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.

Kanso does not require or offer a separate LND apps account in this release. 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 choose to 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 your hemisphere and show the appropriate season. Kanso 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. Kanso does not receive their names or your 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

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.

Service providers and purchases

Apple provides iCloud, HealthKit, speech recognition, Family Controls, notifications, and App Store purchase services under Apple’s terms and privacy policy.

Any App Store purchase or subscription is processed by Apple. Kanso 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 Kanso.
• Use Delete iCloud Backup in the app to delete Kanso’s private CloudKit backup and turn off sync.
• Deleting Kanso removes its device-local data, subject to iOS backups you control. It does not automatically delete a private iCloud backup you have kept.
