Your life stays yours.

Lifeweft is a private life journal and planning app developed and operated in New Zealand by Jamie Craig. This policy explains what information Lifeweft handles, where it goes and the choices you have.

Last updated 4 September 2026.

The short version

Your Lifeweft library belongs to you. It is stored on your Apple devices and in your personal iCloud account when iCloud sync is enabled. Lifeweft has no advertising, does not sell personal information and does not operate an account or analytics system that receives a copy of your library.

Information you choose to add

Lifeweft stores the material you choose to keep, including moments, plans, actions, shopping items, notes, sketches, photos, videos, documents, place details, media links, tags and app preferences.

Some entries may contain sensitive personal information. You decide what to add and can view, change, export or delete it in the app.

Where your library is stored

Your library is kept locally on your device and, when available, synced between your devices using Apple iCloud and CloudKit. It is associated with your Apple Account rather than a Lifeweft account. The developer cannot browse or retrieve the private content stored in your iCloud container.

Apple processes iCloud data under its own terms and privacy policy. Removing Lifeweft from a device may not delete information already stored in iCloud; you can delete entries in Lifeweft or manage iCloud data through Apple’s settings.

Apple features and permissions

Lifeweft asks for a permission only when a feature needs it. Depending on what you use, this may include:

Photos and camera to attach media you select or capture.
Location to search for or record a place.
Journaling Suggestions to show Apple’s private suggestion picker. Lifeweft only receives the suggestion you explicitly choose.
Face ID or Touch ID to protect access to the app on your device.
Notifications if you choose to receive reminders.

You can review or change permissions in Apple Settings. Where supported, title suggestions created with Apple Intelligence are generated on your device.

Searches, links and external services

Some features make a network request only when you use them. Apple Maps is used for place search and maps. Apple’s catalogue service is used for music and viewing searches. IMDb may be opened for a viewing search. Link previews contact the website whose address you add. These providers may receive ordinary connection information such as your IP address and are governed by their own privacy policies.

Purchases

In-app purchases are processed by Apple. Lifeweft receives transaction and entitlement information needed to unlock features, but does not receive your payment-card details.

The Lifeweft website

The website does not use advertising trackers or analytics and does not ask you to create an account. It is delivered by Cloudflare, which may process technical information such as IP addresses, browser details and request logs to deliver and protect the site. If you email for support, your message and address are used to answer you and retained only as reasonably needed for support and record-keeping.

Keeping information safe

Lifeweft uses Apple’s platform security, app sandboxing and iCloud services. No system can be guaranteed completely secure, so keep your Apple Account and devices protected and install operating-system updates.

Your choices and New Zealand privacy rights

You can access, correct, export and delete your Lifeweft entries from the app. Because the developer cannot access your private iCloud library, support cannot retrieve or edit that content for you.

If you contact Lifeweft directly, you may ask to access or correct personal information held about that correspondence. You may also make a complaint to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner. This policy is intended to meet the transparency requirements of New Zealand’s Privacy Act 2020.

Changes to this policy

This policy may change as Lifeweft develops. Material changes will be published here with a new updated date.
