The Daily Me Privacy Policy
Updated 5 November 2026
The Daily Me is an iOS journaling app made by QUANTYX (PTY) LTD. This policy describes the iOS app as it is built and shipped.
Who is responsible
QUANTYX (PTY) LTD, registration number 2025/964679/07, registered office 3 Bradford Rd, Germiston, Gauteng, 2007 ("Quantyx"), is the responsible party under the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA) for the personal information described on this page. Information Officer: Vuyo Nkadimeng, director. Contact: vuyo@quantyx.co.za.
Why we may process it: we process personal information to answer your messages, run our apps for you, meet legal duties and run our business (the lawful grounds that apply are to be confirmed by our attorney). Supplying information to us is voluntary, but without some of it a feature or reply cannot work.
The short version
There is no Quantyx account and no Quantyx server that receives your writing. Your journal lives on your device. If you turn on iCloud sync, or use Couples sharing, your writing is also stored in iCloud, which Apple operates. We have no analytics and no advertising.
What the app holds
- Your journal entries and the settings you choose, stored on your device.
- Voice dictation: the microphone is used when you dictate. Transcription runs on your device with WhisperKit, an open-source library bundled in the app (it is third-party code, and it does not send audio anywhere).
- Writing features such as reflections run on your device with Apple's on-device models.
- Face ID, if you use it to lock the app, is handled by iOS. We never receive biometric data.
iCloud sync (optional, off by default)
If you switch on iCloud sync, your journal is stored in your private iCloud database (container iCloud.com.zimasilevuyo.thedailyme). Apple operates iCloud and may store data in the United States and other countries. iCloud private storage is designed so that Quantyx cannot read it. Because sync uses Apple's notification service, the app registers for remote notifications when sync is on.
Couples sharing
If you use Couples, the letters you write to your partner are shared with that partner through iCloud sharing (CloudKit). Your partner receives your text, and you receive theirs. Only share with a person who has agreed, and write only what you are comfortable with them keeping. Quantyx does not receive it.
Transfers outside South Africa
POPIA section 72 lets information leave South Africa only if the recipient must protect it to a similar standard or you agree. Here is what leaves your device:
| Recipient | What it receives | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Apple (iCloud / CloudKit) | Your journal and Couples letters, only if you turn on sync or Couples | United States and other Apple regions |
How long we keep it
We keep nothing about you on Quantyx systems. On your device, the journal stays until you delete it or the app. Data in your iCloud stays until you delete it there. Support emails you send us: 24 months (proposed, pending attorney confirmation).
Children
This app has no age check and is not designed for children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your rights and complaints
Under POPIA you may ask whether we hold personal information about you, ask for a copy, ask us to correct or delete it, and object to how we use it. Email vuyo@quantyx.co.za and we will respond. If you are not satisfied, you may complain to the Information Regulator (South Africa). Complain through the Regulator's complaints page at inforegulator.org.za/complaints. PAIA complaints go on Form 5 to PAIAComplaints@inforegulator.org.za.
If we learn of a breach of your personal information we will notify the Information Regulator and you as POPIA section 22 requires. Report a suspected incident to vuyo@quantyx.co.za.
