Privacy Policy
The short version
- Your own diary is stored on your iPhone and in your own iCloud. It does not pass through our servers, so we cannot read it.
- You only need an account to share a diary or collection. A diary you share, and the photos, videos and voice notes in it, are stored on our servers so the other people can see them. Stop sharing and we delete our copy.
- There are no ads, no analytics SDKs and no tracking. We do not sell or share personal information.
- Purchases go through Apple. We never receive your payment details.

Who we are
Little Days is operated by Wermom Technologies Inc. (Toronto, Canada), 3417-5 Sheppard Ave E, Toronto, ON M2N 0G4, Canada. In this policy, "Little Days", "we" and "us" mean Wermom Technologies Inc., which is the data controller for the personal information described here. You can reach us through the support form.
On your iPhone and in your iCloud
Your private diary is what you write and add in the app: moments (text, photos, short videos and voice notes), the transcripts of voice notes, the time and place of a moment, feelings, markers, collections and your settings. It is kept in the app's storage on your iPhone.
iCloud
If iCloud is available, Little Days also keeps a copy of your private diary in your own iCloud account (Apple's CloudKit private database), so it comes back after a reinstall or on a new iPhone. That copy counts against your iCloud storage and is handled by Apple under your Apple Account. We cannot access it. If iCloud is off or full, the diary keeps working on your iPhone and the app tells you it is not backed up.
Widgets, Shortcuts and the Lock Screen
The widgets, Shortcuts actions and Lock Screen controls read a small snapshot of your diary that the app stores in a container on your iPhone shared only with the app and its extensions (an iOS App Group). Nothing in it leaves your iPhone.
Face ID
If you turn on the lock, Face ID or your passcode is checked by iOS on your iPhone. Little Days never receives your biometric data.
Device backups
Your diary may also be part of your iPhone backups (iCloud Backup or a backup to your computer), depending on your settings. Those backups are handled by Apple or by your computer under your control.
Permissions the app asks for
Each one is optional and asked for when you first use the feature. You can change them in iOS Settings at any time.
| Permission | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Camera | Taking photos and short videos for a moment. |
| Microphone and Speech Recognition | Recording voice notes and writing them down. Transcription uses Apple's speech recognition on your iPhone. |
| Photos | Adding photos and videos you pick from your library. You can give access to selected photos only. |
| Location | Attaching a place to a moment, from the photo's information or your current position. The coordinates are turned into a place name by Apple's Maps service, which receives them under Apple's Privacy Policy. We do not receive them from that request. |
| Notifications | Your daily reminder is scheduled on your iPhone. If you use a shared diary, we also send push notifications through Apple's push service (see "Shared diaries"). |
Account
You do not need an account to keep a private diary. If you want to share a diary or collection, or join one, you sign in with Apple. Where the app offers them, you can also sign in with Google or with a code sent to your email. We receive:
- a user identifier, and the email address from your sign-in (with Sign in with Apple this may be Apple's private relay address);
- the display name, handle and picture you choose, your ink colour and your home time zone;
- if you allow push notifications for shared diaries, your device's push token;
- your subscription status (see "Purchases").
This information is stored in a database run for us by Supabase. We use it to run your account, show you to the people you share with, and send the notifications you allow.
Purchases and subscriptions
Little Days Plus and Extended are sold through Apple's App Store. Apple processes the payment and handles your Apple Account, billing details and receipts under Apple's Privacy Policy. We do not receive your name or payment details.
To switch plan features on, the app sends your App Store purchase information and an anonymous app user ID to RevenueCat, a subscription service that tells us whether your subscription is active. RevenueCat does not receive your diary.
Diagnostics from Apple
If you turn on "Share with App Developers" in iOS Settings (Privacy & Security, then Analytics & Improvements), Apple may share crash reports and usage statistics with us. Apple controls this data and does not identify you to us.
Support messages
If you contact us through the support form, we receive:
| Information | Why |
|---|---|
| Email address | So we can reply to you. |
| Name (optional) | So we know what to call you. |
| Topic and message | So we can answer your question. |
| Date and time, and your browser's user agent | To help diagnose problems with the website or app. |
| Your IP address | To limit abuse of the form. We keep only a salted, one-way hash of it, and delete that hash after 24 hours. |
Messages are stored in a Cloudflare D1 database in North America. We use them only to answer you and to improve Little Days. We keep them for up to 12 months after we receive them, then delete them. You can ask us to delete them sooner.
The form is protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, which checks that a person, not a bot, is sending the message. To do that, Cloudflare processes technical signals from your browser and device, such as your IP address and browser characteristics, under the Turnstile Privacy Addendum. Cloudflare does not use this information for advertising. We do not add you to any mailing list.
This website
This website is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. To deliver and secure the site, Cloudflare processes technical information about each request, such as your IP address. The website sets no cookies of its own and uses no analytics, advertising or tracking scripts. The only third-party script is Cloudflare Turnstile, and it loads only on the support page.
Deleting your data
- Your private diary: delete a moment or the whole diary in the app. Deleting it also removes it from your iCloud copy once iCloud has synced. To remove everything Little Days keeps in iCloud, open iOS Settings, tap your name, then iCloud, and manage Little Days storage.
- Your account: delete it in the app's Settings. Shared diaries you own are deleted, your profile is anonymised (name, handle and picture removed) and your sign-in is deleted. Moments you wrote in other people's diaries stay there as "Deleted account" unless you delete them first.
- Backups: copies in your existing iPhone backups remain until those backups are replaced or deleted.
- Support messages: ask us through the support form and we will delete them.
- Subscriptions: deleting data or the app does not cancel a subscription. Cancel it in your Apple Account settings (see the Terms).
Your rights
Your private diary is on your device and in your iCloud, under your control. For information we hold, which means your account, shared diaries and support messages, you can ask us to access, correct, delete or export it, or object to how we use it. We answer within 30 days. We will not treat you differently for exercising these rights.
If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we handle account and shared-diary information because it is needed to provide the service you asked for, and support messages because we have a legitimate interest in answering them. You may also complain to your local data protection authority.
Children
You must be at least 13 to create an account. Little Days is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. Parents and guardians may keep a diary about their children as part of their own diary or a shared one; that content is the parent's and is handled as described above. If you believe a child under 13 has an account or has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page. If a change materially affects how we handle your information, we will also tell you in the app.
