EternalQuotes App – Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 12, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to EternalQuotes.
EternalQuotes (“the App”) is an iOS application dedicated to inspirational quotes, personal reflection, journaling, and meaningful self-expression.
The App is operated by Jan Pokorzynski, operating under the name EternalQuotes (“we”, “us”, or “our”).
We respect your privacy and aim to protect your personal information while providing a thoughtful and enjoyable experience.
This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected, how it is used, when information may be shared with third parties, and what choices you have regarding your data.
This policy applies specifically to the EternalQuotes mobile application. The EternalQuotes website at eternalquotes.com has its own separate privacy policy.
2. No Account Required
You can use EternalQuotes without creating an account or providing your name, email address, or password.
Most of the App’s core features are designed to work locally on your device.
However, certain optional features, including artificial intelligence, advertising, analytics, and in-app purchases, may involve external service providers.
3. Information Stored Locally
EternalQuotes stores certain information directly on your device, including:
- Personal journal entries and drafts
- Future Letters, opening dates, and replies
- Saved quotes
- Personal quote collections
- Selected themes and preferences
- Other information necessary to maintain your App experience
This information is not automatically uploaded to an EternalQuotes user account or synchronized with an EternalQuotes cloud database.
We do not routinely receive the contents of your locally stored journal entries or Future Letters.
Certain information may be transmitted when you explicitly use an optional online feature, as explained below.
4. Artificial Intelligence Features
EternalQuotes may provide optional AI-assisted features, including:
- Find Your Words
- Find Words for This Entry
These features help users discover quotes relevant to their feelings, thoughts, or written reflections.
Information processed
When you submit text to an AI feature, the information necessary to process your request is transmitted to our application backend and to external AI processing services.
Our planned AI infrastructure uses OpenRouter and a compatible AI model provider.
The transmitted information may include:
- The text you choose to submit
- Information required to process the request
- Limited technical information necessary for service operation, security, and usage management
Journal privacy
Your journal entries are not automatically submitted to an AI service.
When using Find Words for This Entry, only the content selected for the requested AI feature is transmitted after you explicitly initiate the request.
Your Future Letters are not automatically transmitted for AI processing.
Third-party processing
OpenRouter routes AI requests to external model providers.
Depending on the selected provider, data may be processed or retained under that provider’s applicable privacy and security practices.
We aim to minimize the information submitted and apply appropriate privacy controls.
Before using an AI feature that transfers personal information to an external service, you will receive a relevant disclosure and be asked for the required permission.
We do not intentionally use personal AI submissions for advertising personalization.
AI service availability
AI features require an internet connection and may be subject to usage limits or availability restrictions.
5. Analytics
We plan to use Google Analytics for Firebase, a service provided by Google, to understand App usage and improve the user experience.
Depending on the SDK configuration and applicable privacy choices, analytics information may include:
- App launches and sessions
- Feature usage and interaction events
- App instance identifiers
- Device information
- Operating system and App version
- Approximate geographic information
- Technical usage information
- Purchase-related events
We do not intentionally send journal content, Future Letters, or personal AI prompts as analytics event parameters.
Analytics collection will be managed according to applicable consent requirements and the privacy controls implemented in the App.

6. Advertising
The free version of EternalQuotes may display advertisements provided by Google AdMob.
EternalQuotes is designed to use occasional full-screen advertisements rather than persistent banner advertisements.
Advertising providers may process information including:
- Device and advertising identifiers, where permitted
- IP address
- Approximate location derived from network information
- Ad impressions and interactions
- Device and application information
- Information used for advertising measurement, security, and fraud prevention
Depending on applicable law and your privacy choices, advertisements may be personalized or non-personalized.
Where required, we use consent mechanisms and request permission before enabling relevant advertising or tracking activities.
Users may be offered a separate, optional in-app purchase to remove advertisements.
For further information, see:
https://policies.google.com/privacy
7. In-App Purchases
Optional purchases, including Remove Ads and any premium features made available in the future, are processed through Apple’s App Store.
We do not receive your full payment card information.
Apple handles payment transactions. Limited purchase or entitlement information may be processed to verify purchases, provide purchased functionality, and restore eligible purchases.
For more information, please refer to Apple’s privacy policy:
https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy
8. Backup, Export, and Import
EternalQuotes is designed to store personal content locally.
Where available, users can export their personal information and import a compatible backup.
Exported files may contain sensitive personal information, including journal entries and Future Letters.
You should store exported backups securely and avoid sharing them with unauthorized individuals.
Depending on your iOS settings and Apple’s backup mechanisms, certain locally stored App data may also be included in device backups.
We do not control how external storage providers manage backup files you choose to store with them.
Without a suitable device backup or exported copy, locally stored data may not be recoverable after device loss, damage, or deletion.
9. Data Retention and Deletion
Locally stored personal information generally remains on your device until you delete it or remove the App, subject to available backups and the behavior of the operating system.
EternalQuotes is designed to provide controls for managing and deleting personal content.
Removing the App may delete locally stored information. Copies retained in device backups or separately exported files may remain until deleted through the relevant storage service.
Analytics, advertising, payment, and AI service providers may retain certain information under their applicable retention policies and legal obligations.
Where we control personal information, you may contact us to request deletion, subject to applicable legal requirements.
10. Legal Bases for Processing
Where the GDPR or similar data protection laws apply, processing may be based on:
- Contractual necessity: Providing features you request, including optional online services
- Consent: Processing that requires your permission, including certain analytics, advertising, tracking, or AI data-sharing activities
- Legitimate interests: Protecting the security, reliability, and integrity of the App, where legally permitted
- Legal obligations: Complying with applicable legal and regulatory requirements
Specific processing activities will be operated in accordance with the legal basis applicable to their actual implementation.
11. International Data Transfers
Some external service providers may process information outside your country of residence, including in the United States.
Where required by applicable law, appropriate safeguards will be used for international transfers of personal information.
These may include contractual protections or other legally recognized transfer mechanisms.
12. Your Privacy Choices and Rights
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to:
- Access personal information
- Request correction or deletion
- Restrict or object to certain processing
- Withdraw consent
- Request data portability
- Lodge a complaint with a competent data protection authority
Where relevant, privacy choices will be accessible through the App or its consent-management interface.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

13. Children’s Privacy
EternalQuotes is intended for a general audience.
We do not knowingly solicit personal information from children in violation of applicable data protection laws.
Where required, age-related safeguards and restrictions apply to advertising and online processing features.
Parents or guardians may contact us with privacy-related concerns.
14. Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures appropriate to the information and services involved.
Local personal content remains under the protection of your device and its operating system.
Information transmitted to external services is intended to be transferred through secure connections.
No electronic storage or transmission system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
15. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in the App, its service providers, or applicable legal requirements.
Updated versions will be published on our website with a revised effective date.
Where required, we will provide additional notice or request renewed consent.
