Conjunction — Privacy policy
Last updated July 9, 2026
Stone Mesa Studio, LLC does not collect, sell, or track your data, and Conjunction has no ads, no analytics, and no account to create. Your writing lives on your device and, if you turn on iCloud, syncs privately across your own Apple devices through Apple's iCloud1 — never our servers. Two features reach beyond your device: image prompts fetch public-domain artwork from two museums2, and an optional Inner Circle shares only what you choose to post with the people you invite3. Each is detailed below, with how to switch it off.
Your journal and diary
Everything you write is stored on your device. If you have iCloud turned on, your journal and diary sync across your own Apple devices through your private iCloud1 — Apple's infrastructure, not ours. You can add an optional Face ID, Touch ID, or passcode lock to your Diary; that check is handled by iOS on your device4, and Conjunction never sees your biometrics or passcode. Turn it off: disable iCloud for Conjunction to keep everything local to one device, and set or remove the Diary lock at any time.
Prompt images
The image prompt fetches public-domain artwork from the Art Institute of Chicago and The Metropolitan Museum of Art through their public image services2. Only a request for a picture is sent — no account, no identifier, and nothing about you or your writing. Turn it off: use the word, phrase, framework, and genre prompts instead, which need no network connection at all.
Inner Circle
Collaboration is optional and invite-only. When you create or join a circle, the notes, prompts, and journal entries you choose to post are stored in Conjunction's iCloud (CloudKit) space so the members you invited can see them3. Your Diary is never shareable. A profile is only a name, a color, and a symbol — never a photo. Reactions are supportive-only. If you report a post, that report is sent to us so we can review it and act; you can block members and delete your own posts at any time. Turn it off: don't create or join a circle — the rest of Conjunction works entirely on its own.
Reminders
If you set gentle writing reminders, Conjunction schedules them as local notifications on your device. There is no push server, and we receive nothing. Turn it off: disable reminders in the app, or Conjunction's notifications in Settings.
Human-made, never AI
The prompts are written and curated by real people. Nothing you write is ever sent to an AI, used to train one, or processed by any machine-learning service — the app only shuffles and combines material made by writers.
No accounts, no third parties
Conjunction has no account to create, no advertising, no analytics, no crash-reporting, and no third-party tracking software or code libraries that send your data anywhere.
Notes
- iCloud sync (Apple frameworks). If you enable iCloud, your journal and diary sync through your own private iCloud, under Apple's privacy policy. We operate no server that stores your writing. ↩
- Museum image services. The Art Institute of Chicago and The Metropolitan Museum of Art publish public, keyless image APIs. Conjunction requests artwork from curated themes and sends nothing about you or your writing; each museum handles the request under its own policy. ↩
- Inner Circle sharing (CloudKit). Content you post to a circle lives in Conjunction's iCloud (CloudKit) space, hosted by Apple, so the members you invited can see it — and only that content, never your Diary. Reports you file are sent to us for moderation. ↩
- Diary lock (LocalAuthentication). Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode is handled by iOS on your device. Conjunction only asks iOS whether the check passed; it never receives your biometrics or passcode. ↩
Children's privacy
Conjunction is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone.
