Your journal starts private. Sharing is a deliberate choice with an audience, purpose, and follow-up.
🎯 Use This When
- You want to know what stays private.
- You are deciding whether to share selected context.
- You want to review privacy controls before using Circles.
🔒 What Stays Private
Private notes, journal history, account settings, and personal preferences stay private unless you choose a specific sharing action.
✅ One Thing To Do Now
Before sharing, read the audience label and ask whether the Circle is still the right place.
In short: Everything you write starts private, and it only becomes shared after you choose an audience and confirm why you are sharing.
Privacy Basics
| Area | Default expectation |
|---|---|
| Journal | Private to you unless you share selected context. |
| Life Rings | Private signals for balance. |
| Circles | Visible only to the people in that Circle. |
| Messages | Bounded by the Circle or direct audience. |
| Public pages | Describe Logit, not your private app content. |
| Account controls | Managed from Self or support paths. |
| Connected exercise | Imported facts start private; background/history upgrades and heart-rate access are separate choices. GPS route data is not currently imported or stored. A workout can automatically complete a matching workout habit and stand as its evidence; goals and tasks still wait for your confirmation. Provenance, consent, overrides, retention, export, and facts-only deletion remain visible in Connected health data. |
📱 What Access Logit Asks For
Logit only asks for device access when a feature you choose needs it. Each one is optional, off until you turn it on, and reversible in your device settings. Anything you capture or connect becomes a private journal entry that stays private unless you later choose to share it.
| Access | When Logit asks | Why | How you stay in control |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sign in with Apple or Google | Only when you create or return to your account. | To create and protect your account, keep your private notes apart from everyone else's, and confirm Logit is appropriate for your age. | Logit uses your name and email plus a required age check — Apple or Google confirms an adult-status age range, never your birth date. Optional profile basics from Google, like gender, only pre-fill your profile and you can edit or remove them. Logit never sees the password for that account; with Apple you can hide your email. |
| Photos and camera | Only when you add a photo to a journal entry, capture a moment, or photograph a page to turn into entries. | To create private journal events from images you pick or take. | Logit sees only the images you choose; you can allow limited photos or turn access off. A picture becomes a journal event only after you review and approve it. |
| Microphone | Only when you record a private voice note or use the Logit voice agent. | To capture spoken journal notes or let you speak app changes. | Voice notes: you review the note before it is saved to your journal. Voice agent: the recording is not kept, and what you asked for is held only as a preview until you confirm it or it expires — nothing changes without your confirmation. Turn access off anytime. |
| Notifications | Only if you allow reminders and Circle updates. | To send gentle reminders and let you know when something needs attention. | You choose whether to allow them and can adjust or turn them off in settings. |
| Location while using Logit | During onboarding when you tap Use current location, or later when you use the same action on a journal event. | To suggest the current place on that private event and support map review. | No background location or route history. Deny or skip without blocking journaling; search Google Maps manually; change or remove the place on every event. |
| Connect a health app | When you choose Connected health services in the production mobile app: Apple Health on iPhone or Health Connect on Android. Workout import is unavailable on the web. | To bring completed workouts in as private Exercise Events. | Read-only: you choose which health app to connect, which exercise types to allow, how much history, and whether background updates are on — matching completed workouts then import automatically as private Exercise Events. Imported facts start private, Logit never changes your health app, no location or route data is imported, and you can disconnect or delete imported facts anytime. |
Logit never uses background location or tracks a route, and workout route data is not imported. Tapping Use current location requests access and reads one foreground position while open. Once you grant access, a new current-day event composer may read one fresh foreground position to prefill that private event. You can override it with Google Maps, keep a label without coordinates, or choose No location. Photo metadata remains a separate reviewed source: older photo imports never inherit where you are during review.
Sharing Checklist
- Who can see this?
- Why am I sharing it?
- What do I want them to do?
- Would a private note be safer?
- Can I mute, leave, block, or report if needed?
🌿 Why This Matters
Privacy is not a footer promise. It is part of every moment where private reflection might become shared support.
