Privacy Policy
Last Updated: November 3, 2025
Our Core Privacy Promise: Secure Space is built with privacy as its foundation. We do not collect, store, or analyze your data. Your journal entries, assessments, and insights stay entirely on your device.
1. Information We Don't Collect
Unlike most apps, Secure Space is designed to collect as little information as possible:
- No Personal Information: We don't collect your name, email, phone number, or any identifying information.
- No Journal Content: Your journal entries, thoughts, and reflections are never transmitted to our servers.
- No Behavioral Data: We don't track how you use the app, what features you access, or when you use them.
- No Location Data: We don't collect or access your location information.
- No Analytics: We don't use third-party analytics tools that track your activity.
2. How Your Data is Stored
On Your Device
All your data is stored locally on your iPhone or iPad using Apple's secure Core Data framework. This includes:
- Journal entries and reflections
- Attachment style and sensitivity assessments
- Secure Score history and progress
- First-Aid card completions
- Communication templates you create
- Weekly integration reports
Optional iCloud Sync
If you choose to enable iCloud sync (optional), your data is synced across your Apple devices using end-to-end encryption through Apple's iCloud service. Key points:
- Data is encrypted and only accessible to you
- We have no access to your iCloud data
- Syncing follows Apple's privacy standards
- You can disable iCloud sync at any time in Settings
3. What We Do Collect (Minimal Technical Data)
To provide basic functionality and crash prevention, we collect minimal technical information:
- Crash Reports: Anonymous crash logs to help us fix bugs (no personal content included)
- App Version: To ensure compatibility with updates
- Device Model: To optimize performance for your device
This technical data is anonymous and cannot be linked back to you personally.
4. Third-Party Services
Secure Space does not integrate with any third-party services, including:
- No advertising networks
- No analytics platforms
- No AI services or cloud processing
- No social media integration
- No data brokers or marketing services
5. AI and Machine Learning
Secure Space uses on-device algorithms to:
- Calculate your secure scores
- Detect behavioral patterns
- Generate personalized insights
- Suggest First-Aid cards
Important: All processing happens locally on your device. Your data is never sent to external AI services or used to train machine learning models.
6. Data Sharing
We do not share, sell, or rent your data to anyone. Period. The only way your data leaves your device is:
- When you explicitly choose to export data (e.g., PDF reports)
- When you enable optional iCloud sync to your other Apple devices
7. Your Control and Rights
You have complete control over your data:
- Access: View all your data within the app at any time
- Export: Export your data as PDF or JSON files
- Delete: Delete individual entries or all your data permanently
- Opt-Out: Disable iCloud sync or crash reporting in Settings
8. Data Retention
Your data remains on your device until you choose to delete it. When you delete data:
- It's permanently removed from your device
- If iCloud sync is enabled, it's removed from iCloud
- There are no backups on our servers (because we don't have servers)
9. Children's Privacy
Secure Space is designed for users aged 17 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from users under 17. If you believe a child has used the app, please contact us, though we have no way to identify individual users.
10. Security
We implement security measures to protect your data:
- All data is encrypted on your device
- Optional Face ID/Touch ID app lock
- Secure coding practices following Apple's guidelines
- Regular security audits of our codebase
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. When we do:
