's export tools.
2.1 DIY items and local web artifacts
DIY items are user- or agent-generated local artifacts intended to be viewed inside Evolournal. They may include HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, documents rendered into web-friendly assets, metadata, and related files saved in the app's local storage.
Some DIY items can request declared capabilities, such as reading a limited local Evolournal data manifest, querying local record summaries or selected record content, or loading external network URLs. Evolournal is designed to limit DIY items to the capabilities declared for that item and to make higher-risk capabilities visible to you before use. A DIY item with external network access may contact third-party URLs that are not controlled by Evolournal.
When a paired external agent sends a DIY item or another data-changing suggestion, Evolournal presents it as a pending in-app proposal before saving or applying it. For DIY items, local data provider access and external network access are off by default. You can enable DIY permissions once in Agent Access, or from the proposal review button; while enabled, approved DIY proposals can use their declared supported capabilities.
DIY items are not uploaded to Evolournal by default. They leave your device only when you export them, share them, send them to support, or otherwise choose to transmit them.
3. Account Access and Purchases
3.1 Sign in with Apple and account authentication
If you sign in to Evolournal, Apple may process information such as Apple-issued account identifiers, authentication credentials, and related account metadata needed for Sign in with Apple.
Evolournal uses Supabase Auth to maintain the app account session. Supabase may process the authentication user ID, session metadata, and any email address or private relay email Apple provides for the account.
3.2 In-app purchases and subscriptions
If you make a purchase, Apple processes the transaction. RevenueCat may process the app user ID, product identifiers, receipts, purchase tokens, and entitlement status so subscription access can be verified, restored, and managed.
4. Support and Website Preferences
4.1 Support requests
If you email support, we receive the contents of your message and any files or screenshots you choose to attach.
Support emails may also include helpful troubleshooting details you choose to send, such as app version, device model, system version, language, user ID, or the screen you were using when the issue happened.
4.2 Website language preference
This support website may store a language preference in your browser's local storage so the site can reopen in your preferred language.
5. How We Use Information
We use information for the following purposes:
- To power journaling, identity, wish, role model, and daily planning features inside the app
- To let you sign in and keep your account session active when account access is enabled
- To verify, restore, and manage paid features and subscriptions
- To answer support requests and troubleshoot product issues
- To comply with applicable law and protect our legal rights when required
6. Sharing and Service Providers
During ordinary app use, journal entries, images, identity cards, wish cards, role model notes, tasks, durations, and similar personal records remain on your device by default. If you enable iCloud Sync, supported records may sync through your private iCloud database.
6.1 DIY sharing
DIY sharing is initiated by you. You may choose to share a template-only DIY package, or a snapshot package that can include the DIY item and the current exportable DIY result or data snapshot associated with that item. Review the share prompt carefully before choosing what to include.
When you share a DIY item, Evolournal encrypts the package on your device and creates either an encrypted web link or an encrypted file, together with a generated share password. Evolournal does not store the generated password and cannot recover it after you close the share screen. If you send both the encrypted payload and the password to someone, that recipient may decrypt, preview, import, save, or further share the DIY package.
Encrypted DIY links may open on the Evolournal support website so the recipient's browser can decrypt and preview the package locally after the password is entered. The decrypted DIY contents and password are not intentionally sent to Evolournal's servers by that page. Large packages may be shared as local encrypted files instead of links.
We may share limited information with the following providers when needed to operate the services you choose to use:
- Apple for Sign in with Apple, in-app purchases, and App Store-related operations
- Supabase for account authentication and account deletion requests
- RevenueCat for subscription receipt handling and entitlement management
- Email and internet service providers when you send a support email
- Authorities or legal counterparties when disclosure is required by law or necessary to protect legal rights
Relevant third-party policies are available here:
- Apple Media Services: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/
- Supabase Privacy: https://supabase.com/privacy
- RevenueCat Privacy: https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy
7. Data Retention and Control
App content remains on your device until you delete it, remove app data, or uninstall the app. If you enable iCloud Sync, synced copies are also subject to your Apple iCloud settings and CloudKit sync behavior.
When you use Delete Account in the app, Evolournal requests deletion of your Supabase Auth user and configured server-side account records, then clears local app data on the device.
Apple purchase records and RevenueCat subscription records may be retained by those providers under their own policies and legal obligations, including subscription restoration, fraud prevention, tax, accounting, and regulatory requirements.
Support emails and attachments may be retained for as long as needed to answer your request, keep a record of support history, or meet legal obligations.
You can manage much of your personal data directly inside the app, including exporting data, deleting local records, and deleting your Evolournal account. For account-related privacy questions, contact us at support@evolournal.com.
8. Security
We rely on a combination of local device storage, platform security controls, authenticated account access where enabled, and restricted operational access for support workflows.
DIY share security also depends on how you handle the encrypted payload and password. Sending the encrypted link or file separately from the password is safer. We cannot revoke copies that have already been sent to others.
No storage or transmission method can be guaranteed to be perfectly secure, so you should continue to use your device and accounts with appropriate care.
9. Children's Privacy
Evolournal is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to us through account access or support channels, please contact us and we will review the request.
10. International Use and Policy Changes
If you use Evolournal from a country other than the one where a service provider operates, account, purchase, or support information may be processed in another jurisdiction under that provider's systems.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date on this page.
