Privacy policy

Last updated 11 January 2026. The short version: your content lives on your device, we operate no servers, and there is nothing for us to read.

Stored on your device

Your journal entries, affirmations, boards and identity cards stay under your control.

No tracking or account

No advertising SDKs, analytics upload or Manifestly account is required.

iCloud is optional

Sync uses your personal Apple account. Manifestly does not run the sync server or read its contents.

How we handle your data

  • On-device storage. Everything you create in Manifestly — gratitude journal entries, affirmations, vision boards and identity cards — is stored only on your device.
  • No servers. We do not operate any servers to receive, store or process your personal data. The app never uploads your content to us.
  • Optional iCloud sync. If you enable iCloud, synchronization happens inside your own iCloud account through Apple’s iCloud and CloudKit. We do not host, access or control that data.
  • Deletion is final. When you delete something in the app it is removed from your device, and from your iCloud account after the next sync if iCloud is on. We cannot recover deleted data.

What we do not collect

  • No account sign-up. Manifestly does not ask you to create an account.
  • No tracking SDKs. There are no third-party advertising or tracking libraries in the app.
  • No analytics upload. We do not send usage data off your device.
  • No content profiling. We do not scan your private practice to build an advertising profile or sell information about you.

Permissions and Apple services

Manifestly asks for access only when a feature needs it. You can review or change permissions at any time in your device settings.

  • Photos and media. Used only when you choose to import or save images.
  • iCloud. Used only if you turn sync on; the data stays in your iCloud account.
  • In-app purchases. Payments are processed securely by Apple. We never see your full payment details.

Passcode and biometric protection

You can protect your manifestation practice with an in-app passcode and, on supported devices, unlock it with Face ID or Touch ID. Biometric matching is handled by the operating system; Manifestly does not receive or store your face or fingerprint data.

Offline use and optional sync

The core app works without an internet connection because your practice is kept locally. Network access is needed only for services you choose to use, such as iCloud sync, restoring purchases or downloading an App Store update.

Data retention and deletion

Your data exists only on your devices and, if you have enabled it, in your own iCloud account. You control how long it is kept. Deleting content in the app removes the local copy and, after sync, its iCloud copy. If you uninstall without iCloud sync or another device copy, we cannot restore your content.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy to reflect product improvements or legal requirements. Significant changes will be highlighted in the app.
