Privacy Policy

Sacred Time ("the app") is published by the team at sacredtime.life. This policy explains what data the app handles and where it goes. The short version: your data never leaves your device.

Data we collect

We collect no data. Sacred Time has no user accounts, no analytics, no advertising, and no remote servers. The app makes no network requests during normal use.

Data stored on your device

The following data is created by you and stored only on your device:

• Journal entries, gratitude notes, to-do lists, and moods — stored in an encrypted database (SQLCipher, AES-256). The encryption key is stored in your device's secure hardware keystore (Android Keystore / iOS Keychain).
• Game statistics (memory game and sudoku scores) — stored in a local database.
• Settings (language, notification and audio preferences) — stored in local app preferences.
• App usage statistics (screen-time feature, Android only) — if you grant the Usage Access permission, the app reads daily app-usage durations from Android and stores a local copy so it can show you weekly screen-time reports. This data is never transmitted anywhere.

Device backups of the app's data are disabled, so this data is not uploaded to cloud backup services.

Permissions the app requests

• Microphone / speech recognition — used only while you actively dictate a journal entry. Voice is processed by your device's built-in speech recognition service; the app itself records nothing and stores only the resulting text in your encrypted journal.
• Usage access (Android, optional) — used only for the screen-time feature, as described above. The app works fully without it.
• Notifications (optional) — used to show local daily reminders. No notification data leaves your device.

Data sharing

We do not share, sell, or transmit any data, because we never receive any. The "Share" feature in settings opens your device's share sheet with a generic message about the app; it shares nothing about you or your journal.

Data deletion

Uninstalling the app permanently deletes all locally stored data, including the encrypted journal database and its encryption key.

Children's privacy

The app does not collect data from anyone, including children.

Changes to this policy

If a future version of the app changes how data is handled, this policy will be updated at sacredtime.life/privacy and the change will be noted in the app's release notes.
