Ma — Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 10, 2026 · Last updated: June 10, 2026

Ma (間) is a rest tracking app built on the Japanese concept of ma — intentional negative space, stillness, and pause. This Privacy Policy explains what information the app collects, how it is used, and your rights.

Ma is developed and published by Steven Saccio Photography LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”), based in Tallahassee, Florida, USA.

1. Information We Collect

Ma is designed with privacy as a default. All personal data is stored locally on your device. We do not operate servers that receive or store your rest entries, notes, or reflection responses.

Data stored locally on your device:

  • Your rest log entries (type, duration, notes, date)
  • Weekly reflection responses
  • Your language preference
  • Your notification preferences and reminder times

This data lives entirely in your device’s local SQLite database and AsyncStorage. It is not transmitted to us or any third party.

Crash and diagnostic data: The app is built using the Expo platform, which may collect anonymized crash reports and basic diagnostic information. This data does not include your personal entries or reflections. You can review Expo’s data practices at expo.dev/privacy.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

  • We do not collect your name, email address, or any account information
  • We do not track your location
  • We do not use advertising identifiers or serve ads
  • We do not sell or share your data with third parties for marketing
  • We do not use analytics SDKs or behavioral tracking tools
  • We do not sync your data to any cloud service

3. In-App Purchase

Ma offers an optional one-time purchase to unlock the depth features (extended history and annual year-in-rest report). This purchase is processed entirely by Apple (via the App Store) or Google (via the Play Store). We do not receive or store your payment information.

4. Notifications

If you enable morning or evening reminders, Ma will request permission to send you local push notifications. These notifications are scheduled locally on your device and do not require an internet connection or involve external servers. You can disable notifications at any time in your device’s Settings app.

5. Children’s Privacy

Ma is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

6. Data Retention and Deletion

Because all data is stored locally on your device, you have full control over it. Uninstalling the app removes all locally stored entries, history, and preferences.

7. International Users — South Korea and Japan

Ma is available globally, with primary markets in South Korea and Japan. Because we do not collect or process personal data on our servers, there is no cross-border transfer of personal information.

Users in South Korea may have rights under the Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA). Users in Japan may have rights under the Act on Protection of Personal Information (APPI). As we do not collect personal data, these rights primarily apply to any crash/diagnostic data handled by the Expo platform.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
