Privacy Policy

Welcome to Thangka Khorlo, an iOS mobile application developed to help users explore Tibetan Buddhist Thangka art and engage in meditation practices. Your privacy is paramount to us. This Privacy Policy details how we handle information in connection with your use of our application.

1. Information Collection & Use

Thangka Khorlo is designed to function as an offline-first utility. We strongly believe in absolute user privacy:

• No Personal Data Collection: We do not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal identity information (such as your name, email address, physical address, or phone number).
• No Device Tracking: We do not use third-party analytics packages or tracking software that monitor your behavior across websites or other applications.
• Local-Only Storage: Any settings, meditation logs, haptic preferences, or prayer counts you configure inside the app are stored exclusively on your local device. This data is not uploaded to our servers.

2. Permissions

The application may request the following permissions on your device to enable core functionalities:

• Haptics & Audio: Used purely locally to trigger vibrational feedback (simulating the spin of the prayer wheel) and play ambient meditation sounds.
• Notifications: If enabled, used locally to send meditation reminders. We do not use notifications for marketing or promotions.

3. Third-Party Services

The App does not contain links to third-party APIs or external analytics trackers. However, the App is distributed via the Apple App Store, which may collect standard, anonymized crash logs or performance statistics under Apple's standard privacy policies.

4. Security

Since all data remains stored on your local device, the security of your app data depends on your iOS device's built-in security features (such as passcode, FaceID, or TouchID). We recommend keeping your iOS operating system updated to ensure optimal protection.

5. Children's Privacy

Our application is safe for all users, including children. Since we do not collect any personal data from any user, we do not knowingly or unknowingly collect information from children under the age of 13.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we safeguard your information.
