Privacy Policy
Effective 18 June 2026
The Daily Me is a private journaling app, made by Quantyx, that you keep as your own newspaper. You file the stories of your life — Op-Eds, Letters, Editorials, Obituaries and Breaking news — and read them back on a front page typeset like a real broadsheet. We designed it to collect as little as possible, which in practice means we collect nothing about you at all.
The short version
There is no account and no sign-up. There are no Quantyx servers. Everything you write stays on your device. We have no analytics, no advertising, no trackers and no third-party software development kits. On Android, the app has no internet permission at all — so it physically cannot send your writing anywhere, even if it wanted to.
What The Daily Me stores, and where
Every story you file, along with your masthead, byline, press run, editor rank, saved prompts and settings, is stored locally on your device only. On Android, your whole paper is written to a single private file inside the app's own sandbox storage, and that file never leaves the phone. That is the strongest privacy promise an app can make: there is nothing to collect and no way to transmit it.
No internet permission
The Android edition of The Daily Me does not request the internet permission. With no internet permission, the app has no ability to make a network connection — it cannot upload, sync, back up or transmit your stories to Quantyx or to anyone else. There is simply no path off the device.
What we do not do
We do not run a backend, so your content is never uploaded to us. We do not collect analytics or usage statistics. We do not use advertising or marketing trackers. We do not embed third-party SDKs. We do not sell, rent or share data, because we never receive any.
Device permissions
The Android build declares only a microphone permission, reserved for a future on-device dictation feature. In this version that feature is not wired up — the app never records audio and never inserts transcribed text — so the microphone is not used. You can review or revoke the permission at any time in the Android Settings app. If a later version turns dictation on, any transcription would happen on your device and this policy would be updated to say so.
Sharing a clipping
If you choose to share a story, The Daily Me renders that one clipping as a card and hands it to Android's standard share sheet, under your control. You decide where it goes. Nothing is shared automatically and nothing is sent to Quantyx.
Children
The Daily Me does not collect personal information from anyone, including children. Because there is no account and no data leaves the device for Quantyx to receive, the app does not gather information about users of any age. It is a reflective journaling product intended for teens and adults, not directed at children.
Deleting your data
You are always in control. You can clear your paper from inside the app, and deleting the app from your device removes its local file entirely. There is no server-side copy to request the deletion of, because none ever existed.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we will update this page and revise the effective date above. Because the app collects nothing, any change will be to clarify wording rather than to expand data collection.
