Privacy Policy

Overview

Decision Journal: Logbook is designed to help you record choices, reasons, confidence, review dates, and later reflections. The app is local-first and does not require an account.

Information You Enter

Decision Journal: Logbook lets you enter decision titles, categories, what you chose, why you chose it, confidence levels, review dates, optional outcomes, reflections, and optional tags for premium users.

This information is stored locally on your device.

Accounts and Sync

Decision Journal: Logbook does not require an account, sign-in, cloud sync, or registration.

Customer-owned Encrypted Recovery on iPhone and iPad

Free backup and restore encrypts a copy of your decisions, tags, reviews, and follow-up dates on your device using your chosen backup password. You select the destination or existing backup through Apple's Files interface. A selected storage provider may process and retain the file under its own terms. SHG does not upload the journal to an SHG backup server, retain your backup password, or provide automatic sync. We cannot recover a forgotten backup password.

Restore validates the file and lets you review its entry count before explicitly replacing the current journal; it does not merge journals. Technical file-size and record limits apply. Keep a separate accessible backup before replacement. Recovery files exclude purchases and Apple purchase credentials; Restore purchases is separate. Export completion does not confirm cloud upload or off-device availability. These features describe the current iPhone and iPad app, not Android interoperability.

Readable Analysis Exports

If you use export features, you choose where to save or share the exported file. Premium CSV/JSON analysis exports are readable, not the encrypted recovery format. Take care when sharing exported decision history.

Support Email

If you email Sykes Holding Group for support, we receive the information you choose to include, such as your email address, device details, app version, and description of your request. Do not send sensitive journal entries unless support specifically asks for a redacted example.

Purchases

Premium purchases are processed by the app store where you downloaded Decision Journal: Logbook, such as Apple through StoreKit or Google Play through Google Play Billing. The app may receive purchase status information needed to unlock paid features. Decision Journal entries are not sent to a purchase service.

Analytics, Advertising, and Tracking

The app does not include third-party analytics, advertising SDKs, or cross-app tracking.

Public App Directory and Platform Services

The More tab may load SHG's public app directory over HTTPS. Journal entries are not sent in that request. Hosting and network providers may process standard network metadata such as IP address and user agent. Apple may process platform diagnostics according to its policies and your device settings; this is separate from journal content and does not mean that SHG operates a journal analytics backend. The current app does not send journal entries to an AI service.

Data Retention and Deletion

Decision Journal: Logbook stores app data locally on your device in the current version. Local app data remains on your device until you edit it, delete it, reset the relevant app content, or delete the app from your device. Exporting a copy does not delete the original journal. Copies saved or shared outside the app remain under your and the selected provider's control and are not deleted by removing the app. SHG does not operate a server-side journal account to delete.

Depending on your device backup settings, device-local app data may be included in Apple- or Google-managed device backups. Sykes Holding Group does not control platform-managed backups. You can manage device backups through your device settings.

Support emails are retained as needed to respond to your request, maintain support records, and meet applicable legal or business requirements.

Children's Privacy

Decision Journal: Logbook is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will update the effective date on this page.
