Temple Privacy Policy

Effective 2026-11-12

Temple is made by Pupik Studio. This policy covers the Temple app for iPhone, its widgets and its Live Activity.

The short version

We do not collect anything. Temple has no account, no server of ours, no analytics and no ads. Your diary stays on your iPhone. We never see it.

What Temple stores, and where

  • Your diary. The attacks you log, with their times, pain, where it hurt, symptoms, possible triggers, medications and whether they helped, how limiting they were and your notes, are saved in a file inside Temple's own storage on your iPhone. Temple also keeps earlier copies of that file on your iPhone (going back up to a year), so a damaged file can be recovered. Temple's widgets and Live Activity read and write the same file on your iPhone.
  • Your device backup. Like the rest of your iPhone, that file is part of your iPhone's own backup, in iCloud Backup or on a computer, if you back up your iPhone. That backup belongs to your Apple account and is made by iOS, not by Temple. Temple itself does not store anything in iCloud.
  • Settings. Your choices, such as the pressure place, units and alert, are saved on your iPhone.

We never receive any of this.

Location and the pressure forecast

The pressure forecast comes from Apple Weather (WeatherKit). To get it, Temple needs a place:

  • If you tap "Use my approximate location", iOS asks for permission, and Temple asks only for your approximate location while you use the app. Temple rounds the position to about 10 km and sends that area to Apple Weather to get the forecast, and to Apple's map service to get the area's name.
  • Or you can type a place instead. The text you type is sent to Apple's map service to find it. This needs no location permission.

The place is kept on your iPhone so the forecast can be refreshed. Temple also keeps a daily record of the pressure there on your iPhone, for Patterns, and never sends it anywhere. Nothing from your diary is ever sent with these requests. Apple handles them under its own privacy policy; we don't receive them. You can turn location access off in the Settings app at any time and type a place instead.

Notifications

If you turn on the pressure alert, Temple schedules a notification on your iPhone before a sharp pressure change. Nothing is sent to a server of ours.

Purchases

Temple Plus is bought through Apple's App Store. Apple handles the payment. Temple learns only whether a purchase is active on your device; we do not receive your name or payment details.

Files you export

When you export a spreadsheet (CSV), a backup file or the doctor report (PDF), Temple creates the file on your iPhone and hands it to the iOS share sheet. Where it goes next is your choice: it then follows the privacy terms of wherever you send or save it.

What Temple does not do

  • It does not ask for your name, email address or any account.
  • It does not use analytics, advertising or tracking tools, and it contains no third-party code that collects data.
  • It does not sell, share or use your health information for advertising or any other purpose.

Deleting your data

  • To delete one attack, open it and tap "Delete this attack".
  • To delete everything, delete the Temple app: that removes the diary, its earlier copies and your settings from your iPhone.
  • Copies made outside Temple are under your control: a backup file or spreadsheet you exported, and your iPhone's device backups (manage those in the Settings app, under your name, then iCloud, or on your computer).

Children

Temple is not directed at children, and it collects no personal information from anyone.

Not medical advice

Temple is a diary, not a medical device. It records what you log and counts it. Talk to your doctor before making medical decisions.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at the same address with a new effective date.
