Privacy policy
Last updated 28 October 2026
LifeComic is a habit app that draws your days as comic pages. This policy says, in plain words, what the app keeps on your phone, what leaves it, who receives it, how long it is kept, and how you delete it. It applies to the LifeComic app for iPhone, the web app at app.lifecomic.app, and this site. LifeComic is operated by Adebayo Olowoyeye; you can reach us at [email protected].
What stays on your phone
Your book lives on your device: habits, tasks, plans, journal entries, mood and energy, your saga, your vision board and its pictures, the characters you make, your hero, your finished pages and the words you write on them. The app keeps all of this in its own storage on the phone. You can save it as an encrypted backup file that you hold; we have no copy of those files. You can also choose to keep an encrypted copy of the book on our server, sealed with a passphrase we never see, so that another device can pick it up; that is described below.
You can use LifeComic without any comic at all. If you decline the AI services during setup, or switch them off later in Settings, nothing described in the next section is sent, and the game carries on.
What leaves your phone, and why
When you close a day and ask for its page, a summary of that day leaves your phone so that an AI can write the page and another can draw it. The app shows you this before it starts, and asks for your agreement. The summary contains:
- the day's habits, kept or missed, and the quests you finished;
- your mood and the day's highlight;
- short facts from the areas you allow in Settings: quests, social, money, journal, your plan and your calendar; names of people you mention can be part of it;
- the scripts of your recent pages and your hero's description, so pages follow on from each other;
- your saga, only if you switch that on.
Pictures: the drawing of your hero, and of the people you have made characters for, go with the summary so they look the same on every page; a checking model compares the finished page with them. If you make a hero or a character from a photo, that photo is sent to the drawing service once and deleted from our server straight afterwards. Pictures on your vision board never leave your phone.
Who receives it
Our server passes the summary to the AI services behind LifeComic's models: Google (Gemini draws the pictures) and Anthropic (Claude writes and checks the stories and powers the companions and the coach). These services process what they receive under their own terms and may retain it for a limited time.
Diagnostics
So that a problem you write to us about can be found and fixed, the app reports crashes and which screens are used to two diagnostics services, Sentry (errors) and PostHog (which screens are opened and a few moments such as a day being closed or a page failing), under your account id. These reports never contain what you wrote: no habit, day, journal line, page or its words. The reports also carry the app's version and the kind of device. Nothing is sent until you have seen this described in the app's agreement step, and you can switch diagnostics off under Settings, Data and privacy; the switch is kept on your phone and takes effect at once. Our server reports its own errors to Sentry in the same way, with the request's ids and never a day's summary.
Your account
To draw pages you need an account, which holds your email address and a password, kept with Supabase, our database and authentication provider. The account also records what you have bought, your page balance, and the technical record of each page request: when it was asked for, whether it succeeded, and what it cost us to draw. It does not hold your habits, journal or plans; those stay on your phone.
Purchases
Purchases are made through Apple's App Store; we never see your card or bank details. RevenueCat processes the purchase records for us and tells our server what you bought, under an identifier that is your account's id, so that the pages you paid for are credited to you. Receipts and refunds are Apple's.
Notifications
If you allow notifications, the app registers a device token with Apple's push service so we can tell you when a page is ready. The token is kept with your account and removed when you sign out or delete the account.
How long we keep things
| What | Kept |
|---|---|
| The day's summary and the pictures sent with it | Until the page is drawn or given up on, then cleaned up by the server; a failed cleanup is retried. |
| Finished pages | Kept with your account, by default, so a new phone or the web app can show them. In Settings you can instead keep them only until you save an encrypted backup that contains them, or delete them after your phone has downloaded them. |
| A copy of your book, if you switch it on | Sealed on your phone with a passphrase we never hold, kept in a folder only your account can read, the newest two copies. We cannot open it. Removed when you switch it off or delete the account. |
| Photos used to make a hero or a character | Deleted from our server straight after the drawing is made. |
| Account, balance and page records | For as long as the account exists; purchase records are kept afterwards as long as accounting requires, without the person. |
| Operational logs | Short retention, for keeping the service running; they do not contain your days. |
| Diagnostics | Crash reports and screen names, under the services' own retention of 90 days or less; removed with the account on request. |
Deleting your account
Settings has a "Delete account" control. It removes your account and asks the server to remove every copy of your pages and data it holds; the cleanup can finish a little after the request. Your book on the phone is yours to keep or remove. We cannot recall what an AI service has already received, but we send it nothing further. If you cannot use the app, email us and we will delete the account for you.
Your rights
You can ask what we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, and withdraw your agreement to the AI services at any time in Settings. Email [email protected]. If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, these are your rights under the GDPR, and you may also complain to your data protection authority.
Children
LifeComic is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. If you believe a child has made an account, email us and we will delete it.
Changes
If what is sent, or to whom, changes, the app asks for your agreement again before sending anything, and this page is updated with the date above.
