Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 2025
Your privacy matters to us. Little Joys is designed with privacy at its core. We believe your personal moments should remain personal.
The Short Version
Little Joys stores all your data locally on your device. We don't collect, transmit, or have access to your notes, photos, or personal information. Your gratitude moments are yours alone.
Information We Don't Collect
Little Joys does not collect:
- Your notes or journal entries
- Your photos or images
- Your name, email, or contact information
- Your location data
- Device identifiers for tracking purposes
- Usage analytics or behavioral data
Local Data Storage
All your content is stored exclusively on your device using Apple's secure data storage mechanisms. This includes:
- Notes and entries: Stored locally in your device's app container
- Photos: Stored locally within the app's secure storage
- Settings and preferences: Stored locally on your device
This data is protected by your device's security features, including Face ID, Touch ID, or passcode protection.
iCloud Sync (Optional)
If you choose to enable iCloud sync through your device settings, your data may be synced across your Apple devices using Apple's iCloud service. This sync is:
- Controlled entirely by you through your device settings
- Encrypted by Apple's iCloud security measures
- Not accessible to us in any way
We have no access to your iCloud account or any data synced through it.
In-App Purchases
Little Joys offers optional premium features through Apple's App Store. When you make a purchase:
- The transaction is handled entirely by Apple
- We do not receive your payment information
- We only receive anonymous confirmation of the purchase from Apple
Notifications
If you enable notifications, they are:
- Scheduled and delivered locally on your device
- Not sent through any external servers
- Completely under your control through iOS settings
Third-Party Services
Little Joys does not integrate with third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services. The only external service interaction is with Apple's App Store for processing in-app purchases.
Data Export and Deletion
Since all data is stored locally on your device:
- Deleting the app will permanently delete all your notes, photos, and settings
- Device backups through iTunes or iCloud may include app data, subject to your backup settings
We recommend exporting or backing up any content you wish to keep before uninstalling the app.
Children's Privacy
Little Joys does not knowingly collect any information from children. Since we don't collect any personal information from any users, the app is safe for users of all ages.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.

Your Rights
Because we don't collect your personal data, traditional data rights requests (access, correction, deletion) don't apply in the usual sense. However, you have complete control over your data:
- You can view all your data within the app at any time
- You can edit or delete any note at any time
- You can delete all data by uninstalling the app
Thank you for trusting Little Joys with your moments of gratitude. We're honored to be part of your journey.
