Lovelock
Lovelock privacy policy
Lovelock ("the app") is a private diary app for Android made by Digcy (DIGCY SARL AU, Casablanca, Morocco; "we"). This policy explains what data the app uses and why. Contact: hello@digcy.com.
Your diary stays on your phone
Everything you write in Lovelock (titles, text, moods, tags, stickers, photos you add, voice notes you record) and your settings are saved only on your phone, inside the app's private storage. We have no server for diary data and never receive, read or store it. There is no account: we never ask for your name, email or phone number.
Android's cloud backup is turned off for Lovelock, so your pages are not copied to Google Drive. Uninstalling the app or clearing its storage deletes everything. To move your diary to a new phone, use Settings → Backup file; the file is saved where you choose and is yours to keep safe.
PIN, fingerprint and secret pages
Your PIN is stored on your phone only as a salted SHA-256 hash, never as the PIN itself. The same goes for the answer to your recovery question. Fingerprint or face unlock uses Android's own biometric prompt: the app only learns "unlocked" or "not unlocked" and never sees your fingerprint or face data.
Photos, microphone and notifications
- Photos: only the photos you pick with Android's photo picker are copied into the diary page. The app does not browse your gallery.
- Microphone: used only while you record a voice note. Recordings stay in the app on your phone.
- Notifications: only if you turn on the daily reminder. The reminder text never contains anything from your diary.
Ads (Google AdMob)
The free version shows ads through Google AdMob (Google LLC): a banner under the app, a full-screen ad now and then when you start a new page, and optional rewarded videos you choose to watch to try a paper or sticker pack free for 24 hours. To show, measure and limit ads and to prevent fraud, Google and its ad partners may collect your device's advertising ID and other device identifiers, your IP address and approximate location, device and app information, how you interact with the app and with ads, and diagnostics such as crash and performance data. Ads never receive anything you write in your diary.
In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland the app first shows Google's consent form; you can change your choice any time in Settings → Ad privacy choices. Everywhere you can reset or delete your advertising ID in your phone's settings. Lovelock Plus or Remove ads turns off the banner and full-screen ads. How Google uses data from apps that use its services: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Purchases (Google Play)
Lovelock Plus, the Paper & font pack, the Sticker packs and Remove ads are one-time purchases through Google Play Billing. Google handles the payment; we never see your card or payment details. Google tells the app what you own so it can unlock it and restore it (Settings → Restore purchases). Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.
Ratings
Now and then the app may show Google Play's in-app rating card. Google decides whether it appears, and we never learn whether or how you rated.
What we don't do
We don't sell your data, we don't read your diary, and we don't use any data for anything other than what is described here. The app asks for internet (ads and purchases), network state, vibration, fingerprint/face unlock, the microphone (voice notes only), notifications (reminder only) and permission to restart the reminder after your phone reboots. It does not ask for your location, contacts or files.
