KnotVoice Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 20, 2026

KnotVoice (“we”, “our”, or “the app”) is a voice-first daily journal that stores your knots on your device. This policy explains what information the app uses, how it is stored, and the choices you have.

1. Summary

• No account or sign-in is required.
• Voice recordings, optional photos, and captions stay on your iPhone or iPad unless you export them yourself.
• We do not operate a cloud backup or social feed for your knots.
• Optional in-app purchases add virtual Twine to unlock older days, re-knot yesterday, or export a rope book.

2. Information stored on your device

When you use KnotVoice, the app may store locally:

• Voice knots — audio files, duration, and the calendar day they belong to.
• Optional photo tags — images you attach from the camera or photo library.
• Optional captions — short text (up to 60 characters) per knot.
• App preferences — onboarding state, Twine balance, unlocked timeline segments, export trial usage, and similar settings in on-device storage.
• Sample knots — a small set of demonstration knots may be created on first launch to show how the rope timeline works. Sample knots are read-only and are not uploaded.

Deleting the app removes this on-device data unless you have exported copies elsewhere.

3. Device permissions

• Microphone — to record daily voice knots.
• Camera — to attach an optional photo to a knot.
• Photo Library — to import an optional photo for a knot.

You can change these permissions anytime in iOS Settings.

4. App Tracking Transparency (IDFA)

On supported iOS versions, KnotVoice may ask for permission to track your activity across other companies’ apps and websites using Apple’s App Tracking Transparency prompt.

• If you allow tracking, the app may access your device’s advertising identifier (IDFA) for ad measurement and to support features funded by advertising.
• If you deny tracking, KnotVoice still works; you will not be required to enable tracking to record knots or use core features.
• You can change your choice later in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.

We do not sell your voice recordings or knot content for advertising.

5. In-app purchases

Twine is a consumable in-app currency processed by Apple. Purchase history is handled by Apple’s App Store; we do not receive your payment card details. Twine balances are stored on your device and are not restorable after reinstall, as described in the App Store terms for consumable products.

6. Exports you create

When you export a rope book (PDF or ZIP), files are written to locations you choose through the system share sheet or Files app. You control where those exports are sent or stored.

7. What we do not collect centrally

We do not operate a KnotVoice account database, location tracking, contacts access, or a public social timeline. The app is designed to work offline on your device for everyday use.

8. Children

KnotVoice is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information through the app, contact us using the details below.

9. Security

Your knots inherit the security of your device (passcode, Face ID, device encryption). Please keep your device updated and avoid sharing exports you consider sensitive.

10. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date above will change when we do. Continued use of the app after an update means you accept the revised policy.
