Privacy Policy
Last Updated: May 11, 2026
1. The Emotional Laboratory's Commitment
Soft Orbit is designed as a psychological sanctuary. We recognize that the inner cosmos is intimately private. This Privacy Policy details the meticulous care we take in handling your personal and emotional data when you use the Soft Orbit iOS application.
2. Data Collection and Usage
Our commitment to minimalism extends to data collection. We only gather what is fundamentally necessary for your celestial guidance:
- Account Information: If you choose to create an account, we collect your email address purely for authentication and synchronization across your Apple devices.
- Astrological Data: Birth date, time, and location are stored locally on your device to calculate your personal cosmic rhythms and planetary alignments.
- Emotional Logs: Your daily editorial reflections and ritualistic entries are encrypted and stored within your private iCloud account via Apple's CloudKit. We cannot read your journal entries.
3. The Triad of Data Protection
We deploy a rigorous methodology to ensure your psychological sanctuary remains unbreached:
- Zero Knowledge Architecture: We do not hold the cryptographic keys to decipher your private emotional logs.
- No Third-Party Advertising: Muting the noise of the chaotic world is our priority. Your data is absolutely never sold, rented, or shared with advertisers or data brokers.
- On-Device Processing: The majority of your celestial calculations and insight generation occurs directly on your iOS device.
4. Third-Party Integrations
To provide a seamless experience, we lean on Apple's native frameworks. No extraneous third-party trackers (like Facebook Pixel or Google Analytics) are embedded in Soft Orbit. Crash analytics are strictly opt-in via Apple's standard developer diagnostics.
5. Your Rights & Celestial Autonomy
You maintain ultimate sovereignty over your data universe. You have the full right to:
- Access all personal data connected to your profile.
- Export your emotional logs and cosmic rhythms at any point.
- Request total deletion of your profile and server-side data (while on-device data must be deleted manually by uninstalling the app).
6. Changes to the Methodology
Should we evolve our practices or align with new regulatory orbits, we will update this scroll. Material changes will be communicated via the app interfacing well before arriving in effect.
