Privacy Policy
Yukaria Spirit
Last updated: August 12, 2026
Yukaria Spirit ("Yukaria," "we," "us," or "our") is operated by Yukaria LLC. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use the Yukaria Spirit mobile application (the "App") and our website, yukaria.com, how we use it, and the choices you have.
We built Yukaria Spirit to be a quiet, focused space for meditation and prayer. That principle extends to your data: we collect only what we need to provide the service, we do not track you for advertising, and we do not sell your information.
Information We Collect
We collect the following information so the App can function:
- Email address. Used to sign you in. Yukaria Spirit uses passwordless "magic link" sign-in, so we send a one-time link to your email rather than storing a password.
- Account and session data. A session token that keeps you signed in, and basic profile details you provide, such as your name and your daily practice goals.
- Practice data. Information you generate by using the App, such as your meditation sessions, check-ins, streaks, and practice history.
- Prayer requests. If you submit a prayer request, we collect the request itself along with your name and email address, so our meditation teacher can receive it and follow up if needed. Prayer requests are confidential and are reviewed only by our meditation teacher; to deliver them, our email provider (Resend, listed below) transmits each request to her as a notification email. On our website, a prayer request may be submitted without an account.
- Event RSVPs. If you RSVP to a gathering, we collect your name, your email address, the event you are attending, and an optional message, so we can manage attendance and send you an RSVP confirmation email.
- Time zone. Used to display your practice history and schedules correctly for your local time.
- Server logs. Standard technical information our servers record when the App or your browser communicates with them, such as request times and error information, used to operate and troubleshoot the service.
- Crash and error diagnostics. When the App encounters an error or crash, we collect diagnostic information such as the type of error, technical details about the device and operating system, and the state of the App at the time, so we can identify and fix problems. We configure this reporting to avoid attaching personal identifiers such as your email address.
Information We Do Not Collect
We want to be clear about what we don't do:
- We do not use behavioral or advertising analytics to track how you navigate or interact with the App.
- We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to anyone.
- We do not use your information to build advertising profiles.
On our website, we use Cloudflare Web Analytics, a privacy-first measurement service. For each page view it collects the page visited, the referring site, your country, your browser, operating system, and device type, and page-load performance timings, which we see only in aggregate. It does not use cookies, does not track individual visitors across sites, and does not build profiles.
We do collect crash and error diagnostics (described above) for the sole purpose of fixing problems and keeping the App stable. This is not used to track your behavior or for advertising.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information above only to:
- Authenticate you and keep you signed in.
- Provide the core features of the App, including your practice tracking and history.
- Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the service.
- Communicate with you about your account or the service when necessary.
Service Providers
We rely on a small number of trusted third-party services to operate the App. These providers process limited information on our behalf and only as needed to provide their service:
- Resend — sends transactional email, such as your sign-in links.
- Neon — hosts our database.
- Google Cloud Platform — provides our server and hosting infrastructure.
- Cloudflare — provides privacy-first analytics for our website (yukaria.com). It processes the page-view information described above (page, referrer, country, browser, operating system, device type, and performance timings) without cookies or individual-visitor tracking.
- Expo (EAS) — delivers application updates. When the App checks for updates, it sends your device's operating system, the app version, and a randomized installation token — an anonymous identifier that is not connected to your account — which also gives us aggregate update-adoption and app-usage statistics. This does not identify you and is not used for advertising.
- Sentry — provides crash and error reporting so we can detect and fix problems in the App. It processes the diagnostic information described above. We configure it to minimize personal data.
- Apple App Store and Google Play — distribute the App. Their handling of your store account information is governed by their own privacy policies.
Data Retention
We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service. Sign-in links expire after 15 minutes; expired link records — which include the email address they were sent to — are deleted during our daily automated cleanup. When you delete your account, everything stored about you in our systems — your profile, practice history, RSVPs, prayer requests, and sign-in records — is deleted at that moment, and this cannot be undone. Four narrow exceptions remain: records we are required to retain by law; routine server logs, which can include your IP address and age out automatically within about 30 days; copies of prayer requests already emailed to our meditation teacher, which we delete on request; and prayer requests submitted on our website without signing in, which are not connected to any account (see Your Choices and Rights below).
Information Stored on Your Device
The App keeps local copies of some information on your device so it can work smoothly, including when you are offline: your session token (which is sent with your requests to keep you signed in), practice sessions completed offline that are waiting to sync (these are sent to our servers when your connection returns), and a cached copy of your profile and practice progress. These local copies are removed from your device when you sign out or delete your account.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) between the App and our servers. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your information using industry-standard practices.
Your Choices and Rights
You can:
- Access and update your profile information within the App.
- Delete your account directly from within the App, in the settings menu. This permanently deletes your account and the data stored with it (including your practice history, RSVPs, and prayer requests); the narrow exceptions are listed under Data Retention above. This cannot be undone.
If you cannot access the App, you can also request account deletion by emailing us at victoria@yukaria.com from your account's email address, and we will delete your account and its data the same way.
Prayer requests submitted on our website without an account are not linked to any account, so account deletion does not remove them. To have one removed, contact us at the address below.
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights regarding your personal information under applicable privacy laws. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the address below.
Children's Privacy
Yukaria Spirit is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, provide notice within the App. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
