Privacy Policy

This privacy policy governs your use of the software application AffirMe ("the App") for mobile devices that was created by Samuel Harrison. If you have any questions about this policy please contact us at affirme@samaitch.com

What information does the App obtain and how is it used?

Information you provide

The App does not provide an option to create an account therefore we do not store nor have access to any data you enter in the App. Your data is stored only locally on your device. You can optionally sync your data using Apple iCloud (iOS). Your synchronised data is stored in your private cloud space and we don’t have access to your synchronised data.

We obtain your email address when you request support or provide feedback via email. We use your email only to contact you to provide support, feedback or important information.

Data Sync

iOS iCloud Sync

iOS users can optionally sync their data using Apple iCloud Sync. Any data synchronised using Apple iCloud Sync is stored in your private iCloud Drive space and counts against their quota. iCloud secures your information by encrypting it when it's in transit, storing it in iCloud in an encrypted format, and using secure tokens for authentication. For certain sensitive information, Apple uses end-to-end encryption. This means that only you can access your information, and only on devices where you’re signed into iCloud. No one else, not even Apple, can access end-to-end encrypted information. You can find out more about iCloud security and privacy overview at https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303
