Privacy policy and terms
Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-10-24. EmoJournal is made by Andygile. This page says what the app keeps on your iPhone and what leaves it.
Summary
Your diary and its pictures stay on your iPhone. To paint a picture, the app sends a short text brief to Stability AI's image service. The brief is built from the feelings you picked; your diary text is never part of it. There is no account, no analytics and no advertising.
What stays on your iPhone
- Diary entries — the text you write and the feelings you picked.
- Pictures painted for your entries.
- The time of your last entry, used to open a new entry every 16 hours.
What leaves your iPhone
- The picture brief, to Stability AI. A few words describing an art style, a place and a mood, plus image settings, are sent to Stability AI, which returns the painted image. The request is made with Andygile's key, so it does not carry your name or any account. Like any internet request, it reaches Stability AI from your device's IP address. Stability AI handles it under its own privacy policy.
- A time check, to apple.com. Before a new entry, the app reads the current time from Apple's web server so the 16-hour interval cannot be skipped by changing the clock. Nothing about you is sent.
- An update check, to the App Store. The app asks the App Store for its own latest version number so it can tell you when an update is out.
What the app never sends
- Your diary text.
- Your name, email address, location, photos or contacts.
Deleting your data
Deleting an entry deletes its picture. Deleting the app deletes everything. If you back up your iPhone with iCloud or a computer, your entries are part of that backup, which Apple or your computer keeps under your control.
Children
EmoJournal is not directed at children, and Andygile does not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version is posted on this page with a new date. A change that sends anything new off your iPhone, including sign-in if it is ever added, will be explained in the app before it happens.

3. The service is provided “as is”, without warranty of any kind. Andygile is not liable for loss of entries; keep a backup of your iPhone if your diary matters to you.
4. Matters not covered by these terms follow Andygile's internal policies and the laws of the Republic of Korea.
5. These terms may change. Changes are posted on this page with a new date; if you do not agree with a change, contact andy@andygile.com within 7 days of the posting.
