your thoughts, safely preserved
At Shaly, we believe your personal thoughts and emotions deserve the utmost protection. This privacy policy explains how we safeguard your information.
The core principle of Shaly's privacy approach is simplicity: all your data stays on your device. Unlike many applications that store your information on remote servers, Shaly stores every letter, message, and setting locally on your iOS device.
This means your personal thoughts never leave your device unless you specifically choose to share them with another person through the app's intended functionality. Even then, messages are transferred directly between devices when possible, without passing through intermediate servers.
Shaly does not require any form of account creation or login. We do not collect, store, or process any personal identification information such as your name, email address, phone number, or any other data that could be used to identify you.
We do not track your usage of the app, do not collect analytics data about your behavior, and do not monitor the content of the letters you write. There are no advertisements in Shaly, so we have no need to gather information for targeted advertising purposes.
The only data stored by Shaly on your device consists of:
All this information remains exclusively on your device and is never transmitted to our servers or any third parties unless explicitly initiated by you.
When you choose to send a letter to another person through Shaly, the app will facilitate transferring your message to their device using standard iOS communication protocols. This transfer happens directly between devices when possible.
Once a message is successfully delivered to another person's device, we have no control over that data. The recipient's device will store the message according to their local storage settings.
You have complete control over all data stored by Shaly on your device. You can edit, delete, or export any letter at any time through the app's interface.
Uninstalling Shaly from your device will remove all data associated with the app, unless you have specifically backed it up using iOS backup mechanisms. We recommend exporting any important letters before uninstalling the app.
Shaly leverages the built-in security features of iOS to protect your data. This includes benefit from the device's encryption capabilities when the device is locked.
For maximum security, we recommend keeping your iOS device updated with the latest software and using a secure passcode or biometric authentication to protect access to your device.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our app. Any significant changes will be prominently displayed within the app before they take effect. Your continued use of Shaly after such changes will constitute your acceptance of the revised policy.
