✍️ My Diary (Nhật Ký Của Tôi)

Our Privacy Commitment

I. Overview

This Privacy Policy describes how My Diary (Nhật Ký Của Tôi) (the "App") handles user information. The App is developed by mkdev.

The App is built on a local-first principle — no account required, no server, no internet connection needed to use the core features. All your diary entries, photos, and settings exist only on your device.

II. Data We Do NOT Collect

The App does not collect any of the following:

• Name, phone number, email address, or any personal identifiers
• Diary content or photos you attach (these always stay on your device)
• Precise location data

We (the developer) do not operate any server that collects user data. However, the App uses third-party advertising and analytics/crash-reporting services (Google, Firebase) that may collect some anonymous technical data — see sections V and VI.

III. Device Permissions

The App requests the following device permissions solely to enable its features:

• Photo Library: to attach photos to diary entries. Photos are only stored locally on your device and are never uploaded to our servers.
• Notifications: to send diary reminders and in-app notifications. You can disable them anytime in Settings.
• App Tracking Transparency: to show more relevant ads. If you decline, the App keeps working normally and only shows non-personalized ads.
• Face ID: to unlock your diary with biometrics (optional). Face ID data is handled entirely by Apple; the App has no access to it.

All permissions are requested through iOS's standard permission system. You can revoke any permission at any time via Settings > Privacy & Security.

IV. iCloud Sync (Optional)

The App supports optional data sync via Apple iCloud. This feature is entirely opt-in and controlled by you. Data synced through iCloud is encrypted end-to-end by Apple — we have no access to it. See: Apple's Privacy Policy.

V. Children's Privacy

The App is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you are a parent and believe your child has used the App, please contact us.

VI. Third-Party Services

To keep the App free and reliable, we integrate a few third-party services. These services may collect technical data under their own privacy policies:

• Google AdMob (advertising) — may use advertising identifiers (IDFA/IDFV) to serve relevant ads. See Google's Privacy Policy.
• Firebase Analytics (Google) — anonymous usage statistics to help improve the App.
• Firebase Crashlytics (Google) — crash reports to help us fix bugs.
• Firebase Cloud Messaging (Google) — to deliver push notifications.

These services do not access your diary content or photos — that content always remains on your device.

In-app purchases are processed entirely by Apple App Store. We do not store your payment information.

VII. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
