Privacy Policy

Overview

Clarity is designed as a private Buddhist reflection and practice app. We do not sell your personal data, do not use third-party advertising trackers, and do not create a public profile or social feed.

Some features work locally on your device. Cloud Tap features are optional and send selected redacted text to secure cloud services only when you choose to use them.

Information processed on your device

Clarity may store or process the following on your iPhone:

• Reflection text and local transcripts.
• Practice progress, meditation sessions, Buddhist learning state, calendar state, and app preferences.
• Audio recordings created during capture, if kept by the app.
• Local pattern or preference cues used to make reflections more useful.
• Apple Health data you allow Clarity to read, such as mindful minutes, sleep, heart rate, and steps.

Apple Health data is used on device for local pattern notes. If enabled, Clarity may also save completed Meditation Zone sessions to Apple Health as mindful minutes.

Clarity does not upload Apple Health data to our servers or send it to Cloud Tap. Health access is controlled by Apple Health permissions and can be changed in iOS Settings or the Health app.

Cloud Tap

Cloud Tap is optional. When you choose a Cloud Tap response, Clarity sends selected redacted text, basic app metadata, and limited preference cues to our secure cloud backend so a cloud model can generate a response.

Audio files and raw transcripts remain on your device. Only the selected redacted text is sent for Cloud Tap processing.

Cloud Tap uses OpenAI model APIs through our secure cloud backend. We request that model responses are not stored for training or application state where the API supports this. Technical logs may contain request metadata needed for security, debugging, abuse prevention, and service reliability.

Accounts, purchases, and entitlement

Clarity may use anonymous cloud authentication so the app can securely call backend functions. If you purchase Clarity Reflect or support the app, Apple processes the payment. Clarity stores only the database entitlement information needed to unlock paid features, such as product ID, transaction reference, expiry status, and anonymous user identifier.

We do not receive or store your full payment card details.

Speech and dictation

Voice capture is used to create reflection text. Depending on your device, language, and iOS settings, Apple speech services may process dictation under Apple's own privacy terms. Clarity does not store your voice audio on our servers.

Support contact

If you contact support, we will receive the information you choose to send, such as your email address, device details, screenshots, or issue description. We use this only to answer support requests and improve reliability.

Data deletion

You can delete local app data from the app or by deleting the app from your device. You can also delete the current anonymous cloud account and related entitlement records from Privacy / Cloud Tap in the app. If you need help with deletion, contact us and we will help remove associated backend records where technically possible and legally permitted.

Younger users

Clarity is not submitted as an App Store Kids Category app and is not designed primarily for children. If a parent or guardian has questions about a younger person's use of Clarity or wants help removing related support or backend records, contact us.

Changes

We may update this policy as Clarity changes. The effective date above will be updated when material changes are made.
