Prado Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Iterative Key LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information in Prado (the “app”), our gratitude journal for Android, iPhone, and iPad. It applies to the app only. Our website is covered by the separate website privacy policy.
Prado is designed to work entirely on your device. It does not require an account, does not connect to the internet, and has no ads, analytics, or crash reporting.
Information stored on your device
To do its job, the app stores your journal on your device: each thought you write, the day and time you wrote it, the question it answered, whether you marked it as a reframed hard moment, and the plant it grew. Because you choose what to write, your thoughts may include personal details about your life.
The journal is kept in the app’s private storage, which other apps cannot read. It is never sent to us, and we have no way to see it.
Backup and moving to a new device
If Android backup is turned on for your phone, Android can include your journal in your device backup, and can copy it when you transfer your data to a new phone. This backup is made and stored by Android in your own Google account, under your control. It is not sent to us, and we cannot access it. On Android 9 and later, when your phone has a screen lock, Android encrypts the backup with your PIN, pattern, or password. You can turn backup off, or delete existing backups, in your phone’s Settings (usually under Google, then Backup) or in your Google account. Google’s handling of backups is described in the Google Privacy Policy.
On iPhone and iPad, your journal is included when you back your device up with iCloud Backup, or to a computer, and comes back when you restore that backup. This backup is made by iOS and stored in your own iCloud account or on your computer, under your control. It is not sent to us, and we cannot access it. You can manage iCloud Backup in your device’s Settings, under your name, then iCloud. Apple’s handling of backups is described in the Apple Privacy Policy.
Permissions the app uses
None. The app does not access the internet, your location, contacts, camera, microphone, photos, files, notifications, or other accounts.
How we use and share information
We do not collect information from the app, so we have nothing to use or share. We do not sell, rent, or trade your information, and we do not share it for advertising. If Iterative Key LLC is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, this policy will continue to apply.
Security
Your journal is protected by the system’s app sandbox and your device’s storage encryption.
Your choices and rights
- You can let go of any thought in the app: open its plant and tap Let it go. It is deleted from your device.
- You can delete everything the app has stored by uninstalling it, or on Android by clearing the app’s storage in your phone’s Settings. A copy may remain in your Android or iCloud backup until you delete it or the backup is replaced.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal information. Because we do not collect any, everything the app knows about you is on your device and in your control. If you have a question or a request, please contact us.
Children’s privacy
The app is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. The app collects no personal information from anyone. If you have a concern, please contact us.
Changes to this policy
If we change how the app handles information, we will update this policy on this page and change the effective date above. If the changes are significant, we will also let you know in the app or in its store listing.
