1 Overview & Core Commitment
Welcome to Tarot Private Reading Journal ("we", "us", "our", or the "Application"). We hold a fundamental belief that your personal spiritual reflections, tarot readings, emotional states, and journal entries are deeply personal and belong exclusively to you.
This Privacy Policy outlines how Tarot Private Reading Journal operates under a strict zero-data-collection, local-first architecture. Unlike conventional mobile applications, our app does not transmit your personal readings, reflections, or preferences to remote servers or third-party databases.
Core Guarantee: We do not collect, monetize, sell, lease, analyze, or inspect your personal readings or journal entries. What happens in your journal stays on your device.
2 Information We Do Not Collect
To provide total transparency for compliance with Google Play Developer Policies and global privacy regulations (including GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and CalOPPA), we explicitly confirm that we do not collect:
- Personal Identifiers: We do not collect your real name, email address, physical address, phone number, government ID, or social media handles.
- Financial or Billing Data: No payment details, credit cards, or financial account details are accessed or stored.
- Location Data: We do not request, access, or track your GPS location, IP address, or Wi-Fi network information.
- Biometrics & Media: No access to your camera, microphone, photo library, or voice recordings.
- Device & Network Fingerprinting: No unique advertising IDs (GAID/IDFA), IMEI numbers, MAC addresses, or browser footprints are collected.
3 Data Handled Exclusively On Your Device
The Application allows you to record information to enrich your personal tarot journaling journey. All such data is processed and stored 100% locally within your device's isolated application sandbox (via SharedPreferences / local key-value storage):
| Data Type | Purpose | Storage Location | Transmitted Remotely? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Profile Details Name/Pseudonym, Date of Birth |
Used strictly on-device to personalize your interface and calculate your numerological Life Path Number and personal archetypes. | Local Device Only | No (Zero Transmission) |
| Tarot Readings Cards drawn, upright/reversed states, mood, intention |
Enables your personal daily readings, reveal animations, and reading interpretations. | Local Device Only | No (Zero Transmission) |
| Journal Reflections & Notes Written thoughts, resonance scores (1–5) |
Provides a self-reflective journaling space to record insights and revisit historical draws. | Local Device Only | No (Zero Transmission) |
| Journey Statistics & Archetypes Streaks, card frequencies, milestones |
Computes patterns over time (e.g. most drawn cards, milestone badges, consistency streaks). | Local Device Only | No (Zero Transmission) |
No external entity, including the developer of this application, has access to or visibility of this data.
4 Device Permissions
Tarot Private Reading Journal adheres to the principle of least privilege:
- No Dangerous Permissions: The app does not request access to contacts, precise or approximate location, microphone, camera, or SMS.
- No Remote Internet Requirement: The core application does not require an active internet connection to deliver full tarot readings, journal logging, or card interpretations.
5 Third-Party Services & SDKs
Many applications embed third-party Software Development Kits (SDKs) that transmit telemetry or tracking information in the background.
Our Direct Statement: Tarot Private Reading Journal does NOT integrate third-party ad networks (such as Google AdMob, Unity Ads), third-party analytics trackers (such as Google Analytics, Firebase Analytics, Mixpanel, Adjust, AppsFlyer), or behavioral advertising SDKs.
Your usage habits, frequency of app opens, cards drawn, and journaling schedules remain entirely unmonitored.
6 Data Retention & Full Deletion Control
Because all your data is stored locally on your device, you have complete and total ownership over your data at all times.
How to Delete All Data:
- Clearing App Data: You can wipe all readings, profile information, and statistics at any time via your device's settings (e.g., Android Settings → Apps → Tarot Private Reading Journal → Storage → Clear Storage / Clear Data).
- Uninstalling the Application: Uninstalling or deleting the application from your device permanently and instantaneously purges all stored databases, reading histories, and local preferences.
Because we do not maintain server copies or cloud backups of your data, data wiped from your device cannot be restored by us.
7 Children's Privacy (COPPA & GDPR-K)
The Application is designed for general audiences and is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in certain European jurisdictions).
Because the Application operates strictly on-device and does not transmit or collect personal identifiable information over the internet, we do not knowingly solicit, collect, or store personal data from children. If a parent or guardian discovers that a child has entered personal data on a device, they can delete the data immediately by clearing the app's cache or uninstalling the app.
8 Compliance with Global Privacy Frameworks
We respect your global privacy rights under applicable data protection laws, including:
- European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR / UK-GDPR): You have the right to access, rectify, restrict, or erase your data. Since all data resides locally on your mobile hardware, you exercise direct and immediate control over these rights through the app and your operating system.
- California Consumer Privacy Act / CPRA (CCPA): We do not sell, rent, share, or monetize any consumer personal information. We do not engage in cross-context behavioral advertising.
- Brazil LGPD, Canada PIPEDA, & Global Equivalents: All processing is strictly limited to providing on-device functionality requested by the user.
9 Security & Data Protection
Your information is safeguarded by your mobile operating system's native application sandbox architecture (Android / iOS). This ensures that other applications installed on your phone cannot access your tarot journal or profile without explicit system authorization.
To ensure the highest level of security, we recommend keeping your device operating system updated and protecting your device with a secure PIN, fingerprint, or facial recognition lock.

We may periodically update this Privacy Policy to reflect app improvements or regulatory updates. Any modifications will be posted on this page with an updated "Effective Date" at the top of the policy.
