Sobato does not collect, transmit, or sell your personal data. Everything you enter into the app stays on your device. We use your location only on your device to calculate sunrise and sunset times for the theme, and we never send that location to any server.
This Privacy Policy describes how Sobato ("we," "us," or "our") handles your information when you use our mobile application.
We believe that your journey is private. Unlike many other apps, Sobato is designed with a "Local-First" and "Privacy-First" architecture.
| Personal Information | We do not collect names, emails, phone numbers, or any other contact information. |
|---|---|
| Journal & Usage Data | Your check-ins, mood logs, addiction type, and personal notes are stored securely locally on your device using strict application sandboxing. This data is never transmitted to us or any third-party cloud servers. |
| Account Deletion | Since we do not have user accounts or store data on our servers, there is no "account" to delete. You can delete all your data instantly by simply uninstalling the app or using the "Reset Data" feature within the app settings. |
We request access to your device's location (precise or approximate) for a single functional purpose:
The app entails no third-party tracking or analytics SDKs (e.g., Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Firebase). We do not track your behavior across other apps or websites.
However, the app is distributed via the Apple App Store, and the operating system itself may collect standard usage telemetry (like crash reports) if you have opted-in to share such data with Apple.
We retain your data only for as long as you keep the app installed on your device. If you uninstall the app, all local data is permanently removed by the operating system.
Sobato does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. Given our "no-collection" policy, we possess no data on any user's age or identity.
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Since we do not collect your email address, we cannot notify you directly of changes. We advise you to review this page periodically for any changes. Changes are effective immediately after they are posted on this page.
