The Trajectory Method (“the app,” “we”) is a private daily journal. Privacy isn't a compliance section for us — it's the product. People don't write honestly in a journal they don't trust. So this policy is short, in plain English, and true.
Everything you write stays on your device. We don't collect it, transmit it, sell it, or see it.
None of this leaves your phone. There is no Trajectory server. We have no database of users. If you've written your deepest fears into the app, we couldn't read them if we wanted to — and we don't want to.
Biometric unlock (fingerprint / face) — handled entirely by your device's operating system. The app only receives a yes/no answer; it never sees, stores, or has access to your biometric data.
Notifications — the daily reminder is a local notification scheduled on your device. Nothing is sent over the internet. You can turn it off in Settings, and the app works fully without notification permission.
Subscriptions are processed by Google Play Billing. Google handles the payment; we never see your card number or billing details. Google's own privacy policy governs that transaction. The app stores only your entitlement status (subscribed or not) on your device.
Your data is yours to destroy: uninstall the app, or clear the app's storage in your device settings, and everything is gone — permanently. Because we keep no copies, there is nothing for us to delete on a server, and no way for us (or anyone) to recover it. Back up before you uninstall if you want to keep your journal.
The Trajectory Method is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone (of any age — see above).
If we ever add optional accounts and sync (planned as an opt-in feature), this policy will change before that feature ships, the in-app policy link will be updated, and sync will be off unless you turn it on. Local-first will remain the default.

Summary for humans: it's your journal. It lives on your phone. We can't read it.
