PRIVACY POLICY

Effective 2026-07-17.

haikala is published by river.io LLC. It is a meditation timer that paints a sand mandala from a classical haiku. The summary is short because the data flows are short — we do not collect any information about you.

— 01 · What the app collects —

Nothing. haikala has no analytics, no telemetry, no crash reporters, no advertising SDKs, no accounts, and no server. The app makes no network calls at all: the one hundred public-domain haiku, the color palettes, and the bell sound all ship inside the app. Your meditation sessions are not recorded anywhere — not even on your device. When you release a mandala, it is gone.

— 02 · What lives on your device —

Nothing you entered, because the app asks you to enter nothing. The app stores only its own program and assets. It does not use the microphone, camera, location, contacts, photos, or any other protected resource, and requests no permissions.

— 03 · App Store —

haikala is distributed through Apple's App Store. Apple may provide us aggregate download statistics that do not identify you. Refer to Apple's privacy policy for Apple's part.

— 04 · This website —

This site (river.io) is a static page hosted on GitHub Pages. The website uses Google Analytics and sets cookies for it. The app does not, and nothing above changes. GitHub may keep standard web-server access logs for security purposes; see GitHub's privacy statement. The page loads webfonts from Google Fonts; consult Google's privacy policy for that connection. Full detail: the river.io website privacy policy.

— 05 · Children —

haikala is rated 4+ and collects no data from anyone, children included.

— 06 · Your rights —

Because we do not collect or store data about you, requests to access, correct, delete, or port personal data (GDPR, CCPA, and equivalents) do not produce a record from us — there is nothing to produce.

— 07 · Changes and contact —

If a future version changes how the app handles data, we will update this page and its effective date. Privacy questions: privacy@river.io.
