The Android build of This is My Life is a separate, independently-built app with its own storage and its own platform integrations, and it has its own privacy policy. Nothing you enter in one is sent to or synced with the other, except when you explicitly export your story and import it yourself.
Our approach
This is My Life is built to be private by design. Your life story — your profile, moments, photos, videos, locations, categories, and family members — is stored on your device and, if you enable it, synced to your own private iCloud account. We do not operate servers that collect or store your personal content, and we cannot access it.
Information we process
Content you create — profile details, moments, photos and videos, locations, categories, and family members — stays on your device and in your private iCloud (if enabled). It never reaches us.
For Sign in with Apple, we receive an anonymous identifier and, only on your first sign-in, the name and email address you choose to share. This is used solely for sign-in and app personalization.
Purchases made through Apple's App Store are processed by Apple. We neither receive nor store your payment details.
How your data is stored
Your story is held in local app storage on your device. If iCloud is turned on, it also syncs through Apple's iCloud using your Apple ID, governed by Apple's own privacy policy. We have no access to your iCloud data.
Permissions we request
The app requests permissions only when needed:
- Photos — to add photos and videos to moments.
- Camera — to capture new photos.
- Contacts — to import family member details (only the details you select are copied locally).
- Location — to tag moment locations.
- Face ID / Touch ID — for optional app locking, handled entirely by your device; we never receive biometric data.
You can change or revoke any of these permissions at any time in iOS Settings.
What we do not do
We do not sell your data. We do not use third-party advertising. We do not use third-party analytics or tracking SDKs, and we do not track you across other apps or websites. We do not share your content with anyone.
Third-party services
We rely on Apple for Sign in with Apple, iCloud sync, and App Store purchases, each governed by Apple's own Privacy Policy. No other third-party service receives your personal content.
Data retention and deletion
You control your content:
- Edit or delete moments, photos, profiles, or family members within the app at any time.
- Export a full copy of your story from Settings.
- Delete your entire story and profile from Settings.
- Removing the app deletes its local copies on your device; iCloud data is managed through your Apple ID.
Children's privacy
This is My Life is intended for general audiences and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Content stays on the user's device and iCloud, never reaching us.
Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data. Because your content is stored on your own device (and, for the iOS app, your own iCloud) — not on our servers — you can exercise these rights directly within whichever app you use, at any time.

Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time, revising the effective date above and noting material changes within the relevant app as appropriate.
