Kanso privacy

Privacy at a glance

Your practices, reflections, settings and Make Space photos are stored on your device. They are copied to your private iCloud database only if you turn on iCloud sync. The current app does not require a login or provide account creation. The app does not refresh legacy account sessions or upload practices or photos to an account service.

The app does not include advertising or third-party analytics SDKs and does not use your app data for cross-app tracking.

Information stored by the app

• Practice history: practice type, start and completion dates, duration, prompts, themes, breath settings, completion state and optional reflections.
• Make Space: photos you take in the app, optional notes, and whether or when an item was released. Optimised photo copies are stored in the app’s private storage.
• Preferences: practice durations, sound, music, haptics, reminder time, iCloud sync choice and Focus Shield selections.
• Health write status: whether a completed mindful practice was written to Apple Health and the identifier needed to avoid duplicate entries.

Device permissions and Apple features

• Camera: used when you choose to photograph an item for Make Space. The app does not browse your Photo Library.
• Microphone and speech recognition: used when you choose dictation. Audio and transcribed text are handled through Apple’s speech-recognition service; processing may occur on device or through Apple depending on system availability.
• Location while using the app: one current coordinate is used in memory to determine the local hemisphere and season. The app does not retain that coordinate or send it to LND apps.
• Apple Health: with permission, the app writes completed mindful-session duration and dates. It does not read Health data.
• Focus Shield: Apple’s Family Controls framework provides opaque selections for apps and categories you choose to shield. The app does not receive their names or browsing history.
• Notifications: the app can schedule a local reminder at the time you choose. Reminder settings stay on the device, or in your private iCloud data if sync is enabled.

You can change these permissions in iOS Settings. Turning off a permission limits only the feature that needs it.

Optional iCloud sync and account

iCloud sync is off by default. If you enable it, Apple CloudKit stores your practice history, reflections, preferences, release state and Make Space photos in your private iCloud database so they can be restored or used across your devices signed in to the same Apple account.

If you previously created an optional account in an earlier version, the legacy account provider may retain your email address, account identifier, name if supplied, authentication method and account timestamps. The current app does not access that account service. Apple or Google may have processed information when you chose a sign-in option in an earlier version. Practice history, reflections and photos are not sent to the account service by the current app.

Old authentication tokens may remain in the iOS Keychain; the current app does not use them.

Service providers and purchases

Apple provides iCloud, HealthKit, speech recognition, Family Controls, notifications, Sign in with Apple and App Store purchase services under Apple’s terms and privacy policy. Supabase and Google relate only to accounts created in earlier versions. The current app does not send your data to those services.

Coach recordings are bundled with the app. Some voices were created using ElevenLabs during production; your reflections, photos and voice input are not sent to ElevenLabs. Any App Store purchase or subscription is processed by Apple. The app receives transaction and entitlement status needed to unlock features; LND apps does not receive your full payment-card details.

Retention, deletion and your controls

• Delete individual practices, notes or Make Space items using the controls available in the app.
• Use Delete iCloud Backup in the app to delete the app’s private CloudKit backup and turn off sync.
• Deleting the app removes its device-local data, subject to iOS backups you control. It does not automatically delete an optional account or any private iCloud backup you have kept.
• To request deletion of a legacy account and associated profile, contact us using the address below.

We keep optional account information until the account is deleted or as required for security, legal or dispute purposes.
