Privacy policy

The short version

Private by design.

Tarot Logbook does not require a developer-operated account and does not send your journal to a developer-operated server. The app does not include advertising SDKs or third-party analytics.

Journal data and iCloud

Your readings, reflections, follow-ups, favorite and archive choices, saved spreads, deck names, deck types, theme choices and related journal settings are stored on your device.

When iCloud is available for the app, journal data may sync through your private iCloud account so it can appear on your Apple devices. Apple operates iCloud and handles that service under its own privacy policy. Tarot Logbook does not receive access to your iCloud account or a separate copy of your journal.

Photos, card artwork and deck backs

Photos and camera access are only used when you choose an image for a reading, a card, or a deck back. Personal card artwork and deck backs are stored with the app's journal data and may be included in iCloud sync and backups.

Rider-Waite-Smith card artwork is bundled with Tarot Logbook and is available without fetching card images from an external service.

Tarot Logbook does not scan your photo library in the background. You choose the images that the app can access through Apple's photo picker or camera interface.

Backups, reports and image exports

Tarot Logbook only creates a backup, Markdown report or reading image when you ask it to. Backup files may contain your readings and private images, so store and share them carefully.

When you use the system share sheet, the service or app you choose receives the exported file. Its handling of that file is governed by its own privacy practices.

Importing a backup reads the file you select. Choosing Replace from Backup can replace the journal currently stored in the app.

Premium purchases

Tarot Logbook Premium is a one-time in-app purchase processed by Apple through the App Store. The developer does not receive your full payment details. Purchase status and restoration are handled through Apple's StoreKit services.

Support email

If you email for support, the information you include in that message is sent through your email provider. Only include reading details or screenshots when you are comfortable sharing them. Support messages are used to answer your request and improve the app.

Your control

You can edit or delete individual readings inside the app. You can also use More → Clear All Data to remove the journal from the app. If iCloud sync is active, deletions may sync to your other devices. Backup files that you saved elsewhere remain separate and must be deleted from those locations by you.

You can turn off iCloud access for the app in Apple system settings. The exact path can vary by operating system version.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated when the app's behavior or features change. The latest version will remain available on this page with its revision date.
