Privacy Policy

Effective date: 11 February 2025

1. Overview

Kindling is a personal mood and social wellness tracker for iOS. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, or provide advice on any mental health condition. Your privacy is fundamental to how we build this app. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

2. Data Storage

All personal data you enter into Kindling — including check-ins, mood entries, social energy levels, intentions, people, and notes — is stored locally on your device using Apple’s Core Data framework. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to any server.

We do not operate servers that store your personal data. We do not have access to your check-ins, mood entries, or any content you create within the app.

3. Analytics

Kindling uses TelemetryDeck for anonymous, privacy-friendly usage analytics. TelemetryDeck:

These analytics help us understand general usage patterns (e.g. which features are used most) so we can improve the app. No individual user can be identified from this data.

We do not collect, store, or process:

5. Third-Party Services

Kindling does not integrate with any third-party services beyond TelemetryDeck (described above). We do not share data with advertisers, data brokers, or any other third parties.

6. Data Retention and Deletion

Since all data is stored on your device, you have full control over it. Deleting the app from your device permanently deletes all associated data. There is no cloud backup or remote copy.

7. Children’s Privacy

Kindling is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any data from children.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated effective date.
