Privacy Policy

StoryLapse is built around one principle: your data is yours and yours alone. We do not collect, store, transmit, or have access to any of your personal data, photos, or content. Period.

1. No Personal Information

StoryLapse does not collect any personal information. There are no user accounts, no sign-ups, no email addresses, no names, no phone numbers. We do not know who you are, and we have no way to identify you.

2. Anonymous Usage Analytics

To learn which features people use, StoryLapse sends anonymous usage events to Blip, our own analytics service. These include the screens you open, actions such as creating a story or exporting a video, counts such as how many stories and photos you have, the app version, and a random ID made on your device when you install the app. Blip works out your approximate location (country and city) from the connection; your IP address itself is not stored. Events never include your photos, story names, or anything that identifies you, and they are not linked to you or used for advertising. We do not use advertising identifiers (IDFA) or track you across other apps or websites.

3. Local-Only Storage

All data created by StoryLapse, including your photos, stories, reminders, and settings, is stored exclusively on your device in the app's local storage. Nothing is uploaded to any server, cloud service, or external system. We have no servers that receive your data. There is no cloud sync, no backup service, and no data transmission of any kind.

4. No Third-Party Sharing

We do not share, sell, rent, or disclose any information to third parties. Purchases are handled by Apple, and RevenueCat checks your purchase status using an anonymous app user ID. Neither receives your photos.

5. Device Permissions

StoryLapse requests the following device permissions, all of which are used solely for the app's core functionality:

• Camera: Required to capture photos for your stories. Photos are saved directly to the app's local storage on your device.
• Photo Library: Required only when you choose to save an exported timelapse video to your camera roll. This is initiated by you and does not grant us access to your existing photos.
• Notifications: Optional. Used only for reminder notifications that you configure. Notification scheduling is handled entirely on-device.

6. Data Deletion

Since all data is stored locally on your device, you have full control over it at all times. Deleting a story permanently removes all associated photos and data from your device. Uninstalling the app removes all StoryLapse data. There is no data on our end to delete because we never had it.

7. Children's Privacy

StoryLapse does not collect personal information from anyone, including children. Because there are no accounts, no tracking, and no personal information collected, the app is safe for users of all ages.

8. Changes to This Policy

If we update this privacy policy, the changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Our commitment to collecting zero data will not change.
