The short version: Mur is designed to be completely private. All your journal entries are stored locally on your device — we never see them. There is no account, no sign-up, and no cloud sync. We collect anonymised analytics via PostHog to improve the app. We do not sell your data to third parties.

1. Who We Are

Mur is developed and published by Jamie Newman ("we", "us", "our"). If you have any questions about this policy, contact us at contact@jamie-newman.com.

2. Information We Collect

Mur is a local-first app with no account system. The information we interact with is minimal:

3. How We Use Your Data

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

4. Data Stored on Your Device

Mur stores the following information locally on your device using MMKV (a high-performance key-value store):

None of this data ever leaves your device. There is no cloud sync, no backend server, and no remote database.

5. Third-Party Services

Mur uses the following third-party services:

Mur does not use any cloud database, authentication service, or backend server. Each service above has its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review them.

6. Analytics

We use PostHog (hosted in the EU) to collect anonymised usage analytics. This helps us understand how the app is used and where to focus improvements. Analytics data includes events like "entry created" or "screen viewed" but never includes your journal content, photo data, search queries, or any personally identifiable information.

You can disable analytics tracking in your device's app tracking settings.

7. In-App Purchases

Mur Pro subscriptions are managed by RevenueCat and processed by Apple through the App Store. We never see or store your payment information (credit card numbers, billing address, etc.). RevenueCat receives an anonymised app user ID and subscription status to manage entitlements.

8. Children's Privacy

Mur is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information through the app, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to remove it.

9. Data Retention and Deletion

All journal data is stored only on your device. Deleting the app removes all local data permanently — entries, photos, preferences, and stats.

Since Mur has no account system and no server-side storage, there is no remote data to delete. Your data is entirely under your control.

10. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data:

Since all journal data is stored locally on your device, it is already under your direct control. For questions about analytics data, contact us at the address below.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review the policy periodically. Continued use of the app after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
