Affinity Privacy Policy

Last Updated: February 2, 2026

Affinity ("we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use the Affinity mobile application (the "App").

Affinity is designed as a private self-reflection and journaling tool. Your personal data and experiences are meant to remain private and under your control.

1. Information We Collect

a) Information You Provide

When using Affinity, you may choose to provide:

  • Nickname or display name
  • Journal entries and reflections
  • Ratings, tags, and notes you log
  • Preferences and settings

This information is stored locally on your device unless cloud backup is enabled.

b) Automatically Collected Information

We may collect limited technical data such as:

  • Device type and OS version
  • App performance data
  • Crash reports

2. How We Use Information

We use data to:

  • Provide app functionality
  • Improve user experience
  • Fix bugs and crashes
  • Enhance app performance

We do not use your data for advertising or profiling.

3. Data Storage

Affinity is privacy-first:

  • Your entries are stored locally on your device by default
  • We do not read your journal content
  • We do not sell or share personal data

If cloud backup is added later, it will be encrypted, optional, and user-controlled.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal data.

We only share data:

  • When required by law
  • To protect legal rights
  • With trusted service providers for app functionality (e.g., analytics, crash reporting)

Third-Party SDKs

We are using a third-party framework to export and share your journal entries via standard sharing options on your device.

5. Security

We implement safeguards including:

  • Device-level encryption
  • Secure storage practices
  • Optional passcode/biometric locks

No system is 100% secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your data.

6. Your Rights & Controls

You can:

  • Delete your entries anytime
  • Clear all app data

7. Children’s Privacy

Affinity is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy occasionally. Updates will be reflected by a new "Last Updated" date.
