Simple Memory System Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 3, 2026

Simple Memory System is provided by Larry Phillips, doing business as Prairie Light Press.

Information stored by the app

Your thoughts, reminders, saved entries, and unfinished text are stored locally on your device. The app does not require an account. Prairie Light Press does not receive or have access to these entries.

The app does not include advertising, tracking tools, or third-party analytics.

Voice capture

With your permission, the app uses your microphone and Apple’s speech recognition service to convert spoken words into text. Depending on your device, language, and service availability, audio may be sent to Apple for processing. Speech recognition is not guaranteed to remain entirely on your device.

Apple’s handling of this information is governed by its privacy policies. Prairie Light Press does not receive your audio, and the app does not save audio recordings. You can type instead of using voice capture and can change microphone and speech-recognition permissions in your device’s Settings.

Reminders and notifications

With your permission, the app schedules local notifications containing your reminder text. Notifications may appear on your Lock Screen or connected Apple devices according to your settings. You can change notification permissions and preview visibility in Settings.

Storage and deletion

Saved entries remain in the app until you delete them or remove the app’s data. Marking an entry Done keeps it for later reference. Deleting or completing a reminder cancels its associated pending alert.

Device backups may contain app data. Older versions may also have retained a local migration copy of earlier thoughts. To remove all local app data, delete the app rather than offloading it. Backup copies are managed separately through your Apple or computer backup settings.

Support

If you contact us, we receive the information you choose to include and use it to respond to your request. Avoid sending private thoughts or sensitive information unnecessarily.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the app’s features or privacy practices change. The effective date above will identify the latest revision.
