The agreement itself
Your licence to use Days and Tales is Apple’s Licensed Application End User Licence Agreement — the standard terms that apply to apps downloaded from the App Store. They are published by Apple and are the same terms used by thousands of apps.
Nothing on this page replaces those terms. What follows explains how they apply here and what you can expect from this particular app.
Who may use Days and Tales
It is built for parents and guardians aged 18 or over. It is not for children, and a child should not create or hold an account. By adding a child or inviting a family member, you confirm you have the authority to share that information.
Your family’s content belongs to you
You retain your rights in the content you write, photograph and record. You authorise us and our service providers to store and process it to provide the features you choose, including sharing within your family space. Your journal is not sold or used for advertising. We do not opt your family content into AI model training. Optional transcription, service providers, retention and deletion are explained in the Privacy Policy.
What happens to it technically is set out in the Privacy Policy, which is worth reading before you start adding memories.
Subscriptions
Days and Tales is a subscription service, not a free-tier app. The price and billing period are shown before you confirm a purchase and may vary by country. Account and privacy controls remain available without requiring a new purchase.
- Payment is taken by Apple when you confirm the purchase, and charged to your Apple Account.
- A subscription renews automatically at the end of each period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends.
- You cancel through Settings → your name → Subscriptions on your iPhone, not through this app. Apple controls subscriptions and I cannot cancel one for you.
- Deleting the app or your account does not cancel your subscription. If you want billing to stop, cancel in Settings as well.
- Refunds are handled by Apple under their rules. I have no power to issue one, though if something has gone wrong I will happily help you make the case.
- Restoring a purchase requires the same Apple Account used to buy it.
How the stories are made
The weekly story is built from your own journal entries, on your own device. It does not invent events, and it is designed so a page cannot contain something you did not write.
It is not a professional record and should not be relied on as a medical, developmental or legal document. If you choose transcription and give permission to send a recording to OpenAI, check the returned text before saving: transcription can make mistakes. You can instead type a memory or save audio without transcription.
Using it sensibly
Don’t use Days and Tales to break the law, to harm or endanger a child, to upload material you have no right to share, or to attack or probe the service. Access can be suspended where that is necessary to protect a child, another person, or the service itself.
Availability, and keeping your own copies
This is a small independent app. I will keep it running and working, but I cannot promise it will never be unavailable, and I would be lying if I did. For anything truly irreplaceable, keep your own copy of the photograph as well — that is good advice for any app, including this one.
If Days and Tales were ever to shut down, you would be given clear notice and a way to export everything before it did.
Closing your account
You can request account deletion inside the app. Read the confirmation plan carefully: deleting your account does not delete other members’ accounts, and shared family spaces are treated separately. Read how deletion works. Remember to cancel your subscription separately in your iPhone settings.
Your legal rights
Nothing here removes rights you have under UK consumer law, and nothing in Apple’s terms does either. If a clause anywhere conflicts with a right the law gives you and will not let you sign away, the law wins.
Who you are dealing with
Days and Tales is run by Daniel Pilling, a sole trader in the United Kingdom, trading as Days and Tales. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, without affecting any right you have to bring a claim where you live.
