Jiva — Privacy Policy

What we collect

Jiva collects the minimum information needed to operate the app and improve it. Specifically:

1. Feedback you submit voluntarily

When you tap Feedback in the app and submit a message, we store:

• The text you wrote
• App version (e.g. 1.0 (1))
• iOS version (e.g. 26.4.2)
• Device model (e.g. iPhone)
• Timestamp

This data is stored in Apple iCloud (CloudKit Public Database) in a private container owned by KUMU STUDIYA, OSOO. Only the developers of Jiva can read this data through Apple's CloudKit Dashboard.

2. Local app state

The following is stored only on your device (in iOS UserDefaults) and never transmitted anywhere:

• Your onboarding answers and chosen practice level
• Daily progress, XP, unlocked forms
• Diary entries you make in the app
• Read/witnessed sūtras

If you delete the app, this data is removed from your device.

3. iCloud (if you choose)

Jiva does not sync your personal practice data to iCloud automatically. iCloud is used only for delivering feedback messages to the developers as described in (1).

What we do NOT collect

Jiva does not collect:

• Your name, email, phone, or any personal identifiers
• Your location
• Your contacts, photos, microphone, camera, health data, or any other system permissions
• Behavioral tracking data
• Third-party advertising or analytics identifiers

We do not use any third-party SDKs for tracking, advertising, or analytics.

How we use your information

Feedback messages are read by the Jiva team to fix bugs and improve the app. We do not:

• Share feedback content with third parties
• Use it for advertising
• Sell it
• Combine it with other data to identify you

Data retention

Feedback messages are kept in CloudKit indefinitely unless you ask us to delete them. To request deletion of a feedback message you submitted, contact kamil@kumu-studio.com with a brief description of when you submitted it and roughly what it said.

In-app purchases

Jiva offers paid subscriptions and a one-time Lifetime purchase through the Apple App Store. We do not receive your payment information — Apple handles all billing. We only receive a confirmation from Apple that you are entitled to the paid content.

Your rights (GDPR, for EU users)

Users in the European Union have the following rights:

• Access — request a copy of feedback messages you've submitted
• Deletion — request removal of feedback messages
