Updated 14 November 2026

Your information,
handled with care.

This notice explains how My Daily handles information when you use the iOS app, widgets, Live Activities and this website.

Your dashboard

Named nuggets, routines, chosen places and appearance settings are stored on your device. The app shares the configuration and snapshots needed for widgets with its own extension through an Apple App Group. Your device's backup settings may also apply.

Backend and information providers

My Daily uses a developer-operated backend to request information from providers. Requests may include chosen or current coordinates, stations, flight numbers, video searches, calendar selections, regions and topics needed for the feature you use. The backend processes Google Calendar requests but does not persist Google response bodies or OAuth credentials. Other provider responses may be cached. Providers handle requests under their own privacy terms. These include Google/YouTube, Open-Meteo, National Rail, TfL, ESPN, BBC, TMDB and AeroDataBox. Apple Maps, location and Reminders services also operate under Apple's policies.

Location

Location-based features use location only with your permission. Weather and nearby searches may send location to the backend and relevant provider. Banner scenery sends a coarsened geographic cell. Location schedules and widgets may use the last location shared by the app. You can change permissions in iOS Settings and choose fixed locations where supported.

Calendar and reminders

Google Calendar access requires your consent. Personal OAuth credentials are stored in Apple's Keychain, shared only with the app's widget extension. Calendar data is used to display your selected events. Apple Reminders data is read with your permission. Selected information may appear in widgets or Live Activities visible on your device, including its Lock Screen.

On-device intelligence and diagnostics

Nugget descriptions and daily briefing generation use Apple's on-device models; prompts and generated briefings are not sent to a cloud AI service. If briefing generation fails, My Daily sends a diagnostic report to its backend. It includes an installation identifier, app and OS versions, device family, model availability, timing, counts and sanitized error details. It excludes the briefing prompt, raw response, source contents and authentication tokens. Unsent diagnostic reports are kept locally for up to seven days, with at most twenty reports queued.

Installation identifiers, logs and push updates

The backend assigns an installation identifier for authentication and operational logs. It can associate requests, provider activity and diagnostics with that installation. Push tokens and the data needed to watch subscribed widgets or Live Activities are stored for update delivery. Operational logs help diagnose failures and service behaviour. Infrastructure and information providers may also process IP addresses as part of network requests. This identifier is not an advertising identifier.

Account feature access

My Daily uses a verified, app-specific iCloud identity to give you the same feature access on linked devices. The backend stores a hashed account reference and a generated account identifier; it does not collect your Apple account email, name or password, or retain temporary Apple authentication tokens. This does not sync your nuggets or settings. Self-hosted feature management assigns access by account, including gradual rollouts. We do not collect card-view or manual-refresh events for usage analytics. Share the account reference shown in Settings when requesting access or assistance.

Purchases and free unlocks

Apple processes Plus subscription payments, renewals, cancellations and refunds. My Daily does not receive your payment-card details. Our backend verifies purchases with Apple and stores your app account identifier, original transaction identifier, product, subscription status, expiry and verification time to provide access across linked devices. It also stores your permanent additional free nugget choice. These records remain until account deletion is requested, including after reinstalling or resetting local settings, so we can restore access and prevent a free choice being claimed repeatedly. Complimentary access is assigned by app account reference. It does not cancel an existing Apple subscription. Manage paid subscriptions in your Apple account settings; contact support for account-data requests.

Operational diagnostics

My Daily sends diagnostic reports to our own backend to investigate service failures. Reports include an installation identifier, app/build and operating-system versions, request status and timing, safe error codes, and request identifiers. Apple may provide delayed crash, hang and resource-use diagnostics; we retain bounded binary identifiers and code offsets for troubleshooting, not raw diagnostic payloads. AI briefing failure reports contain redacted technical errors, never the briefing prompt or generated text. Diagnostic uploads exclude calendar contents, nugget names, searches, exact locations, credentials and arbitrary console messages.

Pending reports are stored on the device for up to seven days and retried during later app use. Central logs are retained for fourteen days, with asynchronous deletion, and aggregate operational metrics for up to thirty days. Monitoring is restricted to administrators. These diagnostics are for reliability, not advertising or feature-usage tracking.

Retention and your choices

Local configurations remain until you change or remove them. Cached data and background subscriptions have operational expiry periods that vary by feature. Installation records and diagnostic logs may remain for service operation and troubleshooting. Disconnect Google to stop its use, revoke provider permissions, remove nuggets and widgets, or end Live Activities in Settings. Contact us to request assistance with information retained by the backend.

Google Maps rail journeys

When you select Google Maps, your chosen station coordinates are sent through our backend to Google to calculate rail journeys. This optional service is subject to the Google Maps Terms of Service and Google Privacy Policy. We do not retain Google journey responses in our backend cache.

No advertising tracking

My Daily does not include advertising SDKs or sell personal information. This website uses no analytics scripts or advertising cookies. Opening a linked article, video or other third-party page is subject to that service's policies.

Contact and changes

Email [email protected]. Please include your app version, iOS version and the steps that led to the problem. Do not send passwords, API keys or private calendar contents.

We may update this notice when features or data handling change. The date above identifies the current version.
