YOUR INFORMATION

Privacy Policy

ShāngZhì — An Entropy Journal — helps you record questions, explore decisions, and reflect on your experience. This policy explains how journal information is stored and how AI analysis involves third-party processing.

Last updated: October 26, 2026

Information you provide

Your saved questions, journal entries, analyses, conversations, notes, and related settings form your journal records. You choose what to include. Your real name is not needed to describe a question or request analysis. Text you enter may nevertheless contain personal information about you or other people.

Storage and synchronization

ShāngZhì stores cloud journal records in the CloudKit Private Database / Private Zone associated with your personal Apple iCloud account. iCloud / CloudKit synchronization lets you continue your records across your Apple devices using the same account. Synchronization timing depends on connectivity and device status.

Private cloud storage and AI analysis are separate processes. Private storage does not mean that all content stays on your device.

AI analysis and third-party services

When you request AI analysis, your question, relevant journal content, conversation context, and other information needed for the analysis may be sent to third-party AI services to generate a response. Include only the context needed for your request.

Third-party processing, retention, possible human review, and use for model training depend on the provider, service, applicable policies, and settings. We do not make a blanket promise that providers never retain content or use it for training.

How information is used

Journal information is used to save and synchronize your records and to provide the analysis you request. We do not sell your personal data.

Retention and deletion

Deleted journal entries first move to ShāngZhì’s Trash, where they are kept for 30 days and may be restored. After 30 days, they are automatically deleted. Deletion status synchronizes through iCloud / CloudKit; timing depends on your network and device sync status.

The 30-day Trash rule applies to journal entries in the app. It does not control exported or shared copies, or records retained by third-party AI services. Those copies and records follow their own retention and deletion arrangements.

Your choices

  • Use general descriptions instead of names, contact details, or identifying information.
  • Review the content and context before requesting AI analysis.
  • Delete entries you no longer need using the app’s deletion controls.
  • Consider the privacy of other people before including their information.
