Shire: Headache Diary — Privacy Policy
Effective July 12, 2026 — unchanged by the 2.0 release, when the app was renamed from Headache Personal Diary to Shire.
The short version
Shire collects no data about you or your child. There are no accounts, no ads, no analytics or crash-reporting SDKs, and no servers of mine for the diary to travel to. Every record lives in your family's own iCloud Drive and on your devices — nowhere else. This matters doubly here, because the app is made for a child to use and holds health information.
Where the diary lives
- Your iCloud Drive. Every headache record and day check-in is stored as a plain, readable JSON file in your own iCloud Drive, inside the app's iCloud container. You can browse, export or delete these files yourself in the Files app at any time. They sync between your devices through Apple's infrastructure, never through mine. The app needs iCloud to function.
- You stay in control. Because the data is yours, deleting a record in the app — or the file in the Files app — removes it everywhere it synced. The PDF report is generated on your device and is shared only when and where you choose to share it.
What I collect
Nothing. There are no tracking identifiers and no network connections to servers of mine, because I don't run any. Apple may share anonymous, aggregate App Store statistics with me (such as total download counts), which contain nothing about you or your child.
Changes & contact
If this policy ever changes, the new version will be posted here with a new effective date. Questions? Email [email protected].
