Penjo needs access to calendar if you decide to add Apple Calendar events list, needs location information if you decide to add or edit an Apple Calendar event or add/edit a map card, contacts if you decide to view details of the Apple Calendar event, shared photos if you decide to insert photos from the photos library, and finally disk access if you want to export PDF to a folder you select. Otherwise, Penjo does not access any personal information. All accessed personal information data is used for that session and stored locally in application's folder.

For all privacy and terms of use related issues for Firebase Analytics , corresponding Google's Privacy Policy applies.

iCloud Sync

As an optional feature, the user may sync his/her journals and related data to his/her private iCloud. For all privacy and terms of use related issues, Apple's Terms of Use and Privacy Policy applies.

Text Recognition

Starting with version 3.0, Penjo has on-device text recognition feature. Text recognition processing is performed completely on user's device and no data is transferred to any external server or device for processing.

Apple Intelligence

Penjo integrates Apple Intelligence tools, specifically Writing Tools and Image Playground, available on supported devices and in supported regions. Users can activate and use Writing Tools within text boxes, or generate images in their journals using drawings, images, or text inputs.

All data processed by Writing Tools and Image Playground is handled on the user’s device whenever possible. In cases requiring more comprehensive processing, the data is securely transmitted to Apple’s Private Cloud Compute servers for further processing. This process is managed entirely by Apple, and all data handling is subject to Apple’s privacy policies. For more details on how Apple processes data, please refer to Apple's Privacy Policy.

Penjo never collects any personal information and never shares any personal data with me or with any other 3rd parties (for iCloud Sync, Apple Intelligence and Google Analytics, the policies mentioned above applies).
