MyLastWeek is a private journal. The app is designed so that your memories belong to you and stay with you. This policy describes what the app collects, what it never collects, and the choices you have.
You write your Week Story. MyLastWeek can lay out a draft for you, assembled on your device from that week's own moments — the notes, places, and markers you already saved — by fixed rules, and you edit or replace every word of it.
There is no model and no generated prose. MyLastWeek does not send your content to any AI service, because there is no AI feature in the app to send it to.
The following content is stored on your iPhone, in the app's local storage. It is never uploaded to a MyLastWeek server, and there are no MyLastWeek servers that hold your memories. If you turn on iCloud sync, described below, a copy of your moments and their files also goes to your own private iCloud database:
Anonymous, aggregated analytics are off by default. If you turn them on in Settings, the app shares anonymous feature and reliability signals so we can understand which screens are used and where things break.
When enabled, analytics events record interaction types only — for example, "opened the week view" or "tapped Save Story" — never the content of what you saved. Analytics events never include: moment text, attached media, voice transcripts, locations, search queries, or your Week Stories.
Anonymous crash diagnostics are also off by default. If enabled, the app sends technical crash reports so we can fix what's broken. Reports include the kind of technical context that helps reproduce a crash: device model, iOS version, app version, and the code path that failed. Reports never include moment text, media, transcripts, locations, search queries, or filenames that reveal your memories.
iCloud sync is a setting you turn on. It is off unless you choose it. There is one exception: if your installation was already mirroring moments to iCloud before this setting existed, it stays on, so the weeks you already have do not appear to vanish from your other device. You can turn it off whenever you want.
When sync is on, your moments and the photos, videos, and voice notes attached to them are stored in your own private iCloud database, under your Apple ID. That database is yours: it is not our server, we have no access to it, and there is no MyLastWeek account to create.
When sync is off, nothing leaves the device.
Changing the setting takes effect the next time you launch the app.
Sync is free. Backup and export are never a paid tier.
Separately from the app's own sync, if you have iCloud Backup enabled in iOS, your iPhone's standard backup includes MyLastWeek's app data — alongside your other apps — exactly as iOS handles it. That backup is between your device and your Apple ID; we do not have access to it either.
MyLastWeek requests system permissions only for features you choose to use:
You can change any of these at any time in iOS Settings.
When you choose to attach a photo or video, MyLastWeek reads the items you select. Originals stay in your Photos library; MyLastWeek does not modify them.
The optional Privacy Lock requires Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode before opening MyLastWeek. The biometric check is handled by iOS — the app never sees your biometric data.
You can export everything at any time from Settings → Export Your Memories. The export is a single ZIP archive containing memories.json — every week and every moment as plain text — a media folder with every photo and video, a voice folder with every voice note, and a README explaining how the files fit together. It is built on your device and saved or shared through iOS, and you do not need the app to read it.
The export is free and always available. It is not a paid feature and never will be.
You can permanently erase every moment, voice note, app-stored photo or video, transcript, and search index from your device using Delete All Memories in the Danger Zone of Settings. Originals in your Photos library are not touched. App preferences (language, reminders, privacy lock) are kept unless you reinstall the app.
MyLastWeek is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from them.
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new date.
