Personal Diary Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy applies specifically and exclusively to your use of the Personal Diary mobile application published by Saurabh Studio.
1. Core Principles & Offline Architecture
Personal Diary is engineered as an offline-first application. All diary entries, titles, mood tags, voice audio recordings, and attached photos are saved exclusively on your local device.
Saurabh Studio does not operate remote user databases or cloud synchronization servers for this app. We do not access, inspect, collect, or sell your personal journal records.
2. Information Stored Locally on Device
• Diary Content & Metadata: Your written thoughts, tags, dates, and mood indicators are stored in a private local SQLite/Drift database on your device. • Media Attachments: Photos and audio recordings you capture or attach are saved only in the application’s sandboxed private directory. • Encrypted Backups: When you generate a backup, it is saved locally as an encrypted file. You retain total ownership and custody of your backup files.
3. Technical Data & Third-Party Advertising
Personal Diary does not collect or transmit personal identifying information. To support ongoing maintenance, the free version integrates Google AdMob (Google Play Services).
Google AdMob may collect limited technical telemetry in accordance with Google’s Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy), including mobile advertising identifiers (GAID), general coarse location (derived from IP address), and app performance diagnostic metrics for ad serving purposes.
4. Device Permissions & Purpose
The application requests only permissions necessary to deliver user-selected features:
• Biometrics (USE_BIOMETRIC): Enables fingerprint or face unlock to secure your diary on-device. • Camera (CAMERA): Allows you to take photos directly inside the app to attach to diary entries. • Microphone (RECORD_AUDIO): Allows recording voice memos to attach to entries. • Media & Storage (READ_MEDIA_IMAGES, READ_MEDIA_AUDIO, READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE): Enables selecting pictures or audio from your device gallery and saving/restoring backup files. • Notifications & Alarms (POST_NOTIFICATIONS, SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM, RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED): Delivers user-scheduled daily journaling reminders locally.
5. Third-Party Services
Personal Diary integrates the following third-party provider:
• Google AdMob (Google Mobile Ads SDK): Used to display advertisements. Learn more about how Google handles data at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
6. User Data Control, Retention & Deletion
Because all journal content is stored on your device:
• You can edit or permanently delete any entry, photo, or audio recording at any time. • Clearing application storage or uninstalling Personal Diary permanently erases all journal records, preferences, and attachments from your hardware.
7. Children’s Privacy
Personal Diary is a general utility application not directed toward children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from children.
8. Security
All private diary entries reside within Android’s protected application sandbox. Optional biometric/PIN authentication prevents physical access, and offline backups utilize cryptographic encryption.
