Karmaleon privacy policy
In short
- What you write in Karmaleon stays on your devices and in your own iCloud account. We never receive it.
- The app has no account, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. It sends nothing to us, and the only place it sends what you write is your own iCloud account.
- Apple handles the payment for the app. We never see your card details.

We are the controller for the personal data described in this policy. Write to us about anything in it.
What stays on your device
For each action you log, the app keeps on your device what you write about it, your private note, when you logged it and last edited it, whether it helped or harmed people or animals, how much and how many, your reasons, and whether anyone saw it or knows. It also keeps your settings: the theme and App Lock. Your karma is calculated from your actions each time and isn't stored.
To keep your actions out of another iCloud account, the app also keeps an identifier that iCloud gives your account for this app, and the identifiers of actions you deleted, without their content.
The app has no account and no server of its own. We never receive any of this. Your device's own backups, to iCloud or to a computer, include the app's data, as they do for other apps.
iCloud sync
When your device is signed in to iCloud, the app keeps a copy of your actions, private notes included, in your private iCloud database, so that your iPhones and iPads stay in step. If you set App Lock to All my devices via iCloud, whether it is on, and when you changed it, is stored there too, and stays there if you switch back to This device. Apple stores this copy under Apple's privacy policy.
We can't read it. The app has no way to share it, so it shows your actions only on devices signed in to your iCloud account.
App Lock
App Lock uses Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode, which iOS checks on your device. The app never receives your face, fingerprint or passcode.
Buying the app
Apple takes the payment for Karmaleon, under its own terms and privacy policy. Apple reports sales to us, such as their date, country and price, for our accounting. These reports don't name you, and we never see your card details.
Crash reports
If your device shares diagnostics with app developers, Apple passes us reports of the app's crashes. They don't identify you. You choose this in the Settings app, under Privacy & Security, Analytics & Improvements. If you test the app through TestFlight, Apple shares with us what TestFlight shows developers: your name and email if we invited you by email, how often you install and open the app, its crash reports, and any feedback and screenshots you send. Ask us, and we'll remove you as a tester.
If you write to us, we use your email address and your message to answer you. We keep them for 12 months after the conversation ends, unless we need them longer to meet a legal obligation.

Legal bases
- Sales records: our legal obligation to keep accounting records.
- Crash reports and TestFlight: our legitimate interest in testing and fixing the app, with your choice in your device's settings.
- Email: our legitimate interest in answering you.
- This website: our legitimate interest in sending you the page you asked for.
Who receives data
- Apple, for iCloud sync, for the purchase, and for crash reports if you share them.
Transfers outside the EEA
Apple may process data in the United States and other countries outside the European Economic Area. It relies on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.
How long data is kept
| Data | Kept |
|---|---|
| What you enter in the app | On your device until you delete it or the app, and in your device backups until they are replaced. In iCloud until you delete the app's iCloud data, including actions you deleted in the app. |
| Sales reports | 7 years, as Dutch law requires for accounting records. |
| Crash reports | By Apple, under its policy. |
| 12 months after the conversation ends. |
Deleting your data
- An action: open it, tap Delete action, then Delete. It leaves your other devices the next time Karmaleon syncs there. Its copy in your iCloud account stays until you delete the app's iCloud data, as described next.
- Everything: delete the app from each device first, because a device that still has it uploads its actions again. Then open the Settings app, tap your name, then iCloud, then Storage (or Manage Account Storage). Tap Karmaleon, then Delete Data from iCloud. Copies in your device backups go when those backups are replaced or deleted.
- Your email: ask us, and we'll delete it.
Apart from your email, and your tester details if you use TestFlight, we hold nothing about you.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to ask us for access to your personal data, to have it corrected or deleted, to restrict or object to how we use it, and to receive it in a portable form. Write to support@4donsoft.com.
You also have the right to complain to the Dutch data protection authority, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens, or to the authority where you live.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll publish the new version here with a new effective date.
