Privacy Policy

Effective: April 20, 2026 · Last updated: April 20, 2026 · 中文 · 日本語

Applies to: Sealmate v1.0 and subsequent minor releases · Platform: iOS 17.2 and later


1. About Us

This app "Sealmate" (Chinese name: 迟语, Bundle ID: com.jing.sealmate) is independently developed and operated by Liu Hongwei (hereinafter "we" / "us").

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, how personal information is handled, or how to exercise your data rights, please contact us:

2. In One Sentence

Sealmate 1.0 is fully offline. We do not collect, upload, or store any of your data.

The text you write, the photos you choose, and the unlock times you set live only in the app sandbox on your own iPhone / iPad and never leave your device. We have no servers, no accounts, no cloud sync, and no analytics.

3. Mapping to the App Store "Data Privacy" Labels

The App Store requires developers to disclose their data collection practices item by item according to Apple's data type list. Below is Sealmate 1.0's declaration for each item, consistent with what we selected in App Store Connect:

Data typeCollectedUsed for tracking
Contact info (name, email, phone, address)No
Health & fitnessNo
Financial infoNo
Location (precise / coarse)No
Sensitive info (race, beliefs, sexual orientation, etc.)No
ContactsNo
User content (email, messages, photos, video, audio, gameplay, other)No
Browsing historyNo
Search historyNo
Identifiers (user ID, device ID)No
PurchasesNo
Usage data (product interaction, advertising data)No
Diagnostics (crash, performance)No
Other dataNo

In short: we collect none of the 14 categories above, and we never use any of them for cross-app tracking of any kind. In the "App Privacy" section of App Store Connect, we selected "Data Not Collected".

4. How the App Uses Local Data

Although we do not collect any data, the app itself does need to read and write the following on your device in order to function:

4.1 The seals you write (text + optional photo + unlock time)

4.2 Notification permission (optional)

4.3 Photo permission

4.4 Local preferences

Access to and processing of the local data above complies with the "required-reason API" declarations required under Apple's Privacy Manifest specification, with the corresponding reason codes: UserDefaults CA92.1, file timestamps C617.1. The complete declaration is uploaded to the App Store together with the app.

5. Third-Party SDKs and Services

Sealmate 1.0 does not integrate any third-party SDK and does not call any third-party network service. No advertising SDK, no analytics SDK, no crash-reporting SDK, no push SDK, no payment SDK.

6. Data Sharing and Cross-Border Transfer

7. Children's Privacy

We do not design this app for children under the age of 13. Because we collect no data, there is no scenario in which we specifically collect children's personal information. If you are a guardian and believe a child used this app unsupervised in a way that raises any concern, please contact us at the email in Section 1 of this policy.

8. Your Rights

Under the relevant provisions of laws and regulations such as the Personal Information Protection Law of the People's Republic of China, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA / CPRA), you have the following rights:

Because we hold no server-side data about you, these rights are fully guaranteed by the iOS system mechanisms and require no processing on our part.

9. Security

Although your data never leaves your device, we still rely on multiple layers of protection at the iOS system level:

10. Changes to This Policy

If this policy changes materially (for example, if a future version introduces cloud sync, collaboration features, or third-party services), before the new version goes live we will:

Continuing to use the updated version constitutes acceptance of the new policy. If you do not agree with the new version, you may stop using it at any time and uninstall the app in your system settings.

11. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

The interpretation, validity, and dispute resolution of this policy are governed by the laws of the People's Republic of China (excluding the laws of Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan). Any dispute arising from the content of this policy shall be resolved through negotiation; if negotiation fails, it shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the competent People's Court in the developer's location.

Thank you for choosing Sealmate. We believe the words most worth protecting should belong only to you and to the future moment you choose.
