Privacy Policy
Last updated 9 August 2026
Sinneblick is a private journal. It was built so that there would be almost nothing for this page to disclose.
- Your selfies, moods, notes and categories never leave your iPhone.
- There is no account, no sign-in, no profile, no advertising and no tracking.
- The only thing that can ever be sent anywhere is an anonymous crash report, and you can switch it off.
Who is responsible
Sinneblick is made by Martin Blodau, a sole trader registered in Sweden. For anything on this page, write to support@sinneblick.com.
What stays on your device
Everything you create lives in the app's private storage on your iPhone:
- your selfies
- your mood check-ins
- your notes
- the categories you pick
- your reminders, app lock preference and every other setting
None of it is uploaded, because there is nowhere to upload it to. The app has no backend and makes no network requests of its own.
Two ordinary exceptions are worth naming, because they are your choices rather than ours. If you use iCloud Backup or an encrypted computer backup, your iPhone includes this app's data in that backup; that is Apple's service under Apple's terms. And when you export a backup from Settings, the archive goes wherever you save it (Files, iCloud Drive, another app). That archive holds your selfies and entries in readable form, so keep it somewhere you trust.
What can leave your device
Crash reports (optional, on by default)
If the app crashes, it can send a report so the bug can be found and fixed. Reports are processed by Sentry, a crash reporting service, acting on our instructions.
A report contains: the error and its stack trace, the app version, the iOS version and the device model.
A report never contains: selfies, notes, mood values, categories, file paths or filenames. Paths, image filenames and note text are stripped by a scrubber inside the app before anything is sent, and that scrubber is covered by automated tests. Screenshots, screen recordings and view snapshots are disabled outright, since on this app they would capture your face.
No identifiers, and no IP address. The app never creates a user ID, and it explicitly tells Sentry not to record the network address a report arrives from. A crash report therefore cannot be traced back to you or to your device, which also means it is not personal data and there is no profile of you to request or erase.
You can turn this off at any time under Settings, Privacy, Share anonymous crash reports. Turning it off takes effect immediately.
Purchases
Sinneblick Plus is a one-time purchase handled entirely by Apple. We never see your payment details, your Apple Account or your name. The app stores nothing but a yes or no on your device recording that Plus is unlocked. Restoring a purchase asks Apple, not us.
Permissions the app asks for
- Camera. To take your daily selfie. The camera is live only on the capture screen.
- Photo library, add only. Used when you save a timelapse to your library. The app cannot read or browse your photos.
- Face ID or Touch ID. If you turn on app lock, iOS performs the check and tells the app yes or no. Biometric data never reaches the app.
- Notifications. Reminders are scheduled locally by iOS on your device. No server is involved and no push tokens exist.
Children
Sinneblick is not directed at children under 13, and it collects no personal data from anyone of any age.
Your rights, and why they are easy here
Because your entries never reach us, there is nothing on our side to look up, correct, export or delete. Control sits with you:
- delete a single entry from that entry's screen
- export everything as an archive from Settings
- delete all data from Settings
- delete the app, which removes everything it stored
If you are in the EU or the UK and want to exercise a data protection right anyway, write to support@sinneblick.com and we will help, though the honest answer will usually be that we hold nothing about you.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes in a way that matters, the date at the top changes and the app's release notes say so. Past versions are available on request.
