Your words, your privacy

Privacy

Last updated 5 September 2026

What is stored, and where

Everything the app holds is written to storage owned by the app on your own device:

• Your entries — the date and the sentence you wrote.
• Your settings — the reminder time, whether reminders are on, and the paper stock you chose.
• Whether Premium has been unlocked, so the paid features work while offline.

Linewell does not transmit your entries to its own server or to the purchase service. The app does not ask you to create an account with a name or email address. Purchase-related information is handled separately as described below.

Permissions

The app asks for notification permission, and only to show the daily reminder you scheduled yourself. Notifications are produced on the device; nothing is sent through a push service, and the reminder text never contains anything you have written.

Declining the permission leaves every other part of the app working.

Exports, backups and sharing

Exporting is the one way your writing leaves the app, and it happens only when you ask for it. The plain-text export and the Year Book PDF are saved to a folder you choose; the JSON backup is a file you place where you like.

Once a file is saved or sent, it is covered by whatever handles it next — your file manager, your cloud drive, the app you shared it with. A backup contains your entries and settings in readable form, so treat it as you would a diary.

Purchases

Premium is a one-time purchase processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play. RevenueCat helps the app check and restore Premium access. This involves an anonymous purchase-service identifier and purchase information, such as transaction and product information, when a purchase exists. Purchase information supports entitlement management and purchase analytics; it is not linked to a Linewell account and is not used for advertising tracking.

Payment details are handled by Apple or Google and are not received by Linewell. Your journal entries are not sent to Apple, Google or RevenueCat by the app's purchase integration. See RevenueCat's privacy policy for its handling of purchase-service data.

App updates

On Android the app asks the Google Play Store app already installed on your phone whether a newer version has been published, and if so lets Play offer it to you. That exchange is between your device and Play. No request reaches a Linewell server, nothing you have written is involved, and declining leaves the app working exactly as before.

Children

The app is suitable for general audiences and does not require a Linewell account or send journal entries to a Linewell service. Optional purchases are handled by the platform store and the purchase service described above.

Deleting your data

Any single day can be removed. Open it in History and choose Delete: the row is deleted from the database outright, not emptied or hidden, and once the brief Undo has passed neither you nor we can recover it without a backup you saved. The editing window does not stand in the way of this — it exists to stop the record being rewritten, not to stop you withdrawing something.

Removing the app and its data deletes the journal stored by that installation. Linewell does not hold a server copy for us to recover, so export a backup before uninstalling or changing devices if you want to keep your journal.

Deleting an entry changes the journal on this device only. Export and backup files you have already saved sit outside the app and must be deleted separately, and restoring an older backup can bring a deleted day back with it. An Apple or Android device backup may also retain a copy according to your own backup settings.

Changes to this policy

If the app ever gains a feature that changes any of the above, this page will be updated before that feature ships, and the date at the top will change with it.
