Privacy Policy

Introduction

Waywords is a journaling application designed to provide a calm, distraction-free space for personal reflection. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

• Account information: your email address and authentication details when you create an account or sign in with a third-party provider such as Google, Facebook, or Apple.
• Journal entries: the content you write within the app, along with the date and selected writing environment. These entries are private to your account.
• Usage data: limited analytics about how you interact with the app, used to improve the experience.

How We Use Your Information

• To provide and maintain the journaling service, including saving and displaying your entries.
• To authenticate you and keep your account secure.
• To improve the app's features, design, and performance.
• To respond to your requests and provide support.

Data Privacy and Security

Your journal entries are private and visible only to you. We do not share, sell, or analyze the content of your entries for advertising or third-party purposes. We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Third-Party Services

We use third-party authentication providers (Google, Facebook, Apple) and hosting infrastructure. These providers have their own privacy policies governing how they handle your data. We do not share your journal content with these providers beyond what is necessary for authentication and service operation.

Your Rights

You may access, correct, or delete your account and journal entries at any time within the app. You may also request data export or account deletion by contacting us. If you delete your account, your journal entries will be permanently removed.

Non-Performance Tracking

Waywords is intentionally non-performative. We do not track writing streaks, word-count goals, or productivity metrics. Your experience is your own.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the updated policy within the app. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
