Overview

Mokume ("Mokume," "the App") is developed by Adelyons Software LLC ("we," "us," or "our"). Mokume is a local-first, no-account bonsai care journal. It lets you catalog unlimited trees, log real bonsai work, follow a multi-year Tree Story photo timeline, read a bundled species care library, and unlock a species-aware seasonal work calendar. This policy explains how the App handles your information.

Information Stored On Your Device

The following is created and stored locally on your device only, in a private database (SQLite) within the App. It is not transmitted to us or to any server:

• Trees & collection: Name, species, species class, in-training-since year, acquired date, hemisphere, photos you add, and notes for each tree.
• Work entries: Your water, fertilize, prune, pinch, wire, unwire, repot, root work, defoliate, pest-treatment, photo, and free-note log entries, with their dates (including ones you backdate).
• Tree Story: The per-tree photo and work progression timeline derived from your entries.
• Work calendar & reminders: The seasonal tasks and reminders computed on-device from each tree's species class, hemisphere, and the current date.
• Species library: The bundled care notes and any custom species you add.
• Exports: Any CSV export files you create and choose to save and share yourself.
• App settings & preferences: Your in-app preferences and display choices.

Because this data lives only on your device, it is removed when you delete an entry in the App, clear the App's data, or uninstall the App.

No Account, No Cloud, No Server

• Mokume does not require you to create an account, sign in, or provide an email address, phone number, name, or any other identifier. There is no contacts grab.
• We do not operate a server that receives, stores, or backs up your data. There is no backend anywhere in the App.
• Your data is not synced between devices by us. If your device's operating system backs up app data (for example through iCloud or Android backup that you have enabled), that backup is controlled by you and your platform provider under their policies — not by us.
• Mokume lets you create your own export (CSV) that you save and share yourself. Export is free for everyone and is never paywalled.

Insights Are Deterministic & On-Device — No AI Model

Every insight in Mokume — the species-aware seasonal work calendar, the weekly "what to do this week" digest, care reminders, and the Tree Story progression card — is produced by deterministic, rule-based logic that runs entirely on your device. Identical input always produces identical output. There is no language model, no AI model, and no model download anywhere in the App, and these features require no network connection and no API key. Nothing about your trees is sent anywhere to compute an insight.

Optional Purchases (Mokume Pro)

Mokume's core is free, with an optional Mokume Pro upgrade. Purchases are the only feature that involves any data leaving your device, and they are handled by trusted providers:

• Apple App Store / Google Play: When you subscribe or make the lifetime purchase, the transaction is processed entirely by Apple or Google under their own privacy policies. We never receive or store your payment-card details.
• RevenueCat: We use RevenueCat to validate and restore your Mokume Pro entitlement. RevenueCat receives a purchase token, an anonymous app-generated user identifier, and basic device and purchase metadata needed to deliver and restore your purchase. It does not receive any of your collection data — no trees, work entries, photos, or notes. See RevenueCat's privacy policy.

If you never make a purchase, no purchase-related data is sent. Subscription terms (including the 7-day annual trial and auto-renewal) are described in our Terms of Service and EULA, and are also governed by Apple's Media Services Terms and Google Play's Terms of Service.

What We Do NOT Collect

• We do not collect, upload, or store your collection or any of your data on any server.
• We do not require an account, email address, phone number, name, or login, and we do not request access to your contacts.
• We do not collect location data.
• We do not use advertising identifiers or any cross-app tracking, and we do not show ads.
• We do not use third-party analytics or crash-reporting SDKs in the App that send your usage or personal data to us.
• We do not sell or rent your personal information to anyone. There is nothing for us to sell — your data stays on your phone.

Data Retention & Deletion

Because your trees, work entries, photos, notes, and exports are stored only on your device, you control them directly and they are kept for as long as you keep them:

• Delete in-app: Remove individual entries at any time, or clear the App's data from within the App or your device settings.
• Uninstall: Deleting the App from your device permanently removes all of its locally stored data. Because there is no server, there is no server-side copy to delete and no account to close.
• Purchase records: Subscription and purchase records held by Apple, Google, or RevenueCat are retained under their respective policies. You can manage or cancel a subscription from your device's store settings.

Security

Your data stays within the App's private storage on your device, protected by your device's operating system. Communication with the App Store, Google Play, and RevenueCat for purchase handling uses encrypted (TLS) connections. No system can guarantee absolute security, but keeping your data on-device means there is no central database of your collection to breach.

Children's Privacy

Mokume is a general-audience hobby app and is not directed to children, and it does not request that children provide information to us. Because everything is local and there is no server, we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone — there is nowhere for such data to be sent to us. If you believe information somehow reached us (which our architecture is designed to prevent), contact us using the details below and we will help.

Your Rights

Privacy laws such as the GDPR (EU/EEA/UK) and CCPA/CPRA (California) give you rights to access, correct, delete, and port your personal data, and to opt out of its sale. Because Mokume does not collect or store your personal data on our servers, we hold nothing about you to disclose, correct, or sell. You can exercise full control over your in-app data using the deletion and export options above. For any purchase data held by Apple, Google, or RevenueCat, contact those providers or reach us using the details below and we will help.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the App evolves. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Effective date" above and, where appropriate, through an in-app notice. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
