TimeStory Privacy Policy, v1.4, March 19, 2024

App privacy

TimeStory works with document files on your device or on your personal cloud storage. What you put into those documents, and with whom you share them, is entirely up to you.

TimeStory runs entirely on your device and accesses only those documents you tell it to. It does not require Internet access, except as required to perform or validate App Store transactions.
TimeStory does not collect any information or statistics about how you use it.
TimeStory does not embed any personally identifying information into your documents which you do not explicitly put there.

The above statement applies to any current edition of TimeStory, either paid or free, on any supported platform.

Email and Web privacy

If you contact support@timestory.app to report bugs, provide feedback, make requests, or anything else, I will treat your messages as confidential unless you explicitly tell me otherwise, and I will not share your contact information with anyone unless required by law.

This website (https://timestory.app) does not collect any personally-identifying information, and does not use or participate in any user-tracking, click-tracking, advertising, or analytics software.

Updates to this policy

This page (https://timestory.app/privacy) will always contain the latest version of the TimeStory Privacy Policy. Any changes will be posted here with an updated version number and date, and a note will be added to the History section below.

History

(For information only; the below text is not part of the Privacy Policy.)

Version 1.4 (2024-03-19) removed explicit references to “Mac”, since there is a new version for the iPad being prepared for release. It also clarified that Internet access may sometimes be required for App Store access, to buy or validate licenses. It also removed the reference to (never-implemented) automatic update checks, since those are all via the App Store for now, and if that changes, we will need more specific text.
Version 1.3 (2022-09-26) removed the reference to Google Fonts. (This change was posted at the same time as an update to remove all usage of Google Fonts. Any fonts used on timestory.app are now served from timestory.app.)
Version 1.2 (2020-12-16) was purely an edit for clarity and style.
Version 1.1 (2020-01-02) contained edits for clarity and updates regarding cloud-based documents, automatic checks for updates (which were not implemented, but planned), ~~and the use of Google Fonts on this site~~.
Version 1.0 (2019-06-28) was the original version.
